Equal laws for all, and special laws for none.
One Nation stands for equality for all Australians regardless of race.
But we don’t have equality.
Australians who own property only have rights to the surface and a shallow depth under it.
But when an indigenous land council owns it, they appear to have rights to ‘the centre of the Earth’ and every part of the sky above.
This would be a laughable joke if it wasn’t so serious.
Such is the claim of the land council which owns the old run-down Waverton Bowling Club, which is also claiming millions of dollars in compensation because the Western Harbour Tunnel is being developed underneath.
This would not be considered if the owner wasn’t indigenous.
Land for such projects can be compulsorily acquired under the New South Wales Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 – unless it’s owned by an aboriginal land council.
That is not equality under the law.
That is racial inequality deliberately written into law.
In 2022 in NSW, there were still more than 38,000 claims awaiting assessment under that state’s Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983.
This is divisive, unfair, and sheer stupidity allowing property rights that are denied to every other Australian.
Enough is enough.
We must have a sunset clause on native title and land rights claims, which already cover more than half the Australian continent.
We must have a comprehensive audit on these land councils, aboriginal corporations and charities which make up an industry that absorbs billions of taxpayer dollars every year to no positive effect.
Wake up Australia – you’re being taken for mugs.
