Stolen Lands 2.0

THE REAL AGENDA BEHIND QUEENSLAND’S ‘PATH TO TREATY’

With the COP27 climate conference in Egypt next week set to focus on the transition to ‘renewables’, some experts are warning there may not be enough land to manage a shift away from fossil fuels.

The warnings are far from misplaced.

Most people simply have no idea how much land is going to be needed to develop the gigantic utility-scale structures necessary to replace coal and gas.

Or that these industrial-scale monstrosities are not going to be put ‘out in the desert’, away from everyone, as many seem to believe.

Developers will need land that is close to transmission lines, close to a substation and close to the “load” that is being used.

They will need, in other words, huge areas of land near to the towns and cities they are supplying energy to.

The incredible loss of high-value farmland, native trees vegetation, forests and precious natural habitats this will involve is going to be catastrophic.

Here in Queensland, the message is clear.

To power the State using renewables, there will have to be a huge trade off in land use.

A HUGE trade off.

And guess who will be asked to make the biggest ‘trade-off’ of all?

You guessed it.  The same group who has always found themselves on the wrong side of ‘trade-offs’ involving land – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders.

You didn’t seriously think ‘The Path to Treaty’ process was devised because Australian governments were suddenly stricken with guilt and a need to atone, did you?

Spare me.

They couldn’t even give the country’s other ‘black group’, Australian South Sea Islanders, the time of day recently, when asked to honour commitments made to them two decades ago!

So why all the crocodile tears now?

Could it be that ATSIs have something the government and their ‘stakeholder’ partners desperately want from them?

Something that other deeply disadvantaged groups like Australian South Sea Islanders, don’t have?

Such as the rights governing access to, and use of, huge tracts of the state’s land perhaps?

Surely not.

And yet… Governments, state and federal, WILL need to take back control (if only covertly) of vast areas of Aboriginal lands and waterways between now and 2030!

Not just for constructing massive amounts of new energy infrastructure, but to facilitate the thousands of new projects planned for the mining of radioactive rare earths in Queensland, a commodity the ‘new economy’ is heavily reliant on.

So, forgive my cynicism over the governments’ new virtue-signalling campaign aimed at convincing ATSIs that their government loves them and has only their best interests at heart?

And for suspecting that government bureaucrats are already hard at work drafting this new ‘Treaty’, quietly laying the groundwork for one of the biggest land grabs in the state’s history.

Convince me I’m wrong!

30 X 30 LAND GRAB

BEHIND THE GREEN MASK

Under the guise of saving nature, the Albanese government has signed Australia up to one of the biggest land grabs in history.

Dubbed 30 by 30, the goal is to set aside 30 percent of Australia’s land mass within a National Reserve System by 2030.

And thirty percent is just the beginning. 

30 by 30 grew out of a thesis by the eugenicist Dr Edward O Wilson of Harvard University, who maintained that humans should occupy no more than one half of the earth – and not the best half either.

His mantra was “Nature needs half”.

The ultimate goal, therefore, is to lock away 50 percent of the earth by 2050.

For decades, Australian governments have pursued policies harmful to agriculture and a productive economy.

30 by 30 will take this to the next level.

Setting aside that much land and water for conservation will ultimately destroy food production and regional economies.

It will mean a massive expansion of national parks, marine exclusion zones, wildlife refuges, wilderness areas, conservation easements, rural road and stock route closures and Indigenous Protected Areas.

Eventually, all human activity will simply be removed from these areas, including stock grazing, mining, timber production and all forms of recreational and Indigenous land use.

That’s something seldom mentioned.  Indigenous land use.

For 30 by 30 to work, the government will need Australia’s Traditional Land-owners to surrender all rights to access and use of the land held in their name.

This dispossession of Indigenous rights has been hidden behind endless platitudes about “treaties”, “conservation management agreements” and letting them “have a say” in what is happening, but the sub-text is clear.

30 by 30’s goal will restrict ALL human access to the land and waterways – and not just ‘whitey’.

That’s why Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, more than anyone else, should be raising hell about 30 by 30.

All the platitudes, treaties and ‘compensations’ in the world, will be nothing beside the permanent loss of their sovereign right to roam over and use the land itself.

The roots of 30 by 30 lie in a radical green agenda called the “Wildlands Project”, from the 1990s.

The Project’s goal is to move humans into highly controlled, and restrictive ‘human settlement zones’, leaving most of the continent off limits.

It’s a ‘bait and switch’ aimed at removing people’s private property rights and placing control in the hands of an elite band of unelected technocrats, NGOs and their billionaire sugar daddies.

All done by stealth using the old Fabian tactic of ‘step-change’.

Once 2030 rolls around, much harsher ‘targets’ will be set for 2040 and 2050.

Each benchmark geared towards gently easing the human race into perpetual serfdom.
