At airports passengers are greeted by banners with pictures of smiling Aboriginal faces in hard hats, promoting the plunderers of their land. "This is our story," says the slogan. It isn't.

Barely a fraction of mining, oil and gas revenue has benefited Aboriginal communities, whose poverty is an enduring shock. In Roebourne, in the mineral-rich Pilbara, 80% of the children suffer from an ear infection called otitis media, which can cause partial deafness. Or they go blind from preventable trachoma. Or they die from Dickensian infections. That is their story ... John Pilger writes in UK's 'The Guardian'

Nightly sleep terrors, agoraphobia, severe anxiety (resulting in breakdown of personal relationships, my ability to participate in gainful employment etc) together with physical/emotional pain from injuries incurred, the absence of any legal resolution, acknowledgement, restitution or change, continue to ensure that I have NO respite as a result of this gross violation of my basic human rights and therefore find myself trapped in a cycle of poverty/homelessness and "severe mental anguish"(!)

Any innocent Victorian citizen could fall victim to a living nightmare like mine.

On the 30th March 2013, Murrawarri people from the Culgoa River region of northern New South Wales declared their Sovereignty of their lands under the name of the Murrawarri Republic.

In a formal declaration the peoples of the Murrawarri Republic attested that they have never ceded their Sovereignty, Dominion or Ultimate Title over their ancient homeland nor did they give permission for the colonisers to enter their ancient land and for their mother earth to be violated through progressive illegal acts, practices or policies of the British Crown, Former British Colonies, The state of New South Wales and Queensland or the Australian Federal governments.

The discovery of a memoir by Steele Rudd's father sheds light on the murderous collision between settlers and Aborigines on the Darling Downs

Euopean settlement in Australia was bloody brutal. The idea that on small or imagined provocation you had to kill Aborigines indiscriminately was tacitly acknowledged throughout the immigrant rural communities: "how else could the land be made safe for settlers and their families?"

Here is a book review that reveals a few historical records of southern Queensland's frontier wars. An uncomfortable silence still hangs over the most controversial issue in Australian colonial history.

The three warriors from the Brisbane Aboriginal Sovereign Embassy, arrested last December for defending the sacred fire were found not guilty today in the Brisbane Magistrates Court.

Police offered no evidence against Wayne Wharton, Boe Skuthorpe-Spearim and Hamish Chitts. This was in stark contrast to the period since their arrest where police first imposed draconian bail conditions which prevented the three from participating in cultural and religious ceremony and then wasted court time and tax payer money trying to keep the bail conditions in place. Eventually after three court appearances the bail conditions were dropped.

A Public Notice is issued to the Members of the Parliament of Canada, the Canadian judiciary, the governmental civil service, and the active serving members of all Canadian police and military forces, as well as to all citizens of Canada:

Gary Foley speaks of the period between 1983 and 1996 when the Hawke-Keating Labor government killed off the move for national land rights

He said in a 'Tracker' article that one of the greatest acts of political bastardry in Australian history, Bob Hawke personally removed land rights from the national political agenda in 1984.

It remains one of the greatest acts of political bastardry in Australian history and he did it at the behest of, arguably, the most corrupt politician in recent Australian history.

On February 7 the Australian Senate will vote on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples Recognition Bill 2012 despite overwhelming opposition to constitutional inclusion by the majority of Aboriginal people and the government's own acknowledgement that the proposed changes to the constitution would be rejected by a referendum.

“This shows the paternalistic contempt that the Federal Government and politicians have for Aboriginal people has not changed in 112 years,” said Kooma man, Wayne Wharton, of the Brisbane Aboriginal Sovereign Embassy.

On Thursday 31st January 2013 a Labor Member made a public announcement stating:

"Attention: The Parliament will vote on the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples Recognition Bill 2012 on Wednesday 13 February. If you are able to attend it would be great to have as many people there as possible. Please also forward this on to your networks."

The Government who dropped plans of a Referendum because Jenny Macklin thought that Australians 'couldn't be trusted to make the right decision' has decided to run with a 'Dictatorship' amendment rather than a 'Democratic' procedure.
