Sovereign Union: Callout: 6th July Darling Harbour, Sydney, protest against assimilation into the colonial Constitution
http://www.sovereignunion.mobi/content/callout-6th-july-darling-harbour-...
30 Jun 15: "On 6 July 2015 Tony Abbott, Bill Shorten and the selected 40 government-appointed 'Indigenous Leaders' will be meeting together at Darling Harbour Sydney to discuss advancing the referendum proposal, but the exact time and location has not been released by the organisers, Prime Minister and Cabinet. The meeting is not even listed as an 'upcoming event' on their website www.dpmc.gov.au (link is external). We need a united protest outside to demonstrate our opposition to this corrupted process."
"Ghillar, Michael Anderson, ... released a statement today from Moree, where he is meeting with the executive of Northern Basin Aboriginal Nations (22 in all). ...
"Clearly an important aspect of the issues under discussion is Aboriginal citizenship and our relationship to the rest of Australia. The Northern Basin Aboriginal Nations (NBAN) have concluded they are not Australian, but are themselves belonging to their own respective Nation. The delegates themselves express no interest in being part of the Australian Constitution because we have always been outside of the system. ...
Most importantly the Aboriginal Nations, who have declared their independence by way of the UDIs, Unilateral Declarations of Independence, legitimately stand outside any Aboriginal people's approval for a constitutional change, if it succeeds at all. We are many languages, we are many Nations, each with our own Law and culture that does not permit one mob making decisions for the other. There is sufficient evidence right across this continent for this. ... "

Sovereign Union: Government's establishment of First Nations Assembly at Native Title Conference

17 Jun 15: "Ghillar, Michael Anderson, Convenor of the Sovereign Union, co-founder of the Aboriginal Embassy and Head of State of the Euahlayi Peoples Republic said today from Geneva, where he is attending the 1979 and 1981 UN First Delegates Symposium, with topics including 'Decolonisation' and 'Permanent Sovereignty over Natural Resources':
WARNING: Re government's establishment of First Nations Assembly at Native Title Conference ...
There are warning bells ringing across the continent regarding this week's proposed Assembly of First Nations establishment meeting in Port Douglas at the National Native Title conference hosted by the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS).  
Participants to the exclusive meeting to establish an Assembly of First Nations were invited by the Australian Human Rights Commission, under the auspices of the AIATSIS National Native Title Conference Agenda (link is external) as late as 3 June 2015. It appears to be a very subtle way of diverting attention away from the real sovereignty of our Peoples. This way, if sovereignty is not part of the underpinning factors, then it is just another treacherous act on the part of the organisers to scramble the Sovereignty Movement with more promises. ... "

About Sovereign Union and our Organisational Structure
http://www.sovereignunion.mobi/content/about-sovereign-union-and-our-org...
"The Sovereign Union was first formed at a meeting on 12-14 June 1999 on Mt Kaputar, near Narrabri, NSW. A delegation was sent to Geneva to the UN Working Group of the Commission on Human Rights to take our sovereign voices to the international community. The Sovereign Union was further formalised with a Foundation Meeting of the 'Sovereign Union – interim Unity Government' at the Kuradji Tent Embassy, near Wollongong, New South Wales on May 25 2012. As First Nations Peoples it is now imperative that we unite and rebuild as sovereign independent nations, in order to assert our sovereign title and rights throughout Australia. This will be a major political and legal fight, but it is our future for not just us, but for our children and our grandchildren. ... "
