Written Notice Served to Queen on Matters of Genocide, Sovereignty and Treaty - 16th March 2006
by black gst supporter	2006-03-16 11:12 PM +0800
Written Notice Served to Queen on Matters of Genocide, Sovereignty and Treaty 16th March 2006 Final written warning was today delivered to Queen Elizabeth the Second to address the fundamental issues of Genocide, Sovereignty and Treaty within 28 days or legal action would be carried out in the International Criminal Court of Justice.
Robbie Thorpe delivered the notice in person to Government House in Melbourne where the Queen is currently residing. "I have exhausted all other legal avenues in this country to get these fundamental legal issues resolved. Despite victory in the Federal Court of Australia to force the Australian Government to pass legislation to make genocide a crime in Australia, these issues are still not being addressed. "Queen Elizabeth II is the sovereign ruler of this nation and she is ultimately responsible for the running of this country. Unless she instructs the initiation of legal redress within the next 28 days, I will be taking this case further to the International Criminal Court. "Our people never ceded Sovereignty over these lands; we have never given consent for what is effectively an undeclared war on our lands and against our people. We must have custodial rights over our sacred sites and the recognition of our traditional ceremony and practice entrenched in law. "Unless The Queen instructs to make progress on these fundamental legal issues, she will be facing the prospect of an International Criminal Court summons."

Acknowledged the lighting of the Sacred Fire on its journey from the Aboriginal Tent Embassy to the Stolenwealth Games site to be held on Wurenjeri and Boonerwung Nations. We of the Yorta Yorta Nation demand the end of genocide of our peoples and our lands and waters. We demand a treaty be signed between the British Sovereign of the Commonwealth with Indigenous Nations of Australia. WE ARE ONE MOB, WITH ONE VOICE, HEADING IN ONE DIRECTION ---- CAMP SOVEREIGNTY - Camp Site Established, 13th March 2006 The Stolenwealth Games Convergence in support of the Black GST established camp today in Kings Domain, Melbourne. Approximately 400 people gathered in ceremony as the Sacred Fire from the Tent Embassy in Canberra was placed on country. The Sacred Fire has been established in Melbourne after a journey through Yorta Yorta lands including a ceremony in the Bharma Forest with members of the Wiradjeri, Wamba Wamba, Barapa Barapa, Gunnai/Kurnai and Yorta Yorta Nations to bring the fire across the Dhungala (Murray) River. A statement was signed by all represented Nations in support of ending genocide of peoples, lands and waters and demanding a treaty negotiation process to be entered into with the Crown. Indigenous people and Supporters attended and supported the establishment of the fire and participated in a ceremony of respect for the fire. Thanks were offered to the Bunerong people, the owners of the land, for permission to camp there. Wood donated by the Yorta Yorta and Barapabarapa peoples was also added to the fire. Two Police Officers and the Park Ranger present participated in the fire ceremony, to the cheers of the crowd. The Black GST thanks the Police, the Fire Service and the Park Rangers for their cooperation to ensure this is a peaceful event. The campsite will be in place until the 26th of March. Link here
Only God is Sacred
by john	2006-03-18 6:25 PM +0800
Fire sacred ? That is just a tradition and myth. If we look apon creation eg fire, steam, nuclear power etc as sacred then I believe we have missed the point! I respect your right to observe your traditions if you must and I whole heartedly agree with your statements on the invasion and theft of lands but if these things are eventually reconciled, I hope you are not going to enforce your 'sacred fire'onto others ? Oh Yes, Jesus is Lord and He is a consuming Fire Link here
As the Bible is tradition and myth

Jesus may be sacred to some. As the earth sprit is sacred to others. Respect. Link here
WE ARE ONE MOB, WITH ONE VOICE, HEADING IN ONE DIRECTION
by Travis	2006-03-19 3:07 PM +0800
No we are not. The Yorta Yorta don't speak for me. I have my own voice and tell me again who chose the direction? Link here
Hi Travis - Respect to you!
by David C	2006-03-19 3:12 PM +0800
To answer your question: The Yorta Yorta mob chose the direction for the Yorta Yorta mob. Perhaps you aren't in one of the Wiradjeri, Wamba Wamba, Barapa Barapa, Gunnai/Kurnai and Yorta Yorta Nations, in the Barmah Forest... Seeya Link here
David C explain to me who speaks on behalf of you?
by Travis	2006-03-19 3:19 PM +0800
Does John Howard speak on your behalf. The Australian Government are your mob? Or are your neighbours your mob? Your cousins and uncles your mob? What say did you have in letting them choose your direction? Link here
Answers for Travis
by David C	2006-03-19 3:28 PM +0800
Gday again mate. Just to clarify. The Yorta Yorta made a statment for their mob. If you're not in the mob, then i'd suggest that they don't speak for you do they? Now, some specific answers to your questions: 1. No. Not on my behalf. But on behalf of the Australian people. As he was elected to do so. 2. It depends on your specific meaning of the word "mob". But in a way yes. Because I am a citizen of Australia, I suppose the government is "my mob". 3. My neighbours are unrelated by blood or family. My next door neighbours here in suburban Perth that is. They're not part of my family per say. But all humanity is linked in some way or other don't you think? so once again, yeah I guess they are my mob. 4. If I was part of the Yorta Yorta mob - especially if it was in my best interests. I'm not really sure where your'e going with your confusing remarks, but thanks for your support. Seeya Dave Link here
Then John Howard and the government represent the Yorta Yorta people
by Trolling for peace	2006-03-19 4:01 PM +0800
Adult Yorta Yorta people can vote, they are Australian's. And you said the Howard government represents Australian's. Sorted. Link here
Yay!
by Dave	2006-03-19 5:40 PM +0800
Thanks again for your support on this one. You're right that the Howard government is representing us but much work needs to be done outside of the government spectrum. Mr Howard has a lot to answer for. Thanks for your kindness. Peace and sovereignty for Indigenous Aussies. Love Dave Link here
