About the Black GST

Genocide to end
Sovereignty acknowledged
Treaty to be made

Our specific demands:
  • Detente (end of war)
  • Recognition of Sovereignty Act (to be passed by Parliament and added to the Constitution)
  • Treaty process entered (this is a long process, but authentic steps and resources could be committed to demonstrate good faith)

We are maintaining an ongoing campaign for these issues to be recognised and acted upon by the Australian Government. This is a national campaign of primary importance for all people living in this country, indigenous and non-indigenous.


Convergence:

Our initial call and first campaign was for the Stolenwealth Games in Melbourne, 15-26 March 2006, and the visit to Australia by the Queen. Our news and events pages covers much of what took place, principally around the Convergence of indigenous and non-indigenous supporters that coalesced into Camp Sovereignty in the Kings Domain, Melbourne.
Custodianship of the Sacred Flame lit there has been passed to the Camp Sovereignty Crew, and the Black GST is planning the next phase of our long term struggle against the injustices that lie at the foundation of this nation, and our concern that they are ongoing and being swept under the rug.


Ongoing:

Keep checking our news and events pages for what's happened, and what will be happening. This is a daunting task: find out ways you can help on our logistics page. And if you want to see a unique perspective on the Melbourne 2006 games, check out the stolenwealth games site.

We are asking that anyone who takes any photos or video footage from the Stolenwealth Games (or any of our campaigns) please contact us. We would like to have a lively visual record of our events on the web, and keep a diverse recording of the proceedings for us, for the media, and for the history books.

An important source of information, and an insight into the Black GST's roots, can be found in the official Black GST documentary (featuring interviews with Marjie Thorpe and Robbie Thorpe).

Please also take a look at the resources and listen pages for more interviews and media links.
