This is urgent! The Queensland Government is ready to extinguish our Native Title rights. Adani is trying to push through an illegitimate land use agreement and extinguish our native title.

We asked the Government to promise that they wouldn’t act to extinguish our native title until the Federal Court heard our case. And they just refused.

That means they could move to extinguish our native title rights at any time.

And with Minister Anthony Lynham back in his seat, we expect him and Adani to act before our hearing, and slam native title extinguishment through!

Our native title rights are hanging in the balance. This is a race against time.

PLEASE TAKE URGENT ACTION WITH US.

Write to or call Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, Deputy Premier Jackie Trad, and Minister for Mines Anthony Lynham, and demand they respect the judicial process and refuse to act to extinguish any Wangan and Jagalingou native title before the injunction is dealt with this week and the court hears our case against the ILUA in March:

Premier Palaszczuk – [phone] – [email protected]

Deputy Premier Trad – [phone] – [email protected]

Minister Lynham – [phone] – [email protected]

Ask that they -

~ do not act to extinguish Wangan and Jagalingou native title under any circumstances, before the court hears our case against the Adani ‘ILUA’ in March 2018 - and that they

~ respect the decision of the W&J Traditional Owners who voted down the ILUA for the fourth time in a meeting of our native title claim group on 2 December. It’s the position of the W&J people!

5sos being the oldest australian band whose members were all born after the Native Title Act was put in place (acknowledging the Indigenous Australians' historical and partial present title over the land, as well as general existence) is pretty fucked up

We Pledge to Stand with Unist'ot'en

The Unist’ot’en camp, a permanent Indigenous re-occupation of Wet’suwet’en land in northern B.C., is currently on high alert. Coastal GasLink Pipeline has applied for an injunction, as well as served notice for a civil lawsuit to claim financial damages for “occupying, obstructing, blocking, physically impeding or delaying access” against Unist’ot’en camp on their own unceded territory.  Instead of recognizing the collective hereditary leadership of the Wet'suwet'en, the legal notices target two  individuals Freda Huson and Warner Naziel. On December 2018, B.C. Supreme Court issued an interim court injunction granting Coastal GasLink the go-ahead to proceed with their fracked gas pipeline on unceded Wet'suwet'en territory. Through this interim injunction, RCMP forcibly and violently invaded the Wet'suwet'en Access Point on Gitdumden territory, which was announced in the Wet’suwet’en feast hall with the support of all Hereditary Chiefs present. Coastal Gaslink's application for an injunction will be heard on January 31. The Wet’suwet’en nation is enacting their laws and jurisdiction on their territories against the violent resource extraction authorized by the federal and provincial governments. Let Unist'ot'en Camp know they are not alone. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TAKE THE PLEDGE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. WE COMMEND the courage and vision of Unist’ot’en Camp. 2. WE ARE WATCHING across the province, country and internationally. 3. WE DENOUNCE any attempt by Coastal GasLink Pipeline, federal government, provincial government or RCMP to interfere in the rights of the Unist’ot’en to occupy, manage or maintain their lands. 4. WE DEMAND that any and all actions taken by the federal and provincial government, industry, and policing agencies must be consistent with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and Anuk Nu'at'en (Wet'suwet'en laws) and collective Title. 5. WE PLEDGE support to the frontline land defenders of Unist’ot’en Camp and affirm the collective hereditary governance of the Wet'suwet'en who are enforcing Wet'suwet'en laws on their unceded  lands.
