“Australia could be a world leader if it can successfully conclude formal agreements with the pre-colonial Indigenous nations like Yidindji” – Murrumu of Walubara Foreign Affairs Minister of the Sovereign Yidindji Government


Murrumu of Walubara answered some questions for NITV Radio about his role as Foreign Affairs Minister of the Yidindji Sovereign Government; the formal and informal relationships between Yidindji and other Indigenous Sovereign Nations, Australia and the rest of the world.

Key points:
  1. Does not recognise Australian sovereignty over Yidindji as there has been no treaty but seeks to reach a formal agreement with the Australian government or a trusteeship.
  2. Yidindji has formal and informal relationships with other Sovereign Indigenous Nations from Australia and around the world.
  3. Yidindji does not seek UN membership but has formal interactions with UN member states
  4. Respects but does not adhere to the Uluru Statement from The Heart as Yidindji have their own parliament.
  5. Wants to protect all Australians through a treaty that settles the past and secures the future for everybody.
