The question of Original Ownership (or Native Title) can be addressed in two different ways:

1. The idea that people of a particular race own the land just because other people of the same race once lived there is absurd and immoral; it devalues humanity for tribal advantage.

2. Even if the idea of Original Ownership were valid it would still have no practical effect, because all humans share the same ancient ancestors. Ancestors of the alleged original owners of Australia were descendants of every human’s ancestors, our common ancestors, who belonged to the Earth. We are all related. We are ALL the original owners of the Earth.

Those aboriginal people who do not believe that ‘their land’ was stolen, who do not believe they are owed anything on account of their race, who do not want to be either celebrated or pitied because of their race, who do not want to be generalised as a race or tribe but as morally responsible individuals with full human rights, I am with them. They are my hope and they should become more politically active against misrepresentation by their media-appointed leaders. If they do nothing, if they say nothing, they are tacitly acquiescing to the cultivation of resentment.

Alarmingly, the government at all levels is systematically inciting tribal separatism and nativist supremacism, knowing well that this is a core feature of Nazi ideology. This strategy ensures that after the indigenous sovereignty movement is used and no longer needed, or if it would become inconvenient to the corporate interests, they can easily suppress it as right wing extremism or even as indigenous Nazism. All the symbols are already there, awaiting to be weaponised: blood&soil under the guise of people&place; the idea of race/tribe ‘belonging’ to the land (and everyone else not belonging therefore being a trespasser); and the cherry on top is the idea that indigenous Australians have a genetic marker of racial superiority - “seven strand DNA” - and possess the holy mandate of “royal rule” over “terra Australis”, allegedly bestowed on them by God, as stated in the manifesto of the ‘Original Sovereign Tribal Federation’.
