We the undersigned are descendants of the sovereign tribes of Australia and supporters of the First Nations Tribes of Australia, hereby exercise our political rights according to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights adopted and opened for signature, ratification and accession by the General Assembly resolution (XXXI) of 16 December 1966 entry into force 23 March 1976, in accordance with Article 49.

Which states as follows;

3. Each State Party to the present Covenant undertakes: 

(a) To ensure that any person whose rights or freedoms as herein recognized are violated shall have an effective remedy, notwithstanding that the violation has been committed by persons acting in an official capacity; 

Article 3

The States Parties to the present Covenant undertake to ensure the equal right of men and women to the enjoyment of all civil and political rights set forth in the present Covenant.

In this petition in consideration of our rights by the Resolution adopted by the General Assembly on 13 September 2007 [without reference to a Main Committee (A/61/L.67 and Add.1)] 61/295. United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

State our cause to protest of our mistreatment as sovereign persons of the country of Australia. We believe our rights have been violated according to articles 1 to 11 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and it is our will that the States, Territories and Federal Governments of Australia justify why this is so.

Therefore, as free sovereign tribes of Australia by our God given rights, hereby question all forms of Government in Australia to justify the creation of the Native Title Act 1993 and other legislation which discriminates, oppressors and suppressors the sovereign tribes of Australia.

It is our will that the States, Territories and the Australian Government, justify their jurisdiction to enforce such Acts towards us as sovereign individuals that never ceded our sovereignty by way of submission or conquest since colonisation of Australia.

It is our will that the Australian Government of today provide documented evidence in which the sovereign tribes of Australia have ceded their sovereignty by way of submission or conquest to a foreign government, namely the British Monarchy.

It is our God given Right to question the Australian Federal Government, or the COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA as recorded in the UNITED STATES SECURITIES and EXCHANGE COMMISSION. BUSINESS ADDRESS, 1601 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE, NW. CENTRAL INDEX KEY (CIK) # 0000805157, C/O AUSTRALIAN EMBASSY, WASHINGTON DC, 20036.

Therefore, it is our will that the Australian Government or the COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA, justify, why our fathers, mothers and grandparents were not consulted nor provided free, prior informed consent to have our Tribal Lands (country) to be registered as a corporation mentioned above and why today’s generation are unaware that this corporate entity exists.

It is also our will that the Australian Government confirm that the Corporation as registered above is a valid government entity representing the Commonwealth of 1900.

It is our will that the Government of today clarify which is the correct Government of Australia, whether it be COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA or Commonwealth of Australia or AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT or Federal Government of Australia or Australian Government, which is the correct Government title of Australia?

It is our will that the Government of today clarify the Great Seal of the Commonwealth, whether it be the Great Seal as identified above the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution 1900 (Lion and Unicorn) or the Seal of the Australian Government (Kangaroo and Emu)? It is our will that the Government of Australia declare which is the correct Great Seal

Example; In the Torres Straits in the 1900’s, our forefathers and mothers were paid 10 shillings per month wages and boiled lollies. This was during the boom period of the pearl shells, beach de mer, trochus shell, prawns and other seafood harvest estimated in hundreds of tonnes of marine product, confiscated by the Aboriginal Protector. The Pearl Shell Industry began in 1869 until early 1970’s.

Some of our grandparents and fathers did not receive any wages at all but were given boiled lollies to take home to their families.

We have documented catch records in which at today's inflation rate would be estimated in the billions to trillions of dollars. It is our will that the government of today address the theft of our forefathers and mother’s livelihood confiscated by the Aboriginal Protector at that time.

It is our will that the mineral wealth of our land and sea be restored forthwith by compensation remedy as it our God given inheritance since time immemorial. This includes all petroleum and other resources on land and under the seabed which belongs to us, by birthright as sovereign tribes of the Commonwealth.

It is our will that a Royal Commission be called due to the mismanagement of Administration Affairs throughout the Torres Straits and Northern Peninsula Area.

It is our will that the Registered Native Title Body Corporate’s (RNTBC) (Aboriginal Land Councils) and Prescribed Body Corporates be dissolved.

It is our will that the Native Title Act 1993 be repealed as it discriminates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders of the Commonwealth.

It is our will that the Torres Strait Islands and the Northern Peninsula Area be declared a Sovereign State/Territory in Association within the realm of the Commonwealth. 

Finally, we remind the States, Territories and Federal governments to respect our rights to protest due to injustices endured since colonisation. Therefore, according to the Magna Carta of King John of England dated 15th day of June 1215. It is our will that we call on States, Territories and the Australian Government to address the injustice of sovereign tribes of Australia.

Magna Carta or Greater Charter is as follows;

Under Article 61 of the Magna Carta of 1215 (The founding document of the Australian Constitution) We have a right to enter into lawful rebellion if we feel we are being governed unjustly. Contrary to common belief our Sovereign and Her Government are only there to govern us and not to rule us and this must be done within constraint of our common law, nothing can become law in this country if it falls outside of this simple constraint.

To all governments of today, Article 61 shows quite clearly who really holds power in this country, that being quite simply us the people. We are sovereign individuals of First Nation Clans of Australia and therefore it is our will that the government must justify their dominion over us.

We have Sovereignty not any parliament and nor can this be taken away from us by any parliament, who claim to have taken the people’s Sovereignty.

A hard copy of the petition will be made available to Elders and others who do not have access to the internet.

We endeavour to run this petition until such time we reach 300,000 signatures, which will be forwarded to all States, Territories and the Australian Government. Our interim goal is to register 100,000 signatures which will be forwarded to all governments of Australia.

I encourage other First Nations Tribes internationally to join in our fight for justice against the States, Territories and Australian Government or whichever title is correct that represents the Administration of Australia.

Please note, your participation in this petition with your signature will be made available to the Premiers of the States and Chief Ministers of Territories of Australia and the Honourable Scott Morrison MP, Prime Minister of Australia.

This petition will also be made available to other First Nations Tribes/Clans around Australia in their endeavours for justice (sovereignty claims).

Please tick YES to support the issues raised above and the immediate Abolition of Prescribed Body Corporations (PBC’s) and the Native Title Act 1993.

Must appreciated.

Yours Sincerely
