    1. These are actions which seek to incite outrage and grievance, actually to boost their own profiles, and this is part of a trend that we do see internationally, but quite frankly we don't need here in Australia.

    Australian Government
    1. You have shown great respect for Australians, even during times when we have debated the future of our own constitutional arrangements and the nature of our relationship with the crown. Nothing stands still.

    1. The British Crown committed heinous crimes against the First Peoples of this country. These crimes include war crimes, crimes against humanity and failure to prevent genocide. The Crown must be held accountable for these crimes.
    2. You committed genocide against our people. Give us our land back! Give us what you stole from us!
    3. If the colonising king were to come to my country again, our country, then I'll do it again.
    4. Our bones, our skulls, our babies, our people. You destroyed our land!
    5. I will not be silent. The truth is, this colony is built on stolen land, stolen wealth and stolen lives.
    6. I was denied my right to be in that chamber whilst everybody else voted to shut me down.

    1. The radical authoritarian left has taken offence for a tweet which did not mention, target or reference any individual. Maybe they should have considered censuring my colleagues who regularly and consistently direct abuse and vitriol towards other people and our great nation.
