Taylah Gray is a proud Wiradjuri woman, lawyer and PHD candidate. Her campaigning efforts for Indigenous rights have made national headlines. She is the first Indigenous student to undertake a PhD in law at the University of Newcastle. Taylah is also undertaking a PhD in Law with a focus on Native Title and economic theories, which seeks to increase economic growth and land reform for First Nations communities.

Then tell me why as native title is now covering most of Australia of indigenous land and giving the mining to go ahead on indigenous land and that native title put economy over sacred sites

@shaagaknowsyou5295 8 месяцев назад

Because native title does not give you sovereignty. It therefore does not give you the power to govern and by default, the power to veto.

Just to get info out there for the vote... To the sovereign 'no voters"... I attended two of the statement workshops... I can tell you that the workshops I attended started like this: as aboriginal people, we have NEVER seeded our sovereignty. An uncle added that our sovereignty is our 690,000 years worth of our famlies bones buried on our countries. As far as I'm aware, the yes vote was always meant to lead to treaty and truth as in the naidoc theme a few years back.. voice Treaty, truth. Once we've achieved a voice and treaty, we will be living in truth... as far as I'm aware from the info I've been given, treaty was always part of the plan. To the 'no voters' who are worried about the voice causing racial division: How many years have lived as a nation, with a whole government department dedicated to making separate decisions and rules for just one race in this nation... This is racial division. When the welfare card was rolled out... it was only mandatory for aboriginal people... that's racial division. For people worried that aboriginal people will have too much of a say... our voice is only about us... it won't affect anyone else... and a voice is only as good as the ears that are listening. There's a chance nothing will change... if we don't try we won't know. Our young people are dying like flies under the current legislations made only for us by the department of aboriginal affairs... let us give them some ideas about what our kids need to keep living... It's not like they have to act on it. It's just a way of letting them know what we need to fit in and be stronger for our families and wider communities. It's nothing that gives us any social power at all... there's a department making decisions just for us... we just want to tell them what we need to get through this alive.

The Proclamation of Governor Bourke, 10 October 1835 implemented the doctrine of terra nullius upon which British settlement was based, reinforcing the notion that the land belonged to no one prior to the British Crown taking possession of it. This didn't happen on 24 January 1788.

@smithyjordan9918 Год назад

No Terra nulius is in Latin for a reason this comes from a proclamation from the Pope or a Popal bull that called for the European nations to spread the word of christ. Essentially this set out the way for 'explorers to discover and claim' new lands by stating if the land is uninhabited or 'Terra nullius' then one can claim it but if it is inhabited then you either had to convince the natives to sign a treaty like the u.s and Canada or you can declare war and conquer the native population. Therefore the truth is that every one involved in 'claiming' this continent from Cook through to the mabo decision had to rely on Terra nulius to do so

@R_Alexander029 Год назад

Honest question: What's holding Aboriginals today from living and practising their cultures in the outback? There's plenty of land out there.

@benchickenbin674 11 месяцев назад

I'm a Ngadjon noonyanburra morangbar woman from the atherton tablelands... thank you for your question... infact, 25%of every national park in Queensland is designated to cultural practices. However... our culture is connected to our songlines all around our country... which is connected to seasons, lore and the whole of country. Most of the roads we drive on were originally someone's traditional walking tracks... their song lines... the way to move around our country with the seasons, songs and stories... that are connected to our lore and our language and us. This is our culture. Assimilation camps, the act, and slavery saw our culture replaced with grog, tea, flower and sugar. None of which we ever ingested before.. instead of getting together for ceremony when someone passes, we get together to charge up... because it's our replacement culture for our culture, that was taken from us by the invading people and forced on us with the intentionof whiping us out as a race. We dont have much left... and most of our traditional camping places are built out. Our culture isn't just running wild around the bush catching stuff to eat... that's just what it's become since colonisation, deforestation and development. I hope this answers your question... however your question to us feels like the equivalent of going to stay with a friend for a week and asking them why they can't go out into the back yard to practices their family culture.

We hear the same comments in USA from people who stole our land.

@user-ui5bo5um8m 27 дней назад

The Native Americans were warring and stealing eachothers land for tens-of-thousands of years before Europeans -- arrived and the same is true of the aboriginals. The only thing Europeans are guilty of is being better at conquest. Those Europeans then went on to create an amazing society. The Europeans were benevolent enough to allow your ancestors to live and to subsequently join the amazing society those Europeans created, a society that provides a greater quality of life for your people in the present than anything your ancestors could have dreamt of.

@leebegay9088 26 дней назад

@@user-ui5bo5um8m You sound like the Europeans save us, in our tribe we have over 75 or more clans. That means we have adopted many different tribes and we didn’t killed one another. In this country we have abundant of natural resources. You think we would have starved. We had relationships with South America and northern tribe to the arctic, we had no borders. You think we would never have advanced, all people advance. We didn’t have individual properties, we had tribal lands.

3:06 Terra nullius is not a land belonging to noone (or land without people). It means landed without government or uncivilized. The inconvenient truth is that this did not apply to New Zealand that had a coherent Maori kingdom for which a treaty was negotiated.

@tadpolak69 9 месяцев назад

Aboriginal religious/cultural belief until recently swayed by the Communist party operatives was that they didn't own the land, the land owned them. So, whichever way you look at Terra nullius, it is correct as applied to aboriginals.

@tadpolak69 9 месяцев назад

Acknowledgment of country is a modern invention. It purports to be ancient but, like dot painting that is only a 100 year old European invention to help aboriginal people, is only a couple of decades old. Previously aboriginals "welcomed" others with spears and aggression. Aboriginals were never united across the Australian continent of which they were unaware was one land mass. Government pushing of any aboriginal religious practice is unconstitutional and tantamount to proselytization!

3:30 The only correct comment she makes, probably in her whole talk (couldn't be bothered listening to more uninformed rhetoric) is that she is naive!
