['If not now, when?': Albanese suggests wording for
referendum question on Indigenous Voice…..
Albanese
said the proposal was "a straightforward proposition".
"A
simple principle. A question from the heart," he said.
Albanese
said his government, if the referendum succeeded, recommended adding three
sentences to the constitution:
A
simple principle. A question from the heart," he said.
Albanese
said his government, if the referendum succeeded, recommended adding three
sentences to the constitution:
1.
There shall be a body, to be called the
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice
2.
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander Voice may make representations to parliament and the executive
government on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
3. The parliament
shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws with respect to
the composition, functions, powers and procedures of the Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander Voice.]'If
not now, when?': Albanese suggests wording for referendum question on
Indigenous Voice (9news.com.au)
The question here is whether Mr Albanese by
belief, represents the Indigenous community or mainstream community? The place
where a community makes its declaration of belief is its Natural Parliament.
In Northern Sri Lanka, Vaddukoddai Resolution 1976 was
the parallel of the First Nation’s Uluru Statement from the Heart 2017.
Sri Lanka’s Prescription Ordinance 1871 is my guide to
confirm whether a declaration of belief is valid in the eyes of the law.
Section 3 highlights the essential criteria:
[Proof of the undisturbed
and uninterrupted possession by a defendant in any action, or by those under
whom he claims, of lands or immovable property, by a title adverse to or
independent of that of the claimant or plaintiff in such action (that is to
say, a possession unaccompanied by payment of rent or produce, or performance
of service or duty, or by any other act by the possessor, from which an
acknowledgment of a right existing in another person would fairly and naturally
be inferred) for ten years previous to the bringing of such action, shall
entitle the defendant to a decree in his favour with costs. And in like manner,
when any plaintiff shall bring his action, or any third party shall intervene
in any action for the purpose of being quieted in his possession of lands or
other immovable property, or to prevent encroachment or usurpation thereof, or
to establish his claim in any other manner to such land or other property,
proof of such undisturbed and uninterrupted possession as herein before
explained, by such plaintiff or intervenient, or by those under whom he claims,
shall entitle such plaintiff or intervenient to a decree in his favour with
costs.]
Any law needs belief . Where
there is a lawful owner, such as the Australian Government in relation to
Parliament in this case, this Alternate Government is confirmed to have
priority rights in issues affecting its community. Yesterday, after I published
my article – ‘ABUSE OF COURT PROCESS BY FORMER
COMMISSIONER - HRCSL’ , I was referred to the interview
at https://youtu.be/eyGerCSnpSY. One of the comments was
‘this
lady is a qualified and accomplished human rights spokesperson, frank and
fearless’
I responded as follows:
[This lady is in the opposite pole to indigenous
Tamils. The two make the Tamil community revolve around itself . Ambika talks
about arbitrary arrests in Sri Lanka, on the basis of her investment in
International law. Here in Sydney Australia, I was arrested 4 times – that was
also arbitrary. But I went through the experience sans my earned status – as if
I were indigenous Australian. Hence I don’t accept Ms Ambika as a
‘fearless’ Sri Lankan. My mother came to court and used her power as an
aged lady to ask the Registrar to give an early date. This did not happen but I
felt supported by my mother]
Indigenous groups and mainstream lawmakers are two
poles of the one nation. After my above mentioned experience, I felt indigenous
and therefore the permanent Opposition to the officially recognized government,
in terms of community issues. This is healthy in Democracy. My Opposition is
expressed through my written communications. They work, even if no one in
Government reads them. In belief, I am the government and I am the People.
The wonderful manifestation of this in Sri Lanka
happened through Mr Ranil Wickremesinghe,
who became Prime Minister and then President of Sri Lanka. His community
of Belief is the Colombo Community. Mr Wickremesinghe who entered Parliament through
the National list after he was rejected
by the voters, became the First Nation representative – in Parliament, This
ancestral power which is stronger than the lateral power Democracy, abused by
majority in official Parliament, has taken over Governance of the Common Nation
neglected by Separatists.
The National list is explained as follows by
Wikipedia:
[Following the establishment of the Senate and the House of Representatives in Ceylon under the Soulbury Commission, the House of Representatives had six members appointed
by the Governor-General, on the advice of the Prime Minister to represent important interests which were not
represented or inadequately represented in the House, they were usually from
the European and Burgher communities and on occasions from the Indian Tamils and Muslim (Moors or Malays) groups. On a few occasions caste groups
from within the Sinhalese and Tamils also obtained representation in Parliament
as appointed members. In the Senate, 15 members were elected
by the lower chamber, the House of Representatives and the other 15 members
were appointed by the Governor-General on advice of the Prime Minister and generally consisted of distinguished individuals. The
senators were known as "Elected Senators" and "Appointed Senators" respectively. The Senate was abolished in
1971. During the 2022 Sri Lankan political
crisis, national list MP Ranil Wickremesinghe was appointed Prime Minister by President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and weeks later succeeded Rajapaksa as President of Sri Lanka, after Rajapaksa fled the country and resigned.]
When the Galle Face protestors expressed Opposition to
the Parliament, Mr Wikremesinghe’s Party
– the UNP which formed the first government in Sri Lanka after British
Rule, awoke Itself. Now with Sinhala Nationalism and Tamil Nationalism
driving the country at the two ends– Mr Wickremesinghe has become the minority
of One – representing Sri Lanka the forgotten Nation. The protestors came
to the place which is the centre of Sri Lanka – the common nation. It is Ranil’s
Uluru. That force would naturally Oppose the separatists and do so
exponentially. Belief works
exponentially to uphold justice for the believer. This is true even when we do
not express it.
