A group of self-appointed malcontents slung together for the purpose of signing a treaty? That would be utterly meaningless. There never was such an organisation or tribal leadership, and try to invent one at this late date, makes the Terra Nullius of 1788 seem a reasonable. There certainly was tribal leadership. Still is. A treaty must be held with the Elders of this land. Tribes? What a lot of rubbish. When Lt Phillip circumnativagated, three times, his Sydney natives could not communicate with the CLANS they come in contact with, in other parts of Australia. Any so called treaty will be with a bunch of people got together for no other purpose. They will have no authority whatsoever in indigenous communities, and the only signatory to be held accountable will be the Commonwealth. The only result will be Bantu mentality, and a further sense of social division. Why do you think thos people Lt Phillip had in custody couldn't speak with any other nations they encountered? Divrse and interesting tapestry. And here we are, calling them a the same names. Treaty. Now. He did not have anyone in custody. You are just revealing your ignorance of history, and your propensity for left leaning conspiracy theories. You mean non captives, like Bennelong? Oh, how much you don't understand. OK. Lets cut the chase. You have stated that Lt Phillip King's native interpreters in his three voyages, where in custody. I will give you the opportunity to withdraw that statement due to my Typo. (Phillip King). If you do not withdraw that statement, you must now cite your historical references the support your statement. This is not just to make the point that you don't know anything about the tribes PK came in contact with, but that you tried to infer that the interpreters were there for some ulterior motive. Unless you can cite these documents, you are a liar, and do indigenous history no service. Don't blather, just cite the documents.
