First Nations leaders call for federal treaty and truth-telling to follow Victoria's lead 8-)

Is there some kind of war going on that we don't know about?

Be interesting to know how many of the over 250 distinct Aboriginal tribes would be invited to sign.
I would imagine that some authenticity of Aboriginally would need to be established before any legal documents were signed.

How does a Country go about signing a Treaty that is binding when the party of the second part has no Government, no political system, no official language, no common system of law etc., etc.

What truth has not been told about/by Aborigines already?  What is this 'truth-telling' that is supposely still missing? ?

You can't take a step without stubbing your toe on some Aboriginal truth. For the first time in decades I want to Canberra and avoided the National Gallery of Austrlia because it has wall to wall Aboriginal truth and no art.

That says it all ... another pretend Aboriginal.

Big part of the Voice BS.

The referendum said no by 64% of all Australians.

Slimy grafting pieces of shyte.

Why aren't she & her mates helping all this Aboriginal Corps & Orgs that are currnetly before the courts for financial mismanagement, misappropriation of govt funds in their trusts & general business management misconduct?

That would be work. Thankless work.

Being an Abo in redidence with the ABC and spouting crap is easy and lucrative and you don't have to engage with the violent wife beaters in fly-blown shitholes. You just flounce around, with a queeenie huff, pouting disapprovingly to nice, hand-wringing Anglos in air conditioned, catered comforts, with staff.


It is an ancient Dreamtime practice.

No, professional activists are calling for a treaty to further entrench their ride on the taxpayer funded gravy train. The people have already resoundingly rejected this.  ::)

Indeed.

Activists, moreover, who have more Anglo blood in them than half the population.

Pascoe the ABo, Huggins, Pearson, Lividia Thorpe, and all the prominent ABo activists have more Anglo blood in them than I do.

Hey, you left out the Scots and the Irish.

....... the Successive Waves of First Colonisers demand such a thing.  But we don't want it ...

The vote was NO. End of. There was no war so no treaty.

Which is just another way of saying we want more money, more of everything for nothing.

Aborigines are very lucky they were not discovered by the Maori.

Yes. What war❓
79% chucked a sickie and never showed up.
If there was any confrontation, it wasn't with the British - their guns were pointed at the Convicts and it wasn't with the Convicts - they were chained up.
So it had to be with the Free Settler Colonials with the American right to own a gun and the Freedom to do what they wanted like they did in America.
The irony is this same Americanised Colonialism is what the Australian Media is about with celebrity Republicanism movements. The Abos are marching in tune with the very thing that turkey shot them.

Here are some truths:

Historical reversion: British settlement commenced in 1788, but it did not extend to the outer reaches of the Northern Territory for almost a century. Large areas remained beyond sustained colonial administration until the late nineteenth century, and some until the twentieth. Wadeye itself did not exist until 1935, when the Port Keats Catholic Mission was established.

Prior to that period, the continent, including what is now the Northern Territory was characterised by persistent inter-group violence. Violence was often severe, but its scale was constrained by geography, mobility, population density, and logistics rather than by enforceable restraint.

The imposition of colonial law introduced authority at scale. Frontier violence, though real and frequently tragic, was progressively suppressed. Retaliation gave way to adjudication. Order replaced feud. Populations stabilised and, over time, grew.

Wadeye demonstrates what occurs when that process is reversed. Under self-determination and exclusive land control, approximately 2,000 people are now concentrated at densities unknown to pre-contact desert life, yet without effective internal enforcement or consistent external authority. The result is not cultural continuity but the re-emergence of violence at scale: hundreds mobilised in armed clan conflict, a phenomenon inconceivable under ancestral nomadism and, more importantly, inconceivable anywhere else in modern Australia.

This is not a failure of funding, remoteness, or neglect. It is the predictable outcome of a system that withholds enforceable authority in deference to an ideology no longer capable of governing human behaviour in a modern setting. The state that once imposed order now withdraws it for fear of political and racialised criticism. The mass violence that periodically erupts is only the most visible expression of a deeper collapse, alongside entrenched domestic violence, chronic child sexual abuse, and the breakdown of basic social restraint.

Any serious response must therefore abandon symbolism and restore what alone has ever worked: uniform law, enforceable authority, and protection applied without exemption.

No Australian electorate has ever consented to the permanent transformation of remote Aboriginal settlements into zones of racialised governance, economic dependency, and legal exception. Native title and self-determination in their present form were never put to the public as a system of indefinite segregation, perpetual funding and deteriorating outcomes. After fifty years of demonstrable failure, any other comparable system: corporate, governmental, or humanitarian, would have seen its architects dismissed, its assumptions abandoned, and its structure fundamentally redesigned. That this has not occurred here is not evidence of success or complexity. It is evidence of ideological entrenchment and systemic, long term government failure. The model persists not because it works, but because it has been placed beyond democratic and political correction. It will not be reformed. It will simply endure, notwithstanding the human cost.

Aborigines, when given 'self-determination', fail.

Why would anyone have a treaty with a bunch of self-serving ratbags who cannot control, let alone protect their own people and make them flourish.  Abos, get your own house in order.
