Fresh Push For Treaty Emerges From Shadow Of Recognise Campaign

The refusal of the racist  Lib-Labs (Liberal-Laborals, Coalition and Labor Right) to make a Treaty with surviving Indigenous Australian Indigenous Peoples  illustrates the profound  lack of Respect and Empathy by the genocidally racist  Lib-Labs  for Indigenous Peoples that lies at the heart of the ongoing Aboriginal Genocide and Aboriginal Ethnocide.

It is important  to summarize the main features of the ongoing Australian  Aboriginal Genocide and Aboriginal Ethnocide. Before the British Invasion in 1788, Indigenous Australians had  been living in Australia for about 60,000 years. There were 350-750 different tribes and a similar number of languages and dialects, of which only 150 survive today and of these all but about 20 are endangered.  After the brutish British Invasion, the Aboriginal population dropped from about 1 million in 1788 to about 0.1 million in the first century through introduced  disease, deprivation and genocidal violence. The last massacres of Aborigines occurred in the 1920s but no Treaty has ever been signed. Indigenous Australians were only counted  after a referendum in 1967 and were finally given some protection by the 1975 Racial Discrimination Act but this protection was removed for NT Aboriginals  by the  racist Lib-Lab NT Intervention.

In the 20th century up to 1 in 10 Aboriginal children were forcibly removed from their mothers, the so-called Stolen Generations, but despite the “Sorry” by Labor PM Kevin Rudd this is continuing  at record levels . In 2000 about 9,000 Aborigines out of an Aboriginal  population of 500,000 died avoidably  every year (1.8% pa as compared to an avoidable death rate of 2.5% pa  for Australian sheep, 1.0% pa for sub-Saharan Africa,  0.4% pa for South Asia and 0% pa for Cuba) but this had declined to about 2,000 annual avoidable deaths out of a population about 670,000 (0.3% pa) by 2011. Indigenous Australians are far worse off than White Australians in relation to housing, health, wealth, social conditions, imprisonment, avoidable death and life expectancy (see “Aboriginal Genocide” : https://sites.google.com/site/aboriginalgenocide/ ; Gideon Polya, “ Ongoing Aboriginal Genocide And Aboriginal Ethnocide By Politically Correct Racist Apartheid Australia ”, Countercurrents, 16 February 2014: http://www.countercurrents.org/polya160214.htm  ;  and Gideon Polya, “ Film Review: “Utopia” by John Pilger exposes genocidal maltreatment of Indigenous Australians by Apartheid Australia”,  Countercurrents, 14 March, 2014: http://www.countercurrents.org/polya140314.htm ).

The ongoing Aboriginal Genocide is one of 30 genocides with which White Australia has been associated and indeed in some cases continues  be associated with (see Gideon Polya, “Review: The Cambridge History  of Australia ignores Australian involvement  in 30 genocides”, Countercurrents, 14 March 2014: http://www.countercurrents.org/polya140314.htm ). Indeed the Lib-Labs are the strongest supporters after the Zionist-perverted and Zionist-subverted US for democracy-by-genocide neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel and its ongoing genocide of Indigenous Palestinians. However the Indigenous Palestinians  have now secured UN recognition of the State of Palestine  (the racist Coalition opposed this, and the cowardly  racist Labor Government abstained at the UN vote) and Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against neo-Nazi Apartheid Israel are growing worldwide.

Indigenous Australians should realize that they will get no joy from the deeply, pathologically, violently, and genocidally  racist Lib-Labs and,  following the example of the Indigenous Palestinians,  should (a) seek international and UN recognition for Statehood of the First Nations of Australia  and (b) urge national and international  Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against the genocidally racist Lib-Labs and  their genocidally racist supporters.

I like the idea of a treaty (or treaties) between contemporary Aboriginal Australians and the Government of Australia on behalf of the entire community.

I would appreciate more information about how Aborigional people, such as the author, believe this could be achieved, because that isn't clear to me at present.

Is there a document or video which explains this more fully?

Thank you all for ur thoughts & reflections/history & failed govt policies - Hawke did his best with OUR request for a treaty - power politics got in the way - Keating did what he knew would be more palatable to the dominant population ( & I was there when his Minister came to the NAC & TOLD told the elected Aboriginal leaders leaders the next Aboriginal policy would be Reconciliation & they told him to shove it because we didn't need reconciliation the the 'whites' did but we'd listen - the decade of Reconcilation impacted so dodo much change towards us in the mainstream culture -  it was a good policy for the time & a visionary one which which did produce change & more deep respect for for us as a peoples - it doesn't work now because because it's optional - we have always called for Sovereignty but legally it's difficult ( but not impossible) so this majority voice is ignored in favour favour of a Treaty which 200+ yrs later is legally useless as it can be ignored in practice by a govt. The only path path which would lay the fight to rest is the recognition of sovereignty as that is the root cause of the tension & dissent - the currentConstitutional debate referendum idea idea is a smokescreen ( albeit removing racist clauses is useful) ...... People read ask us , listen & share & we can all debate it as a country can't we.... & come to some decisions about the future together for all our benefits - adversarial actions is not part of our Law .... We would rather we would rather do it together....it's OUR country now - it's not us & u mob......anymore is it? Tj
