    Looking into them a bit further they basically want all non-Indigenous Australians to leave or live under their system

    Join the Black Peoples Union in the call for a treaty between the Sovereign Indigenous Nations of this continent and help us work towards a future where our rights and sovereignty are respected and upheld, and where the illegitimate state of Australia is dismantled and replaced by a Union of Sovereign Indigenous Nations in a true revolution and liberation of Indigenous peoples.

      They have information about what the beliefs are and what is wanted.

      Just none about anything else, so how can anybody tell if it’s a legitimate organisation that represents the views of thousands of members, or one bloke standing on a soapbox? Eg, ANTAR clearly states “ANTAR is a non-government, not-for-profit, community-based organisation driven by a voluntary Board of Directors and a small, dedicated team of professional staff.” and you can look at their annual reports, their Key people and so on.

      I guess conspiracy theories, the internet and phone scams, and everything else has made me sceptical by default…
