One Continent, Two Systems
The truth is that in Australia we have one continent, two systems. The first belongs to the First Nations Peoples since the beginning of time. The other man-made rule of law is a foreign system being imposed on us. Our system is a collective system different from the so-called democracy.
It is a disciplined way of life and there are boundaries within the system. It embraces spirituality, our health, our education, our well-being. Everyone knows the boundaries within the system, but where it has come undone is where we have been forced to assimilate into a capitalist class-structured divisive system.
Capitalism and Aboriginal Law
For thousands of years our system has flourished without money, but because of what has been done to us, we now have to survive in a material world, as well as a spiritual world, and we demand that this capitalist system compensates us before they can ever ask us to reconcile. We have nothing to reconcile, except amongst ourselves. It is you who must reconcile with us. Reconciliation Australia Ltd doesn’t fit within our system.
I believe beyond a shadow of doubt that we are leading the way and that is why governments past and present are trying to destroy us, because our system is so simple and has nothing to do with money. To take our system on board everyone has to live within their means, as there is a fine line between need and greed. At the moment everyone is living beyond their means at our expense. In our system we have the answer not only to Australia’s problems but to the world’s problems. Our system has stood the test of time. In our system we hold the key to the sustainability for the survival of planet earth and the human race. It is all bound up in this system we are trying to explain to you.
Reconciliation and Colonialism
To reconcile to a foreign capitalist system is assimilation, which is what we understand is the goal of ‘Reconciliation Australia Ltd’. Reconciliation without justice is genocide. Justice is about recognising our identity, our sovereign right, our dignity and allowing us to be who we are in our own land, with no-one controlling us but respecting and accepting our differences in our own land.
Colonialism has been illegal under international law since the Atlantic Charter of 1941. Colonialism did not end with the end of apartheid in South Africa, it is alive in Australia today.
