Issues of land management within Ngarrindjeri lands ie the Adelaide plains
Hello tot the Federal Attorney General the Honorable Robert McClelland and to your office from Kym and Rachael Maxwell
Police report number 11/CO2828 described to the SA Police how my wife was intimidated by an intruder onto our property and recent damages we have incurred. The officer reported the background and the allegations we have made under parliamentary privilege; we have alleged that factions within the ....................... and other business associated, have acted in a covert way to criminally malign our family in order to silence us. (words to that effect were placed on SA Police files by the officer reporting)
As you are aware we are alleging that our family has been menaced by peoples associated to factions within the ........................ and business groups associated to them, linked to property development deals within Ngarrindjeri lands. Being genetic descendants of the region we are connected to the land by Indigenous lore and that lore tends to correlate with Crown law; thus violations of law come to us in the dreaming and we convey that to the Government of Australia. Our activities that support natural lore-law have made us unpopular with those who are intent upon the exploitations of Aboriginal rights and thus we are alleging that those peoples associated are the peoples involved with the criminal persecutions upon our family, spanning decades.
- Within the concepts of International law we do hold certain rights that can never be extinguished and those rights are yet to be satisfied or fully negotiated to date; thus the probable occurrence of the legal violation of rights being further disclosed in the dreaming is likely to continue, until this matter is reconciled.
- Whilst we are dwelling without adequate security within this current circumstance of legal jeopardy, we are liable to continue to be criminally violated unless the Government agrees to protect us or the other opposing parties are subdued from committing covert criminal attacks upon us.
- It is our wish that the State takes over full management responsibilities for Indigenous Title matters within our region and are held accountable for the damages to property and to those adversely affected immediately and that the Government is able to act with a duty of care to provide security, adherence to lore-law and the protection of property, environment and Aboriginal peoples forthwith.
- There are important matters in the dreaming that need to be considered as the security and safety of the total population of the region might be affected by various degree; if actions are not implemented to prevent certain catastrophic events from causing a severe regional impacts on people and property (I will forward a report in due course to explain further, as to my concerns)
- A major concern is the transfer of Crown lands and Crown rights to business without the consent of the appropriate Indigenous persons as that property is in fact Indigenous communal property that should be held in trust as a heritage and protected on behalf of the peoples of Australia, held by the State as a National equity. The Indigenous people of Australia should enjoy benefit from their heritage as a natural property right to be shared in an equitable and sustainable way.
- Certain land management in sensitive ecological regions needs to be further accessed as to the risk management for the region and future environmental impacts upon the community; Indigenous regional consultations of the appropriate Indigenous persons should be considered. (the urban developments close to or within the inter-tidal, delta, estuary-tributary, supra-tidal or mangrove regions come immediately to mind; for instance urban development proposed, Boliva-Dry Creek SA areas etc) http://www.sensational-adelaide.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=359:huge-dry-creek-development&catid=6:greater-adelaide&Itemid=11 :Huge Dry Creek Development Wednesday, 26 August 2009 16:41 Written by Howie
- The impacts of constant harassment, property damage, bullying and intimidation that are associated to the above mentioned circumstances has impacted on our family; our capacity to earn an income, gain employment and education etc. It is my understanding that others of tribal origins may be similarly suffering but unable to respond; we urge the Government to take action against any regimes who are using Government resources to malign Australian citizens.
Regards from Kym and Rachael Maxwell.
