Why do the non indigenous peoples of Australia always have to be one rung up the ladder on Indigenous Peoples. I am referring to Self Determination, we Indigenous Peoples cannot have this Human Right until the Australian Federal Government signs the U.N. Declaration on the Human Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which the Aust Fed Govt said before the election that they would sign and up till now still no action
Yours sincerely
