Makarrata Demands as Proposed by the National Aboriginal Conference By Brian Simpson
The Aboriginal treaty agenda is not new, and was discussed by the Commonwealth Parliament back in 1983, and enthusiastically endorsed:
THE PARLIAMENT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA TWO HUNDRED YEARS LATER ... Report by the Senate Standing Committee on Constitutional and Legal Affairs on the Feasibility of a Compact or 'Makarrata! between the Commonwealth and Aboriginal People:
We need to examine Appendix 3 of this document to see what the Voice Makarrata elites may want, and would get, in a Voice world:
“N.B. The items listed below are as contained in telexes to
the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs dated 29 September
1981 and 1 October 1981.
Land to be acquired by the Commonwealth for and on
behalf of Aboriginal people and that all such land be vested in
freehold title to the Aboriginal people and that such land be
given in perpetuity and shall not be subject to mortgage and/or
sale outside the Aboriginal community and/or communities.
The development of self-government in each respective
tribal territory to take due respect for the culture of the
Aborigines and to ensure their political, economic, social and
educational advancement, and by virtue of this, that they have
the right to freely determine their political status and freely
pursue their economic social and cultural development.
The establishment of a national Aboriginal bank with
branches in each state of the Commonwealth.
The payment of 5% of the gross national product per
annum for a period of 195 years to come into effect upon the
date of this section being given assent and/or upon the signing
of the agreement.
The return of all national parks and forests to the
Aboriginal communities whose territorial jurisdiction prevails.
The return of all artefacts, artworks and items located
by archaeological diggings from museums and other art centres.
The rights to hunting, fishing and gathering on all
lands and waterways under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth
of Australia.
The rights over all minerals and other resources that
may exist on all lands given in perpetuity to Aboriginal people
and/or communities and that these rights which include all
minerals from the earth's surface to the centre of the earth,
and that we reserve the rights to all the air space from the
earth's surface to the outer perimeters of the earth's
atmosphere.
9 . The recognition of Aboriginal customary law in those
territories which deem it necessary.
The establishment of Aboriginal schools, that is
pre-schools, infants, primary, secondary and colleges within
those Aboriginal territories which deem it necessary.
Freehold title and full ownership of all houses
currently occupied by Aboriginal people throughout Australia and
that such title to be given in perpetuity.”
Some of the above items have already been achieved, but these, and many others will come up in the Voice/Makarrata Truth Inquisition of white Australia, and be sure, in such a world, white mice politicians will grant it, otherwise the magic racism laser beam might be used.
