THE Federal Parliament has passed a Bill recognising indigenous people as the first Australians as a precursor to constitutional recognition.
QUESTION: Why do we need a 'Bill/Act' to recognise what is obvious and apparent?
ANSWER: Because this 'Bill/Act' has nothing to do with what it claims to be. It is a lie.
Introduced on the fifth anniversary of Kevin Rudd's apology to the Stolen Generation and passed in an act of bipartisanship-this lie is supported by all three elitist right wing parties, the liberal, labor & the greens-, the Bill is intended as a precursor to a referendum -why is this needed? when was the last time that we had this type of precuror to a referendum?- to remove racist elements of the constitution. QUESTION: Why do we need a 'Bill/Act' to recognise what is obvious and apparent?
ANSWER: Because this 'Bill/Act' has nothing to do with what it claims to be. It is a lie.
Which element is this? The part that presumes that ANY word written in it or any state or commonwealth statutory legislation has any lawful or legal validity over the superior law of the tribes?
Why wasn't this cleared up with the last referendum designed to give [Ab]Original's constitutional recognition in 1967?
THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENING!!!!
The Parliament was later interrupted by several indigenous men who threw two documents to the MPs below and declared: “You’ve been served.”
The group called -The O.S.T.F- the papers a declaration of nationhood for the tribes before being ejected from the House.
A protest in front of Parliament House earlier in the day called the Act of Recognition meaningless and said a sovereign treaty recognising all tribes was needed.

When the Bill was being debated in Parliament, Prime Minister Julia Gillard paid tribute to her predecessor, Mr Rudd, for having the courage to act five years ago and said it was time to ''right an old and grievous wrong''.''Indigenous people did not ordain our constitution nor contribute to its drafting,'' Ms Gillard said.
''They had no opportunity to vote for it, and yet all were affected by what it said and what it failed to say.''
There was no mention of indigenous Australians, their connection to the land, their dispossession, their proud and ancient cultures, or the ''unhealed wound that even now lies open at the heart of our national story'' in the document's 128 sections, she said.

In reality because they pulled it because they knew that it wouldn't pass.
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples Recognition Bill 2012 is considered a stepping stone, with a sunset clause of two years ensuring it doesn't replace constitutional change.
Ms Gillard said a referendum would likely be drafted in 2014.
WE MUST GET READY TO ENSURE THAT IT ISN'T PASSED.
WHAT IS NEEDED IS A TREATY.
WHY DOES WHITE AUSTRALIA CONTINUE TO CONDESCEND TO BLACK AUSTRALIA?
WHY DOES WHITE AUSTRALIA CONTINUE TO TRY AND DEFINE WHAT BLACK AUSTRALIAN LAW IS AND SHOULD BE?
''I do believe the community is willing to embrace the justice of this campaign because Australians understand that indigenous culture and history are a source of pride for all of us,'' she said.

She said Australians should never feel guilt for the things already done.
''But we can and must feel responsibility for the things that remain undone,'' she said.
''No gesture speaks more deeply to the healing of our nation's fabric than amending our nation's founding charter.''

''We have to acknowledge that pre-1788, this land was as Aboriginal then as it is Australian now,'' he said.
Wrong. The land was tribal land in 1787, 1788, 1789, 1790, 1890, 1988, 1990, 2000, 2012, 2013, 2014 and shall continue to be unless the tribes decide to relinquish their title.
''And until we have acknowledged that, we will be an incomplete nation and a torn people.''
He used the example of New Zealand's Treaty of Waitangi to show how Australia could have done better.

PARLIAMENT HAS NOW BEEN SERVED.
Both leaders acknowledged finding a form of constitution that made everybody happy would be difficult, but not impossible.
Shouldn't this task have been accomplished BEFORE making a bill, an act and a referendum???
