BRISBANE -- Around 200 people rallied and marched to mark Invasion Day 2012 on January 26 here. A number of speakers noted that sovereignty had never been ceded by the Aboriginal people to the British colonisers, nor to the Australian government.
They stressed the need to continue to support Aboriginal rights, to campaign against Black deaths in custody, to oppose the Northern Territory Intervention and to pay back the Stolen Wages. Speakers also emphasised the mobilisation in Canberra to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy occurring that day.
The crowd then marched through city streets to Musgrave Park, where food and music were provided at Jagera Hall by the Murri community.
