As I said, this country belongs to all of us. It does not belong only to the modern descendants of the Stone Age hunter-gatherers discovered by British explorers and settlers. There is only one nation on this continent. There has only ever been one nation on this continent, founded on 1 January 1901. There cannot be a legitimate treaty. This means there is also no requirement for so-called truth-telling. This is a code for rewriting history to maximise financial settlements in a treaty. Just forget it. The only fair and equitable way forward is for racial separatism and division to be abandoned and for us to move forward as one people and one nation under one flag. We are all Australians together and should be treated equally.
