STATEMENT OF CLAIM
1.Hundreds of diverse Aboriginal Nations of free Peoples have maintained ancient spiritual cultures and Law/Lore, which connect across the entire continent, now known as Australia. Based on Respect, each nation of Peoples has lived as an integral part of the environment andc has the primary responsibility of Caring for Country. Respect for all creation has ensured the maintenance of the diversity of humanity, languages and lifeforms. One of the primary connections to the Mother Spirit is through the use of Fire. Aboriginal spiritual and religious freedom requires protection of sacred spaces, created during the Dreaming. They are within the Mother Spirit, which is one with the universe, for each sacred space has its own identity depending on the nation. The significance of these is that they cannot be picked up and put on an altar because we do not use icons in that fashion. We don’t build four walls around them. We do not imprison and engulf our spirituality and our religious rights, divinely given to us in the Dreaming, because it is the holistic connection between humans, the Earth, our Mother, and the universe, which is the basis of our timeless religion. Ours is the oldest religion in the world, and confirmed as such by contemporary scientists. Spiritual connectedness is valued more than the materialism that is projected by the modern society. We need to walk with the land and nature as our forebears have done since the beginning of time. Our physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing, obtained through the connection of body and soul to a oneness with the land, has Fire as one of the primary sources of spirituality. We gain whole self being, our inner and outer strength from the warmth and gifts of blessing from the Fire, which is one of the primary spiritual points.
2. Spiritually cleansing the Earth with Fire for economical production of a variety of foods to sustain life, increases the spirituality of the body and soul through the use of Fire. Since the beginning of interference with our spirituality there has been the killing off of our spirituality through the none-use of Fire, for which mainstream society must be held accountable. When invaders came the Wrong Way they did not have even the core value of our culture, Respect, and our relationship to Fire and our land has been shattered. In the name of the Crown of Britain the invaders came under the ‘rules and disciplines of war’ and declared our sacred heartlands “uninhabited wastelands’ and used their legal fiction of terra nullius in an attempt to usurp our sovereignty. They never recognised our own title deeds to our lands and territories, handed on through Fire Ceremony. Instead they designed genocidal policies to wipe us from the face of the earth. They released biological warfare, with smallpox, against us. They began killing us when we defended our sacred lands and our families. They declared martial law against us. They have hunted us like vermin from our Fires, our grounds, forcing us to interrupt our sacred obligations to Country. They stole our sacred objects and have broken the Fire cycle. They have destroyed our hunting grounds and felled our food trees, and deprived many species of Fire, which opens seeds and triggers germination, removes rank grass, making space for more plants and animals to flourish. They have tried to clear our lands of our presence and our Fires. They poisoned our waterholes and gave us arsenic in our food when we were starving. They used eugenics to breed out our colour. They kidnap our children for indoctrination. They desecrate our lands with their material culture. They pollute our lands, waters and airspace, and release radioactive materials into our environments and install foreign military bases. They fence off our rivers and waterways and divert their flow so our rivers no longer flood in the proper way. They mine our soils and replace, or simplify, our complex ecosystems with agribusiness, which tends towards monoculture, which they protect from fire. Over 99% of our grasslands have been replaced by exotic grasses and weeds and they introduce foreign species which create imbalance. They rip out material wealth and squander resources from our Mother, the Earth, while trying to enslave us or imprison us. They prevent us from maintaining our proper relationship with our lands and our Fire. Too often our lands are no longer burned in the proper mosaic pattern and we are now subjugated by the coloniser’s laws, which usually make it illegal for us to maintain our proper connection to Fire. Often the fires of today are wildfire conflagrations, killing indiscriminately, because fuel levels build up without the rotational firing. The wisdom of the Mother Earth to reintroduce Her spirituality through the use of Fire in modern day terms has been a means and way of regaining the culture. People who are sent to protect the Fire may not always be seen as doing this by the outer world. Cultural restoration through the use of Fire is critical. We were always told that ours is a ‘domestic’ matter that could not be taken to the international community, but our sovereignty is spiritually connected to our land and can never be extinguished.
3.In 1992 the High Court Mabo decision (no.2) declared that Murray Islander, Eddie Mabo, had a spiritual connection to his People’s land. Consistent with the Magna Carta, which was brought into Australian law with the 1986 Australia Act, the High Court recognised the undoubted ancient liberties of Indigenous Peoples’ “Native Title” to land, a right which precedes the Crown and British law in this land. This finding invalidated the notion of terra nullius, land belonging to no-one. In order to remove the internationally embarrassing and illegal terra nullius, as a basis for Australian sovereignty, Native Title, based on the Torres Strait Islander model, was then applied to the hundreds of nations of mainland Aboriginal Peoples, who have a vastly different culture of complex land tenure, based on constellations of sites, shared territories, neutral zones, boundaries, owners and managers of Country. In the Mabo (no. 2), judgement, Chief Justice Brennan referred to the concept of sovereignty over 120 times and after ten years deliberation the full bench of the High Court could not find a precedent for the basis of Australian sovereignty, because sovereignty cannot be acquired by invasion and massacre, land theft and genocide. The High Court justices admitted to the ‘brittle skeletal framework’ of Australian sovereignty and that it should be assumed that sovereignty was transferred from the 500 Aboriginal nations when Phillip established the colony in 1788. The Australian Commonwealth government now declares its sovereignty is based on an unchallengeable Act of State, but an Act of State is not international law, it is merely a doctrine and not a valid basis of sovereignty. The subsequent Native Title Act and Amendments attempt to validate white interests in land by extinguishing native title wherever there is a conflict of interest. But the Mabo decision and the Native Title Act accept Aboriginal Law as belonging to this land. For Aboriginal claimants to claim residual native title rights, which are not a proper land title, Aboriginal Law/Lore and practice has to be demonstrated through connection to Country, even though we have lived through forced displacement. Implicit in the admission that Australia was never terra nullius, is the affirmation that Aboriginal sovereignty has never been ceded and remains with Aboriginal Peoples, as confirmed in the International Court of Justice Advisory Opinion in the Western Sahara Case.
Less than fifty years ago and shortly before the arrival of the newly crowned Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II in Australia, the Royal Powers Act was assented to on 10 December 1953 and commenced on 7 January 1954, sharing the statutory powers of the Governor-General with the Queen when she ‘is personally present in Australia’ acting with the advice of the Federal Executive Council. On 16 February 1954 Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth II assented to the Australian Commonwealth Government Aborigines Ordinance ACT (1954), which was used to remove by force and under duress Wiradjuri/Ngunnawal and others from the lands now known as the Australian Capital Territory. So dominant is the colonising power that even in 2001 the Law/Lore of the Dreaming held by our Elders is unable to protect warriors in our own country and warriors are unable to protect the sacred Fire Ceremony, through which we affirm our sovereignty.
4.Ceremony began with the beginning of the ancient Dreaming, which, through the rite of passage, gave the right of religious freedom for Peoples to practice their cultural Laws and beliefs. Any person who would violate such practice of religious freedom is in violation of religious freedom. Ceremony is as sacred as the land itself and travels along interwoven songlines, combining our Songs, Dances, Art and Stories. This invokes religious freedom. Those who possess the gift to enhance and build religious freedom and practice, in conjunction with the Eldership role, have a right and a responsibility to guide and protect the maintenance of the culture when dealing with the religious practices for the Mother Earth. People who have been entrusted with this responsibility feel it whole-heartedly and take their responsibility seriously. This then makes the lighting of the Fire, and its uses, a practical living part of the religious freedom in Aboriginal society. The colonising society generally does not recognise our spirituality and religious practice. But as a main part of the ‘connection report’ to prove Native Title, religious freedom and practice has to be demonstrated to enable the Native Title Act to be implemented. The implementation of Native Title, through Aboriginal cultural religious freedom, dispels the myth that 500 Aboriginal Nations and Peoples have no culture or Law/Lore, for the expression of religious freedom is one of Aboriginal Peoples’ connection with the Mother Spirit. Under our obligation of spiritual religious responsibility, we, as a nation of Peoples are responsible for the protection of our Mother Earth through the use of Fire, which is fundamental in upholding our religious beliefs and protection of our Mother earth.
5. Fire is the Law. Fire is the Law of this land, under which we have a responsibility to protect and maintain our Mother Spirit. Desecration of the Fire Ceremony carries the death penalty. Uncle Kevin Buzzacott, Arabunna Elder and Peace Maker from Lake Eyre has brought a gift to the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, which is the place of gathering for all Aboriginal nations to freely express the right of cultural and religious freedoms. Uncle Kevin’s and his People’s contribution is the Fire for Peace and Justice towards the struggle for the freedom of Aboriginal Peoples in Australia. He has brought the Fire, because it is the Dreaming and the Totem that belongs to him and his People and his land. Uncle Kevin Buzzacott explains:
“Fire is the Boss and is linked with creation, past, present and future. It is an ancient method used in the past, present and future Dreaming line of our existence, since time began. The Fire was originally lit for peace and justice to call on the old spirits for guidance. We are nomadic people and the Fire goes with us. We light the Fire to warm our hearts and it goes to the pain that we carry. It warms our pain and continues the healing. We use the Fire to warm up the Mother Earth because she is hurting too. She is in shock from being desecrated. We have to use this Fire Ceremony method because of the pain and the suffering of stolen generations, destruction of sacred sites and our lives, that has been implemented on us since the invasion of 1788. Fire is one of the ancient elements used by ancient Indigenous Peoples all around the world. Others are the water, land, sea, air, wind, sun and moon. Our cultural belief and Law structure is: Do not muck with the elements. These colonisers should never have tampered with the elements. We have to have a better understanding towards Aboriginal Peoples and our cultural values by non-Indigenous Peoples. As soon as this understanding is reached real peace can be implemented and there can be peace for all. The Fire Ceremony for Peace and Justice is the only way we have to bring about this peace and social change. Through this Fire Ceremony we are calling on the Australian Commonwealth authorities to come to our Fire and begin the peace process for justice. Our Fire for Peace and Justice has been burning since 26 January 1998 and is our way of dealing with the evil that is being committed under the banner of red, white and blue. We are about making peace.”
Just prior to the seventh full moon of 2001, on 2 July, the Fire Ceremony traveled to the Molongolo River, which is now dammed to create Lake Burley-Griffin, in order to protect sacred land from desecration by the National Capital Authority, which intends to build ‘Commonwealth Place’. The Fire is to warm the heart of the land, heal the spirit and hear the call. As the full moon rose on its third night, 5 July 2001, more than thirty Australian Federal Police, led by Detective Superintendent. Brain Hepworth, desecrated the Fire ceremony, dousing it with water and arresting Darren Bloomfield, who is protector and guardian of the Fire for the Fire Ceremony for Peace and Justice. As a young Wiradjuri warrior on his own land, he has been appointed by Elders, including local Wiradjuri/Ngunnawal Elders, as a carer for the Fire. At this time, leader of the Fire Ceremony, Uncle Kevin Buzzacott, explained very clearly the sacredness and importance of the Fire Ceremony for Peace and Justice and its role in creating a lasting peace for all humanity in this land. Uncle Kevin also warned the assembled Australian Federal Police Force of the consequences of desecrating the Fire Ceremony. Detective Superintendent. Brian Hepworth, fifth in command in the Australian Capital Territory Australian Federal Police was present during this warning. Detective Superintendent Brian Hepworth had been previously warned of the consequences of desecrating the Fire Ceremony for Peace and Justice, which was destroyed on orders from the presiding officers of the Commonwealth Parliament, the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate in February 1999.
6. On 11 July 2001 the Fire Ceremony for Peace and Justice was carried from the Fire burning on the proposed site for Reconciliation Place, a $5.5 million tourist attraction exploiting the trauma, grief and loss of the kidnapped ‘stolen generations’ of Aboriginal children, who suffer from the processes of genocide against Aboriginal Nations and Peoples. The Fire was taken to the entrance of the construction area on sacred land being desecrated by heavy earth moving equipment, which was ripping at the Mother Earth, causing spiritual and emotional trauma and stress. The work was being done by Manteena Pty. Ltd. who had already been informed on 2 July that they were desecrating sacred land and threatening the continuation of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy. Manteena halted work but continued a few days later. The construction site for ‘Commonwealth Place’ is designed for the offices of Reconciliation Australia, which is headed by Fred Chaney, who, as Federal Minister for Aboriginal Affairs in the 1980s oversaw the sending in of the army and police to escort an oil drilling rig onto Aboriginal-owned Noonkanbah station in Western Australia. At the launch of ‘Reconciliation Place’, Phillip Ruddock, Minister for “Reconciliation”, stated publicly that the intention of ‘Reconciliation Place’ is to replace the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, and the construction of the offices for Reconciliation Australia is also a threat to the Embassy. The removal of the Tent Embassy would take away the right of appeal of all Aboriginal People in Australia. This would take the focus off Australia from the United Nations and the world on the injustices imposed on Aboriginal Peoples, moving the struggle for justice into another dimension. The instruction for the Australian Federal Police to desecrate the Fire Ceremony was ordered by the National Capital Authority (NCA), led by Annabel Pegrum, even though the NCA is not registered on the land title where the incident occurred.
7. During celebrations for National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee Week, (NAIDOC Week), Detective Superintendent Hepworth desecrated the Fire Ceremony for Peace and Justice, though his actions, thus resulting in the attempted murder of Darren Bloomfield, appointed guardian and keeper of the Fire, as a sacred duty whilst maintaining his religious freedom through the protection of the Fire. This occurred just after 1.00pm 11 July 2001 on Crown Land in the Parliamentary Triangle within the Australian Capital Territory, at the entrance to the Commonwealth Place construction site on Mall Street West, Parkes. Detective Superintentent Hepworth desecrated the Fire ceremony for Peace and Justice less than one kilometre from the High Court of Australia. Acting on behalf of the Australian Commonwealth government in his role as Detective Superintendent Hepworth, proceeded to endanger Darren Bloomfield’s life by the use of a Commonwealth vehicle, namely an Australian Federal Police car, green VN Commodore YBK 13K. Evidence of this has been supplied by eyewitnesses and video. Detective Superintendent Brian Hepworth desecrated the Fire Ceremony for Peace and Justice by attempting the hit and run murder of Darren Bloomfield, guardian and keeper of the Fire for the Fire Ceremony for Peace and Justice. Detective Superintendent Brian Hepworth ordered the extinguishing of the Fire with a fire extinguisher, as he has before, and under Aboriginal Law/Lore he has incurred the death penalty. The violation of a young warrior in his spiritual duty by an outside person is a violation of the Aboriginal culture and Law/lore. Detective Superintendent Brian Hepworth failed to observe the right of passage for negotiation, within the boundaries of religious freedom. His action caused the violation, thus crossing the boundaries of Peace and Respect and the right of freedom to practise cultural beliefs. Darren Bloomfield should never have been violated by the Australian Federal Police whilst he was doing his sacred duty, because it is an ancient responsibility and obligation, which he has to meet. Darren Bloomfield should never have been arrested or charged with Trespass on his own land, in the colonisers’ court. The violation of the Fire Ceremony for Peace and Justice is preventing us from practicing our cultural and religious histories and freedoms, whereas mainstream society can practice their many cultural religions on their Sabbaths. As Australia is a country of many diverse cultures and prides itself on being multi-cultural, one is amazed at its ability to stop the practice of the oldest religion and spirituality in the world. Does our spirituality have the right to religious freedom? The charge is about the colonisers’ lack of understanding and knowledge of our Ceremonies. Australia has been condemned three times by the Committee for the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination and is presently on their ‘early warning and urgent action’ list. If Detective Superintendent Brian Hepworth had come the Right Way to our lands he would never have dared to interfere with our Fire Ceremony. This Detective Superintendent Hepworth is in the fifth highest position of responsibility within the Australian Capital Territory Australian Federal Police. It is a shock to see how he could be so disrespectful. For the Australian Commonwealth government to show good faith, Detective Superintendent Brian Hepworth should be suspended, then removed from the Australian Federal Police force. He has to be charged for breaking Aboriginal Law/Lore and damaging the young Warrior, Darren Bloomfield. He has to be sued. There has to be some justice here to acknowledge Aboriginal Peoples still exist and our ceremonies are still ongoing. Detective Superintendent Brian Hepworth is to be tried by white law and then handed over to us under our Law/Lore, where he would be speared to death. But, if we are expected to comply with International Law against the Death Penalty, it is mandatory that 500 Aboriginal nations become members of the United Nations in equal sovereignty to United Nations Member States. If we cannot gain our right to self-determination, the United Nations must be prepared for the conflict that will escalate throughout the world of Indigenous Peoples. We are defending our Mother Earth, against a United Nations based on forced law. That is, when we resist they send in the authorities, usually armed. At present we are almost defenceless against tyranny, but we look the oppressor in the eye knowing the future of the planet is in our wisdoms, through our teachings and knowledge that are given to us in the Dreamings. There should be a lesson in this special case that there is a need for understanding and cross-cultural learning. After 200 years the colonisers still do not properly acknowledge that we still exist and that our Fire Ceremonies and our Law/Lore are still practised. It is time for the non-Aboriginal community to fully understand the Law/Lore of the land.
There is a lot of sacredness attached to this Fire Ceremony for Peace and Justice, which we cannot air in your High Court, but we are able to reveal some of the basics if you come to the Fire Ceremony for Peace and Justice.
AND UPON READING IT IS FOUND DETECTIVE SUPERINTENDENT BRIAN HEPWORTH, NORTH DISTRICT TERRITORY INVESTIGATIONS AND CRIME TEAMS, IS NEGLIGENT FOR HITTING AND RUNNING DOWN INTO DARREN BLOOMFIELD IN THE GREEN VN COMMODORE YBK 13K AND FAILING TO REPORT AND STOP AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THUS INTERUPTING AND DESCERATING THE FIRE CEREMONY FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE AT 1.OOPM ON 11 JULY 2001 IN NATIONAL ABORIGINAL AND ISLANDER DAY OBSERVANCE COMMITTEE (NAIDOC) WEEK AT ‘COMMONWEALTH PLACE’, AND IS THEREFORE NEGLIGENT AND GUILTY OF:
Violating the Atlantic Charter, 1939;
Violating United Nations Covenants, for example, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), International Covenant on Economic Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), International Covenant on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) and Granting of Independence to Colonial Nations and the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide;
Magna Carta 1215;
Australian Constitution Act (United Kingdom, 1900) for example,
*the right to religious freedom
*the right to trial for committing an indictable offence;
*a subject of Queen resident in one state shall not be subject to disability and discrimination that would not be equally applicable to a subject of the Queen resident in another such state;
*the implied rights validation of United Nations Covenants as domestic law under the external affairs powers;
*the State will reasonably compensate for claiming land; and
Australian domestic law, for example, Commonwealth Crimes Act 1900, Australian Capital Territory Crimes Act 1930, Racial Discrimination Act 1975, Australian Capital Territory Imperial Acts Application Act 1986;
8. Newcomers to this land have been trespassing on and desecrating Aboriginal land since 1788. Under Aboriginal Law/Lore unauthorised entry into another’s Country is punishable by death. The carrying out of Aboriginal Law/Lore for these newcomers is being prevented. The fact that Darren Bloomfield has been arrested for trespass on his own land, for which his ancestors have lived for from the Beginning, is a clear indication that Darren Bloomfield and 500 Aboriginal Nations have no choice but to file a Section 78B Notice of the Judiciary Act 1903, Notice to Attorneys-General of a Constitutional matter. The matter of this writ falls within the original jurisdiction of the High Court of Australia involving sections 75 and 76, of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act and section 30 of the Judiciary Act 1903. Proceedings in any jurisdiction have to be adjourned until the Section 78B Notice to Attorneys-General of a Constitutional matter is brought to the attention of every Attorney General in Australia, before being heard by the Full Bench of the High Court, which will reinterpret the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act. This ensures the above mentioned Sections of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act are validated as domestic law, through implied rights under the external affairs powers, with reference to the United Nations Covenants. Whereas the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act (United Kingdom) will be invalidated as domestic law in Australia as it is an Act of the British Parliament and does not apply since the Atlantic Charter and the United Nations.
9. The fact that Darren Bloomfield’s Section 78B Notice of the Judiciary Act 1903, Notice to Attorneys-General of a Constitutional matter will validate United Nations Covenants as Domestic Law in Australia, before invalidating the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act (United Kingdom) from further applying in Australia, is an urgent matter the United Nations General Assembly in Geneva and New York must take on board. As a precedent this will invalidate the Constitutions of Colonial powers, thus ensuring United Nations Covenants apply as Domestic Law around the world. This necessitates United Nations Headquarters in Africa, Americas, Asia, Australia and Europe. Reparation and compensation should be made by the perpetrators, including monarchs, the Anglican and Catholic church, since the Pope in Rome unleashed the Papal Bulls, in the 1300-1500s, to incite and encourage, and aid and abet, the principle of divide and conquer by colonisation and genocide around the world, in order to indoctrinate and subjugate Indigenous Peoples and squander their resources.
OF WHICH THESE PARTICULARS OF INJURIES HAVE OCCURRED
*Interruption and desecration of the Fire Ceremony for Peace and Justice of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy, which is the platform for representatives of 500 Aboriginal Nations.
*Violation of Aboriginal Peoples’ religious freedom and spiritual Law/Lore,
*Newcomers trespassing on Wiradjuri/Ngunnawal land without invitation;
*Usurped sovereignty
*The non-Indigenous colonisers of hundreds of Aboriginal nations use the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act (United Kingdom) and terra nullius to avoid paying rent and fees for the time for which they have occupied and desecrated the lands and territories of hundreds nations.
*Attempted murder of Darren Bloomfield, Guardian and Keeper of the Fire for the Fire Ceremony for Peace and Justice.
PARTICULARS OF LOSS AND RELIEF SOUGHT:
Recognition and respect for Aboriginal sovereignty and reparation for usurped sovereignty by the Crown;
Recognition and Respect for Aboriginal spirituality and religious freedom;
Rent and fees of Aboriginal nations since invasion in 1788;
Damages and Compensation for trespass, theft and wrongful deaths since 1788;
Damages and compensation for being inhumanely removed from biological family;
Damages and compensation for mental harm and religious and spiritual trauma;
Particulars of claim to be provided by the authorising Elders of Aboriginal Nations, who have been deliberately dispossessed of lands, territories, resources and life.
AND the plaintiff would claim damages, costs and interest pursuant to Order 43A Rules 1 and 2 of the Commonwealth of Australia High Court Rules in force under the Judiciary Act 1903.
