10 Apr 15: "Given that sovereignty and what it stands for will be the flavour of the decade, it is only proper for me to retrace a timeline for our people to see how the issue of sovereignty has evolved to this day.
We can say that Aboriginal people throwing spears at the first white man was an act of sovereign Peoples in defense of their lands, territories and dominions. If we are to examine the political legal action by the people and their spear throwing, it was a military exercise authorised by their law and customs which, in total, represented an Act of State on behalf of the People. They were exercising their sovereign right to defend what was theirs.
The mass destruction of our people through the foreign diseases imported to this land by the illegal British boat people was tantamount to germ warfare. The fact that the invaders were massacring hundreds and thousands of people with impunity, through private militia groups and the British Redcoats, was one of the earliest forms of genocide that equated with any of the British crusades of the earlier centuries. ... " Ghillar, Michael Anderson, Convenor of the Sovereign Union, Head of State of the Euahlayi Republic and co-founder of the 1972 Aboriginal Embassy

Global Freedom Movement Media: Land Grab In The Outback:
Australia Unites Against Genocide of First Peoples with Gerry Georgatos and Elders
http://globalfreedommovement.org/land-grab-in-the-outback-australia-unit...
4 Apr 15: "Right now we are in the midst of a battle to prevent the final corporate takeover of the traditional homelands of the landmass commonly known as "Australia" by hostile foreign powers of the NWO (a.k.a. the “Australian Government”). It is a thinly veiled process of displacement, "assimilation," and ultimately genocide which has outraged great swathes of not only the Australian population, but even significant activist groups abroad. ... Joining Gerry Georgatos will be Bella and Herbert Bropho, other elders and young people, to share their stories live from Matargarup."

CPA - Communist Party of Australia - Campaigns: 13 Points on Land Rights for Aboriginal People
http://www.cpa.org.au/indigenous/13-points-on-land-rights.html
"1. For at least 40,000 years Aboriginal people lived on this continent, owning, caring for and being sustained by the land. With their deep knowledge of nature and respect for the environment in which they lived, they developed a successful economy and a rich spiritual and cultural life.
2. In 1788 the British invaded this land and used military force to begin the land grab which continues to this day. The Aboriginal people fought back to protect their lands. Aboriginal people suffered murder on a huge scale, death through new diseases and poverty, and the destruction of much of Aboriginal traditional society. ... "
