Aboriginal people need a Sovereign Treaty not an Act of Recognition
Michael Anderson, 14 Feb 13, Sovereign Union serves the Crown with formal objection to the Act of Recognition
Aboriginal Sovereign Union diplomat Graham Merritt, speaking today from Parliament House Canberra said:
“Today is an historic moment, when on behalf of the Sovereign Union I am serving the Crown via the Governor
General Quentin Bryce and the Commonwealth Government of Australia with our formal objection to the Act of
Recognition. “
“This Act of Recognition is a sleight of hand, as the Crown and Government continue to bypass proper recognition of our continuing Sovereignty. The Commonwealth Government is using the reform process to attempt to bring Sovereign Aboriginal Nations and Peoples into the Constitution of a foreign illegal occupying force.”
“Now that the Crown and Commonwealth Government have the Sovereign Union’s written objections they cannot claim ignorance of the significance of our Sovereign position, nor do they have the free, prior and informed consent of Aboriginal Nations and Peoples to usurp our sovereignty.”
“Even more insulting to me as a member of the Stolen Generations is that the Federal Government is doing this on the fifth anniversary of the Apology. Since the Apology the Commonwealth Government has further stripped back our human rights. Now they want to use the Act of Recognition to achieve the legislative equivalent of Constitutional Reform, usurping our Sovereignty in a way that attempts to undermine our inalienable connection to country and our true ownership of the Land and Waterways that are so significant to us: the rocks, the hills, the rivers that will always be a part of our culture and traditions.
Sovereignty is the most important issue today in this country they now call Australia. The Gillard Government may be educated but we as an Aboriginal Sovereign peoples are smarter and are here to stay. Our proposed solution is the negotiation of Sovereign Treaties, or other instruments under international supervision such as a Peace Accord.
Timing: Presenting to Senator Rachel Siewert at 2pm, Parliament House, Canberra. Meet in Parliament House foyer at 1.45pm followed by a presentation to the Governor-General at Government House, Yarralumla

Thanks for posting this Christina! I saw a photo of apparently Tony Abbott asleep at a parliamentary committee meeting with aboriginal elders. I googled for news and couldnt find any good hits except for your site. As happy as I am you have posted this, it makes me very ashamed of the Australian media.
