No Consent to inclusion in colonial Constitution-media interview-Ghillar Michael Anderson

Extract from Sovereign Union media release 7 July 2015

The government knows that they are committing a major crime against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples when they put us all in the one basket, falsely promoting a single homogenous community. They know that is wrong but the Australian public does not. This is our last stand as independent Nations and Peoples holding ancient Law and cultures. We are on a precipice. Let's not have these false pretenders make decisions for the rest of us.

Another very significant and telling point that has to be considered by our people is a statement by the Chair of the committee who introduced the Final Report of the Joint Select Committee on Constitutional Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people dated June 2015, which is available for all to read at - http://apo.org.au/files/Resource/report_8.pdf ]:

'...When the Constitution was drafted, the exclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples was unremarkable for the time, as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples were not considered citizens and had minimal rights and protections. ...'

We have always been outside the Constitution. Now the Commonwealth is coercing our people to consent to be governed by a colonial power with a genocidal intent and is actively suppressing the dissenting voices.

The dictatorial suppression that I speak of is demonstrated by the pulling of yesterday's 5.30pm NITV News bulletin. Yesterday's protest against recognition in the colonial Constitution was one of the biggest Aboriginal stories to unfold in recent times. It was filmed by NITV video journalists at Circular Quay, on the ferry to Kirribilli and outside the secret meeting. About half an hour before the NITV news bulletin was about to go to air at 5.30pm, a NITV journalist from the news team called me to confirm whether I preferred to be called Ghillar Michael Anderson or Michael Anderson as the Sovereign Union organiser of the demonstration in opposition to the secret meeting on the referendum. But NITV failed to run the news story at 5.30pm, instead the station controller pulled the news bulletin by playing the Pan Pacific games. So much for our own news service.
