Aboriginal Provisional Government: APG to meet in Adelaide
Venue: Bethany Conference Centre
"If we want a treaty, or recognition of our right to
self-determination, or constitutional recognition, we need
to kick-start a campaign to achieve our goals. The first
step is to get a national meeting. Adelaide is a start.
We need to discuss what it is we seek, and how we are
going to get it. If it is a treaty, what needs to be in
the treaty? Could we get the same from being the seventh
State of Australia? Is domestic sovereignty a sell-out?
What steps do we need to take to gain independence and
the right to secession from the Australian state? Would
constitutional change set the principles we need, or is
it just a distraction?"
"All Aboriginal people are welcome. We hope to see you there"
Michael Mansell
Secretary of the Aboriginal Provisional Government (APG)

"When you look at the events which are significant to
Aboriginal people you’ll notice that their recent history
