Who the Hell Are These People? Victorians Reject the Self-Appointed ‘First Peoples’ Assembly

‘sovereignty’ is about the power and authority to govern.

The core argument is that while Victorians overwhelmingly rejected the “Voice” in the 2023 referendum, the Labor state government is pushing ahead with an even more powerful version – a treaty – without a specific peoples’ vote. In 1967 Victorians voted for equality. In 2023 they repeated that demand of One Law For All.

Victorians have had a gutful. While the Daniel Andrews – Jacinta Allan Labor machine and their political Aboriginal activist mates ram through a permanent self-identified Assembly — dressed up as “treaty progress” — ordinary Victorians are asking the obvious question: who in the hell are these people anyway?

Under the Statewide Treaty Act 2025 (now law since Royal Assent on 13 November 2025), the state is negotiating a deal with the ‘First Peoples’ Assembly’ – a body elected by less than 10% of the people it claims to represent. This isn’t democracy; it’s a parallel government being built with Victorian tax dollars.

The Statewide Treaty Act does two things simultaneously in its preamble:

1. It explicitly records that “First Peoples and Traditional Owners of Country in Victoria maintain that their sovereignty has never been ceded.”
2. Yet the Act and the official government position repeatedly state that Gellung Warl (the permanent First Peoples body) operates subject to Victorian parliamentary sovereignty.

They’ve created a new body called ‘Gellung Warl” (meaning tip of the spear) – basically a false-race-based parliament for “First Peoples.” It’s funded with over $70 million a year – money that could be fixing our roads or hospitals – to ensure that every new law in Victoria is ‘assessed’ against the treaty test. If the law doesn’t fit the political Aboriginal activist agenda, it gets flagged. It means Victoria is no longer governed by one law for all, but by a ‘plurality of laws’ where a political movement determines Victorians rights.

A tiny, self-identified, self-appointed clique of political Aboriginal activists claiming to speak for “First Peoples” while the rest of us — the taxpayers actually footing the bill — get zero say. No broad election. No accountability to the Victorian public. Just another layer of division, bureaucracy, and grievance politics shoved down our throats.

Put another shrimp on the barbie, mate — because this fish is already starting to stink. Victorians didn’t vote for a parallel political parliament in 2023, and they’re not buying the rebranded version in 2026. Equality under one law for all, or permanent separatism for a self-identified? The answer is coming loud and clear.

Treaties are agreements between sovereign nations. By signing a treaty, the Victorian government is legally admitting that it doesn’t have total sovereignty over the state. They are treating Victoria like a collection of separate political ‘Aboriginal Nations’ rather than one united state of Australia. This ‘sovereignty scam’ perverts the 1967 vote, and the 2023 Referendum which was meant to make us one people, not two.

The Victorian Secret

While naïve citizens were snoring away, Victoria quietly became the first state in Australia to hand over chunks of its sovereignty on a silver platter. In 2023, Victorian voters said a clear NO to embedding division in the Constitution. But the parliamentarians in Melbourne didn’t listen – they went behind the people’s backs and rammed through the Statewide Treaty Act 2025. Now we’ve got a patchwork of political “Aboriginal Nations,” a permanent self-appointed Assembly, and unelected political Aboriginal activists parked at the Victorian people’s table of sovereign power.

And here is the real comedy gold: Who the hell are these “First Peoples” who’ve set themselves up like a royal lineage with divine sovereignty – the Aboriginal equivalent of the King of England? Mate, one minute they’re a self-identified political movement calling themselves Aboriginal, the next they’re claiming never-ceded sovereignty that trumps the Crown. Premier Jacinta Allan rocks up as Sovereign #1 for the whole state… and this crew is suddenly Sovereign #2? Pull the other leg – it’s got bells on. This isn’t a treaty between nations. It’s a sovereign shell game that carves Victoria in two: one set of rules for most Victorians, a parallel sovereignty for this self-identified group forever. I’m seeing an old-fashioned dunny in the backyard – outdated, stinking, and something the whole street wishes we’d ripped out decades ago. This betrayal of the century is happening right now, in every Victorians’ backyard.

For a minute or two, let’s pull back the curtain on the real dangers of this “treaty” circus – because it’s not just a fancy piece of paper that future premiers can bin on day one or within the first 100 days.

The Victorian Constitution doesn’t need the people’s tick of approval to get rewritten. No referendum required for most changes. And it sure as hell doesn’t say state laws have to be for “peace, order and good government.” Back in 2004 the Steve Bracks Labor mob slipped in their little bit of fluff – a symbolic nod to political “Aboriginal custodianship” and a “spiritual, social, cultural and economic relationship with the land.” Nice words, zero legal teeth at the time. But it was the thin end of the wedge.

Here is the controversial blueprint for how a radical parliament locks this sovereign giveaway in concrete so no future government can just tear it up. They use the High Court’s blank cheque – the federal Race Power (Section 51 [xxvi]) and the External Affairs Power (Section 51[xxix]) – to turn a simple state contract into an untouchable constitutional fortress.

The Entrenchment Trick: Normally one parliament can’t bind the next. But frame the Treaty as a “special law” essential for the survival of this self-identified political group and the Race Power kicks in. High Court precedent says basically “not our business” what Parliament does under that power. Try to repeal it later? A future court could rule you’re committing an unconstitutional act of discrimination. Game over.

The international Trap: Sign the “Treaty” with these political “Aboriginal Nations” and suddenly call it an international agreement. Boom – External Affairs Powers light up like the Tasmanian Dam case all over again. The High Court has already ruled Parliament can pass almost anything to meet an “international obligation.” Undo it later and you’re “violating international law.” The Treaty becomes untouchable.

Creating Sovereign Debt: Structure the deal to hand over massive land titles, assets or compensation payments to these new “sovereign” entities. Once transferred, they become private property rights. The Constitution says the government can’t just snatch property back without paying “just terms” compensation – think billions upon billions. You’d bankrupt the state trying to buy back the sovereignty you just gave away.

The Act-of-State Dead-End: If the High Court hides behind its old “acts of state” doctrine and says it has no jurisdiction over sovereignty changes, then the moment the Treaty is signed it’s a done deal. Future governments trying to cancel it get told: “Sorry mate, the original sovereignty has already been legally altered. We can’t wind the clock back to 1788 – or even 2025.

Mate, this isn’t some academic theory – it’s the sovereign shell game on steroids. One law for most Victorians, a parallel political sovereignty for the self appointed crew forever. And we’re the ones left holding the bill and the old dunny in the backyard falls apart.

The Victorian Sovereignty Scam: Handing Our County to the “First Peoples” Self-ID Myth

Look, it’s dead simple and it absolutely stinks – just like that old sacred dunny in the back yard.

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan and her Labor government with the help of the Greens rammed through the Statewide Treaty Act 2025 and created Gellung Warl – “Tip of the Spear” – a permanent self-appointed body that now acts like a parallel parliament for the self-identified “First Peoples”.

In the Act they openly boast: “Aboriginal sovereignty was never ceded.” Then they swear up and down: “Don’t worry, the normal Victorian Parliament is still the boss.” You cannot have it both ways, mate. That’s the giant lie they’re trying to sell. If the original owner never gave up their sovereignty, that it was never handed over, then the whole legal basis for Victoria as a British-settled Australian state is fake. The government is quietly nodding along with the political Aboriginal activists while pretending nothing fundamental has changed. They knew exactly what they were doing.

Now the craziest part: Who the bloody hell are these “First Peoples” anyway? And why is the whole thing built on this self-ID myth?

It’s a modern fairy story with a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. There is no proper legal definition in the Treaty Act of who actually counts. No blood quantum, no genealogy register, no DNA test, no historical records required. Just the usual lazy three part test:

1. Some vague “biological descent” from someone 250 years ago,
2. You tick the box saying you’re Aboriginal, and
3. A bunch of other political “Aboriginals” insiders accept you.

That’s it. Self-ID plus a wink and a nod. Gellung Warl even gets to write its own rules on “community acceptance.” Perfect set-up for the insiders to gatekeep the special rights, cash, and power – and keep the club exclusive to the right political Aboriginal mates.

The truth? Modern “Aboriginal” identity in Victoria has almost nothing to do with ancient tribes anymore. Most people ticking the box now have mostly European, Indian, or Islander ancestry. Tens of thousands of Victorians suddenly claim “First Peoples” status with almost zero traceable connection to the local native tribes of this state. Fair skin, blue eyes, Irish or English surnames – common as. The numbers have exploded since the big money, jobs, housing priority, health priority, education priority and political power kicked in. This is what people mean by political Aboriginals. It’s not ancient tribes reclaiming country. It’s a taxpayer-funded identity industry dressed up as sacred truth.

The whole treaty is built on sand. They pretend it’s correcting some pure racial dispossession from 1788 or 1835, but the biology, the history and the self-ID rules don’t back it up. Remember Native Title? The legislators promised it was just a harmless “bundle of rights” for camping and hunting, that sort of thing. The High Court turned it into full-blown real property ownership. Courts treat it like real title. Exactly the same trick, different day is being played here. They call the “never ceded sovereignty” stuff “only symbolic.” Yeah, right symbolic until it isn’t.

Right now Gellung Warl’s spear tip is getting real muscle; advising on laws that affect everyone, grilling ministers in public, controlling who gets confirmed as “Aboriginal,” overseeing pending, and future treaties that will hand over even more.

We might as well admit the truth: Victoria stops being a normal Australian state. Then the rest of Australia gets carved up the same way.

One country, one people. One law for everyone. Or we quietly abolish Australia and hand it over to the political Aboriginal activists and their ever expanding “First Peoples” club.

“If the referendum goes down, they’ve set aside that $5.8 million for a treaty convention, sovereignty is going to come up in that and how sovereignty can be expressed through a treaty,” said Palawa man Michael Mansell. “This Treaty journey has never been a straight line, and there will continue to be twists and turns, but through Treaty we are building our collective power to make our own decisions and hold government to account to better outcomes for our people.”

If Victorians don’t force a proper High Court challenge – one that finally forces the judges to rule whether the state parliament can recognise “never ceded” parallel sovereignty while still pretending one-law-for-all supremacy exists – then Australia as we have known and loved is finished.

This doesn’t stop at the law. These self-appointed political Aboriginal activists are now coming for the hearts and minds of our kids. From Prep straight through to Year 10, the Victorian school curriculum is being rewritten to teach their version of “truth” – one designed and policed by the very same crew who’ve declared themselves sovereign. They’re no just carving up the state; they’re locking in permanent division for the next generation so this mess never gets undone.

The Labor government is betting you’re too flat-chat with work, footy and family to notice they’re giving your state away. But mate, the ink on this Treaty isn’t dry yet – and we’ve still got time to rip it up. The Institute of Public Affairs has crunched the numbers: Victoria’s already blown $776 million on this secretive process, and the full sovereign giveaway could land taxpayers with billions more in compensation, tax breaks and endless bureaucracy and litigation. That’s your money, your kids’ future, and your backyard being sold off while your not looking.

Now let’s talk about the real master trickery going on – because this Treaty saga has all the hallmarks of a classic Irish Leprechaun tale, except the little fella in the red jacket has been swapped for a self-identified political clique in Melbourne.

Leprechauns, those solitary Celtic tricksters from the old folklore, were wily shoemakers who guarded a crock of gold hidden at the end of the rainbow. They were never the cute, friendly Disney version – they were cunning operators who rarely gave up their treasure without a fight, leaving greedy chasers with empty pockets and a sore head. Their stories were always cautionary tales against get-rich-quick schemes and falling for clever charm.

Well mate, the Victorian Labor government has rammed through its own rainbow-chasing Treaty laws and handed the pot of gold to the political Aboriginals. And who better to lead the dance than figures like Lowitja (Lois) O’Donoghue and Patrick Dodson – both with strong Irish blood running through their veins from their fathers.

Lois O’Donoghue, daughter of an Irish descent stockman, became the ultimate negotiator, hammering out the Native Title Act and turning “symbolic” rights into real property claims. Patrick Dodson, son of an Irish descent father and British descent mother, earned the title “Father of Reconciliation” while pushing treaty and sovereignty talk for decades. Here they are – carrying the old Celtic trickster DNA – helping craft the modern version: one minute it’s all “healing and justice,” the next it’s permanent parallel sovereignty, special rights, and compensation streams flowing like that endless crock of gold.

They’ve created Gellung Warl – the “tip of the Spear” – a permanent self-appointed body that now sits at the table of power, armed with the Act’s boast that “Aboriginal sovereignty was never ceded.” One minute it’s all “symbolic,” the next it’s real muscle: advising on laws that hit every Victorian, gatekeeping who count as “First Peoples,” and eyeing future land titles and compensation cheques.

Should the people of Victoria recognise this master trickery for what it is? Bloody oath we should. This isn’t ancient tribes reclaiming Country – it’s a modern government-funded identity industry playing the ultimate get-rich-quick game with taxpayers’ money and our kids future. The leprechaun doesn’t easily share the gold, and neither will this self-ID crew once the sovereign shell game is locked in. Victorians have been warned: chase the rainbow at your peril, or wake up one day and find the state carved up and the old one-law-for-all Australia gone for good.

Now swap the Irish leprechaun for some proper home-grown folklore – because this Treaty push has all the hallmarks of the classics that have warned Aussies for generations.

Think of the Bunyip – that shapeshifting monster said to lurk in the murky billabongs and swamps of south-eastern Australia. In the old stories it hides just below the surface., letting the water look calm and inviting while something big, ugly and dangerous waits to drag you under with a roar. Victorian Labor has created its own political Bunyip: a self-appointed Assembly bubbling away in Melbourne’s bureaucratic swamp, dressed up as “reconciliation” on top while carving out parallel, sovereignty underneath. Chase the pretty surface and you’ll get pulled into the depths before you know it.

Then there is the Drop Bear – that classic tall tale Australians love to spin the gullible outsiders. A vicious, carnivorous version of the cuddly koala that drops silently from the gum trees onto unsuspecting victims. The government and its political Aboriginal activist mates are running the ultimate Drop Bear con on ordinary Victorians: “Nothing to see here, mate – just a harmless symbolic Treaty.” Meanwhile the claws are out, ready to land on your wallet, your kids’ curriculum, your property rights, and the one-law-for-all nation we thought we had. Tourists fall for it once. Victorians shouldn’t fall for it at all.

And don’t forget the Min Min Lights – those eerie, floating orbs in the outback that dance ahead, follow travellers, and lure the curious deep into the never-never, never to return. The rainbow of “Treaty progress” is shining bright right now in Victoria, promising justice, healing and a brighter future. Follow those pretty lights too far and you’ll wake up lost in a patchwork of political “Aboriginal Nations,” permanent division, and billions in compensation bills with no way back to the Australia we knew.

Mate, the old bush yarns weren’t just campfire entertainment – they were cautionary tales. The Bunyip is real, the Drop Bear is waiting, and those Min Min lights are leading us off the track. Victorians would be mad not to recognise the master trickery and call it out before the whole state disappears down the billabong.

So here’s the fight we must have – and it’s one the ANZACs would recognise. Up there Cazaly! We leap into this like the old footy battles, no surrender, no quarter. That’s Freedom! John Farnham nailed it – we’re not chaining ourselves to some two-tier system where one group of political Aboriginal activists gets special sovereignty and the rest pay the price. You can’t take Australia from me! Slim Dusty sang it true, and Victoria is still part of that Australia – one law, one flag, one people. This state belongs to every Victorian, not a self-identified political clique playing royal lineage games. We demand equality we actually voted for in 1967 and 2023. No co-governance cover story. No self-determination separatism. Just like brave diggers who stooped tyranny overseas, ordinary Victorian now stand up and turn this sovereign takeover into a destroyed past memory – before it’s too late.

So overall think controversial and give some thought to the following:

Australia isn’t being settled or conquered by history – it’s being hijacked from within by political Aboriginal activists rewriting our laws to seize control of the nation.

Forget the history books: a quiet coup is happening in our parliaments as radical political Aboriginal activists swap democratic debate for a legal takeover of the Australian landscape.

Australians are waking up to a new reality: we aren’t debating the past; we’re being legally conquered in the present by a political Aboriginal activist class that has successfully infiltrated the halls of parliamentary power.

Our parliaments have been breached. Political Aboriginal activists are no longer just protesting the law – they are rewriting it to force a conquest of Australia from the inside out.

No High Court challenge = game over. Simple as that.
