Nowhere else in the world would anyone accept what is going on in Australia in respect to this 'Expert' Panel's recommendations.

This report is an absolute farce and treacherous, because it is done for the purpose of suggesting to the international community that democracy played its part through a process of consultation, but this recent process is absolutely flawed and, instead, represents a dictatorial approach to forcing against our will Aboriginal Peoples' patrimony to an invader society.

Mainstream Australians should not close their eyes and turn their backs on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, in order to secure their comforts and security at our expense.

Kado Muir writes: This month we celebrate twenty years since the Mabo decision overturned the legal fiction of terra nullius ...

We as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are forgetting two important things. One; Mr Mabo did not accept the rules, he used the laws to bend the rules beyond recognition, and two; Mabo decided everything for us.

We do not need to prove anything, we already hold our Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander title to our land based on our laws, traditions and customs. Everything else is just a distraction.

British crimes against humanity are so vast and numerous it is itself a task to plot the career starting point of this most criminal of nations.

The British murder body count runs into hundreds of millions worldwide but here we present just the Australian segment relating to the Original inhabitants.

This document is part of a comprehensive attempt - Researched by the 'Britain: Worlds worst mass murderer' blog. The evidence is based on documented historical estimates.

Michael Anderson writes: While the 1992 Mabo judgement was a major milestone in Aboriginal history, we must remember that the judges in this case presented the same cowardice as Justice Blackburn in the Millirrpum Gove case in the 1970s.

In the Gove case, the court gave much weight to the evidence presented by anthropologist Ronald Berndt who coined the phrase, "the Aborigines don't own the land, the land owns them" or words to that effect, thus resigning our people to forever being part of the natural flora and fauna of this country. It must also be stated that the Gove matter was not presented with the 1872 Pacific islanders Protection Act as amended in 1875.

"In Aboriginal affairs policy, the more things change, the more they stay the same," writes Walter Shaw, CEO of Tangentyere Council.

"Today, our families shop for basic essentials on a card that is a remnant of a dog tag from a long-forgotten era. The BasicsCard – which quarantines half of an Aboriginal person's welfare entitlement to ensure it is spent on food and clothing - is the Federal Government's 'solution' for Aboriginal poverty and dysfunction.

To disempower us further. To underscore our difference from other Territorians. To rub our nose in it. And to put us in our place."

The claim to continuous sovereignty is supported by cases, documents and doctrines. One aspect of the claim is the Pacific Islanders' Protection Act 1872 and 1875 and the impact of the Doctrine of Discovery on international Indigenous sovereignty, matters of discussion at the Eleventh Session of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.

In May this year, the Legal Intersections Research Centre at the University of Wollongong and the School of Law and Justice of Southern Cross University held a workshop to explore the legal and political implications of Australian Aboriginal Sovereignty claims.

Global justice campaigner and WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange has contributed his life to standing up for the oppressed and in challenging the world's most powerful governments and clandestine institutions.

Mr Assange was born in Townsville, Queensland however he readily acknowledges a diverse heritage which he proudly said includes a Torres Strait Islander great-great-grandparent. In his blood and genes is that of a Thursday Islander, his great-great-grandmother.

Goomeroi Sovereign Embassy

Gomeroi tribal people in the Moree area have been advised by their clans to stop paying rent for houses they live in as part of an assertion of sovereignty.

They have also slammed the NSW Aboriginal Land Council for "contemptuously" and "tyrannically" doing lease deals with state and commonwealth governments.

Statement: "Gomeroi ancestral owners of the Moree region have asserted ancient sovereign title over the Gomeroi owned lands within and around the Moree town's precinct, effective as of today."

Anthony Martin Fernando was one of the first Aboriginal political activists yet he lived more than half his life overseas.

He is believed to have led a solitary life but had an extraordinary political career.

On his sometimes wandering journey, he left evidence - bits and pieces of an activist life that we're only now putting together. Fernando told anyone who cared to listen that his people were being exterminated, that the toy skeletons he sold on the streets of London were all that Australia had left of his people.

The welcome to country and smoking ceremony at the foundation meeting of the Interim National Unity Government was officiated by Roy "Dootch Kennedy" at Kuradji (Sandon Point Tent Embassy) on May 24th 2012.

At this foundation gathering, some representatives said they believe that the National Unity Government of the Sovereign Union is the last stand for First Nations people to have any chance of asserting their rightful sovereignty.

The Interim National Unity Government website has compiled an outline of the opening of this historic gathering with some images and audio files.
