Sovereign Union Statements

As First Nations Peoples it is now imperative that we unite and rebuild as sovereign independent nations, in order to assert our sovereign title and rights. This will be a major political and legal fight, but it is our future for not just us, but for our children and our grandchildren. The Sovereign Union governance is made up of nominated representatives from each Nation that has made their Unilateral Declaration of Independence. These representatives come together once a year to discuss all relevant political, legal, cultural, economic and social issues that confront them.

We can say that Aboriginal people throwing spears at the first white man was an act of sovereign Peoples in defense of their lands, territories and dominions.

If we are to examine the political legal action by the people and their spear throwing, it was a military exercise authorised by their law and customs which, in total, represented an Act of State on behalf of the People. They were exercising their sovereign right to defend what was theirs.

As the appointed Ambassador of the original Aboriginal Embassy, the Convenor of the Sovereign Union and Head of State, Euahlayi Peoples Republic, I herewith bring to your attention the humanitarian crisis that has now developed in the state of Western Australia. This crisis is a consequence of the Western Australian government's policy of shutting down up to 150 Aboriginal homelands and communities, which they have wrongly stated to be financially 'unsustainable' and economically unviable. We regard these actions as an an act of war and aggression against the various tribal Nations in Western Australia.

Ghillar Michael Anderson, Convenor of the Sovereign Union and Head of State of Euahlayi Peoples Republic said from Canberra that the second Gathering of Nations held in Canberra this weekend was successful, and despite disruptions by other parties in opposition to the Sovereign Union, the key matters were successfully concluded.
A key issue that arose was the creation of templates to serve as models for Nations around the country, who seek to make their Declarations of Independence.

The outcome of the 'Euahlayi Rates Dispute case' relied on an expanded doctrine of terra nullius to the First Nations people justice. The Supreme Court Judge in Queensland failed to clarify certain arguments, and used the non-justiciability of the sovereignty issue as a link in a chain of argument.

This being so, the decision reveals a gross denial of natural justice, an error of law on the face of the record, and a jurisdictional error.

The announcement by the Noel Pearson's of his 'Empowered Communities Initiative' group looks like – the Magnificent Seven Plus - Mark Two.

Now a handpicked twenty-five, believe they can override elected leaders who represent their own communities and want to establish policies for governments to pursue. ... Every effort must be made by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples to stave off government policies that are designed to come from the top down and impose assimilation overtly or by stealth. The reality is, if assimilation is successful the colonising power gains this continental land base for free!
