How to Give Away Half a Continent
5th August 2022, Keith Windschuttle
Consider this when voting in the Referendum. Very interesting and details that may have wide reaching consequences.
The mainstream media is (for reasons unknown to me) not reporting what is happening here. In Queensland they have set up their own Government (presumably as a trial run). We must be crazy to let this happen especially as the Mabo decision was based on a false premise ie. That Aborigines are the same race as Tiwi Islanders.
In my book The Break-up of Australia, [by Keith Windschuttle ], published in 2016, the endpapers contained a map from the Native Title Tribunal showing how much land had been ceded to Aboriginal groups since the Keating Labor government’s Native Title Act of 1993. When I first saw the map I was more than surprised by how much of the Australian continent had been given away by this court. The map showed that, as a result of the tribunal’s determinations, some 30.4 per cent of the continent was owned by Aboriginal people in 2016. What’s more, the tribunal had accepted claims, which it had still to formally determine, for another 31.7 per cent of Australian land. That is, by the time this second batch of claims had been determined, 62.1 per cent of the Australian continent would be in Aboriginal hands. At the time, this seemed an extraordinary figure. What was equally extraordinary was that none of this data had attracted any interest from the journalists and editors of our fourth estate.
Last week, I checked the same map again. It had been updated on July 1, 2022, and showed that in the last six years the Native Title Tribunal had been busy handing over much more land to the same people. According to its latest figures, the tribunal has determined that 49.3 per cent of the Australian continent now belongs to Aboriginal people. And there are still more claims waiting for another 13.4 per cent of the continent to be formally determined. So the combined total of land to be defined by the tribunal as belonging to Aboriginal people now amounts to 62.7 per cent of the continent. Only 37.3 per cent of the continent belongs to the rest of us.
To put this in terms of area rather than percentages, Australia contains 7,686,850 square kilometers of land, including Tasmania and the offshore islands (Wikipedia: Geography of Australia) and native title now exists over 3,789,617 square kilometers of it.
Aboriginal land now covers an area more than four times the size of the state of New South Wales of 809,444 square kilometers. It dwarfs the acreage of Western Europe — the total area of Britain, France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland, Italy, Spain and Portugal amounts to 2,173,494 square kilometers (CIA World Factbook). And more native title claimants are waiting for determinations to be made on another 1,030,038 square kilometers of the continent.
In the early years of the Native Title Tribunal, a few claims were denied, about 10 per cent of those made. However, today the tribunal only accepts claims that fulfill all its criteria, so all those still in the tribunal’s pipeline will be admitted. Hence all the 13.4 per cent of Australia awaiting an answer will eventually be determined in the claimants’ favour. Here is the distribution by state and territory:
What the members of the Aboriginal political class are now demanding from the Australian people is constitutional change that permits the Commonwealth government to recognize that all this land be put in the hands of independent, self-governing Aboriginal crypto nations. Their political connection to the 37 per cent of the non-indigenous continent would be by treaties. However, these treaties would require the rest of us to pay for the upkeep of the Aboriginal states, since the existing remote communities have clearly demonstrated that, left to them; they could never become self-sufficient entities. Although the taxes of ordinary Australian citizens would be paying all the bills, they would nonetheless be treated as trespassers in what was once their own country.
The Native Title Tribunal’s map is something all Australians should see before they vote on changing their Constitution.

Population-wise there are few Aboriginal descendant Australians that that live on the land. Most of these people live a mixture of old and new cultures. Extremely few would live a completely traditional lifestyle
Land-wise there are huge areas of Australia of which Aborigines descendant Australian now have in their control under Native Titles.
What is native title law Australia?
- Native title describes the recognition by the Australian legal system of rights and interests of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to land and waters according to their traditional laws and customs. Native title was first recognised in the Australian legal system in 1992 by the High Court in the historic Mabo decision

It is more than a game this is a targeted attach on the Sovereignty of Australia from within.
This takeover of Australia which is based on this country being once occupied by a single nation of people is mythological and in essence a lie.

If it is not a planned internal attach on our Democracy and Sovereignty, how can this be explained as not being exactly that.
This is nothing less than keep training the troops to continue the attach.

It is hard to understand why this is not an issue in the debate over the Albanese government’s commitment to constitutional change.
Once again, our mainstream media has shown it would rather repeat the homilies of leftist ideology than investigate all that lies behind this agenda.
They should be putting the full case before the Australian people.
What is a homily?
