Proponents of medical mandates negate the value of self-ownership, an essential property of rational agency, implicitly negating their own judgement.
Medical mandates imply that the human body is unacceptable as it is, inherently unhealthy, which implies that the objective standard of human health is itself unhealthy, therefore medical mandates are healthy because they are unhealthy, therefore nonsense.
The premise that indigenous tribes have not ceded their sovereignty is at best moot. Australia is a sovereign nation and Aboriginal people are emphatically included in this collective sovereignty, not deprived of it. Also, by claiming the entitlement to services, protection, benefits and rights funded through taxation of a larger nation, all beneficiaries affirm that they belong to that nation, are citizens of that nation, and their former tribal sovereignty is voluntarily ceded for the sake of partaking in the sovereignty of that larger nation. Conversely, if tribal sovereignty was not ceded then the relevant entitlements were claimed through deception by foreign nationals and are liable to be reclaimed.
‘Opinion’ is an affirmation of a belief that you do not know to be true.
The authority to judge cannot exceed the authority of the normative structure of reality itself, or it would be contrary to sense, arbitrary, inherently unjust. Lex iniusta non est lex. A competent, just court acts in authority only insofar as it engages in consistent, a priori reasoning.
Truth: a proposition (being a multiple of common meanings expressed in relation to one another) that is logically consistent and cannot be contradicted by any other true proposition.
Reality: the meaning-content of true propositions about causes and effects.
These two definitions go together; the former is logically incomplete without the latter, and the latter without the former. When considered in isolation both definitions can accomodate internally consistent but mutually contradictory subsets of propositions. When truth and reality are considered together we can determine which subset is true and what is real. Truth is necessarily consistent with everything that involuntarily affects us, whereas falsity is necessarily inconsistent with it. We can thus distinguish any consistent but false propositions from true propositions by virtue of consistency with the involuntary effects we experience.

It is ironic that the self-proclaimed anti-Nazis and Antifa choose to use the same blood&soil colours as Nazis did: black and red. Are they all NAB employees or something;)
Recuperation of Détournement
The fact that 'white people' with a trace of Aboriginal ancestry can identify as Aboriginal, but 'black people' with a trace of non-Aboriginal ancestry are never identified as 'white' proves that the overt policy of nativist supremacism is just a cover for white supremacism, pursuing the conceptual erasure of Aboriginal race, diluting it with 'whiteness' to the point where aboriginality is transformed into a virtual token of white privilege that is commensurate with the lack of integrity of those who choose to adopt it.

Become a destroyer of narratives, an arsonist in the house of idols, an apostate of consensus, a blasphemer in the church of collusion, a pirate on the sea of false conscience, a Cyclops among the cross-eyed midgets of culture.
When a corporation declares ‘Our Values’ but omits Rationality (the fundamental laws of meaning) and Self Interest, their values are meaningless or false, open to unlimited abuse. If a corporation would declare Rationality and Self Interest as their values, nothing more would need to be added as everything that is right follows from these two. Rational self-interest dictates respecting the interests of others.

It looks like the government is using reverse psychology to condition kids to despise everything Aboriginal. White supremacism in disguise. The optimal path for social cohesion is equality under law, not racial prioritisation. Section 9 of Racial Discrimination Act 1975 states: "It is unlawful for a person to do any act involving a distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of any human right or fundamental freedom in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life."
Assuming 3% p.a. interest rate over 1200 years of British monarchy, the “King” owes £2.5 quadrillion for every £1 stolen/extorted in the first year of their Royal rule. This is 50 times more than all the money in the world. The biggest scam in the history of humanity for sure.

Colonisation and the Colonised
It is an arbitrary value judgement to regard cultural colonisation as morally wrong and the preservation of native cultures as morally right. All conceptual progress and cultural evolution was accomplished via disruption of land-bound communities that became culturally inert and therefore conceptually oppressive, stuck in conceptually irreconcilable dead ends. Colonisation stimulated conceptual development and transcendence, incrementally advancing towards human integration as a universal kind of rational beings, beyond tribal identity. In this light it were the colonised cultures that impeded universal humanity and universal morality, obstinately irrational and conceptually fallow and therefore posed an obstacle to human reflexivity based on conscious, rational agency. It is only through colonisation that universal humanity became a meaningful idea, a new possibility of universal belonging, and the price to pay is the same for everyone: to reject their cultural conditioning and group identity and embrace what we all have in common.

When little people are granted privileges beyond their social rank or capacities, you can be sure they are being set up to take the fall.
Humans are getting better at deliberating, working on resolving disagreements, so even if perfect rationality is unachievable the more we try to understand the reasons for our disagreements the stronger and more consistent we become as a kind. Governments do not like it because it makes them less relevant and us more powerful.
If the interest rates will not keep rising in line with the international trend then AUD will fall, causing higher prices on all imports. If the interest rates will continue to rise, people will have less money to spend on imported goods but the AUD will be stronger, offsetting the cost. https://www.news.com.au/finance/markets/australian-markets/asx-200-suffers-biggest-upset-investors-scramble-after-fitch-downgrades-us-credit-rating/news-story/5e30d8b85f6a0bdf3996f3af54b413a4
