We're fighting for the country. We're fighting for survival. We're fighting for peace, real peace. We're all hungry for peace, we're hungry for our country...We're trying to wake up Adelaide, we're trying to wake up the country, and stop this genocide of people, destruction of country and also from destroying sacred places.

... the boat people came over here, raised the flag, set up their government houses, did all the genocide, massacres on us, and we're still fighting. We still haven't got one inch of our land back. It's all pastoralists, mining and other developments.

...These people here are war criminals, these people here should be charged with genocide. They are illegal immigrants in this country. They didn't come here properly...they have no right. If they want to live on this land and share it, then they have to come the right way and talk to people. That's the way to do it. Put down their guns and batons and handcuffs and sit down and talk. Make peace.

I been in court, high court, low court, all the courts and I haven't won. None of us have won. No blackfella has won in that system. It's always we bin the victims. We bin locked behind bars, we bin in gaol, and that's it. We're jobless, homeless, whatever. These fellas [in power] have got it all but their day is comen, eh.

The old Spirit is gonna chew them up and spit them out.

There is a better life. There is a big untapped resource that I bin talken about and that is the Spirit. We have to be home. We have to go back to our country. We have to take our country back. We have to make the legislation, not these people. We have to look after the old country....

You can't muck around with the elements and get away with it...
