  10. Torres Strait Islander mask, turtle shell and wood, mid-late 19th century AD

  11. As the International Court of Justice prepares to deliver a long-awaited climate advisory opinion, the ABC Law Report explores the recent Federal Court ruling that the Australian government does not have a legal responsibility to protect Torres Strait islands from the impacts of climate change. I talked to Damien Carrick about the decision of Wigney J in Pabai Pabai v Commonwealth abc.net.au/listen/programs/law #auslaw #auspol #climate #litigation #AilanKastom #IndigenousIP #TorresStrait #ICJ

  12. “The reality is that the law in Australia as it currently stands provides no real or effective legal avenue through which individuals and communities like those in the Torres Strait Islands can claim damages or other relief in respect of harm that they claim to have suffered as a result of governmental decisions and conduct which involve matters of high or core government policy,” Justice Wigney said.

    “That will remain the case until the law in Australia changes, either by the incremental development or expansion of the common law by appellate courts or by the enactment of legislation.”

    “Until then, the only real avenue available to those in the position of the applicants and other Torres Strait Islanders involves public advocacy and protest and ultimately recourse via the ballot box.”

  21. The Guardian: *Australia rejects change to constitution in referendum*

    🖕 A big FUCK YOU MATES to all Australian people who voted NO! You are still the same colonizers as 200 years ago!

    The question is also; why a referendum for basic human rights? What's next? A referendum that minorities have a right to exist? Or even a referendum with the question; "Do you think that white people are the rightful owner of Australia?" That's why referendums (at least on national level) are anti-democratic. It enables the dictatorship of the majority. Parliamentary democracy is also problematic of course, but that has at least some checks and balances.

    So SHAME ON YOU AUSTRALIA! 🔥🇦🇺🔥

    [all questions are rhetoric, so don't reply]

  22. "One year on from the historic legal decision linking the human rights of #TorresStrait Islander people to inaction on #ClimateChange, the #Australian government is maintaining its rejection of a key United Nations finding to award them #compensation."

    Because bullies deny their own actions, and climate bullies are no different.
