33 years ago Late great Eddie Mabo proved Australia claims of ownership and right to occupy this place we call Australia was illegitimate and illegal claiming that is was not habituated and or had prior owners…Time for Australian parliament and its states & territories to address that decision and negotiate with Australias first peoples to resolve and commence a relationship with its first peoples based on human equality and start negotiations reparations for illegal colonialism and seek out treaty(s) to resolve illegal use of land water minerals and resources to get a United Australia that deals with its past to gain a future for all and not some if Australia is to achieve Reconciliation with its 1st peoples
