United we stand: Conscious of the original invasion in Australia, Doubtful Creek landowner Dean Draper works alongside men from the Githabul-Ngarakwal Tribe of NSW to protect the land from coal seam gas mining in Northern NSW and quarry expansions on sacred sites at Cedar Point. From left, Kamailie Monsell, Jarmbi Githabul, Dean Draper and Wadu Miles.
As always, when thinking about farmers being invaded by coal seam gas companies, I think also of our indigenous ancestors being invaded by farmers.
So many First Nations' people stopped walking their Country, to their sacred sites, for fear of being threatened and shot at by farmers.
Although farmers alive today are NOT personally responsible, and love and deeply respect the land, I believe they have a moral obligation to speak up about the historical fact that the land they live on was stolen in the first place via murderous force used by their ancestors.
And to outwardly acknowledge the suffering and misery that this has caused to those that were – and still are – custodians of the land we now call Australia.
And to pay respects to the Ancestors. All of them. Lest we forget.
Truth-telling is healing. And helpful. And desperately needed for the children of this country to grow and move the nation forward.
Therefore a way through this next tragic twist-in-the-tale of colonisation, where farmlands are being invaded by mining corps, is;
Please farmers and landholders, honour the original local tribe living NOW when pertaining to all expressions about Country, and better still, get to know the local mob and WELCOME them back on country, onto your farm, and SHARE the land and LEARN about culture.
Use this current threat of invasion as a healing opportunity for the blood spilled on Country by those who claimed the land some time ago – but not really so very long ago.
Let's make an effort for true reconciliation.
Black fella, white fella business. Walking side-by-side on the common, noble purpose to care for Country. If we cannot do it for ourselves then let's do it for our unborn children.
As a committed anti-CSG activist I'm blessed to know farmers in the movement who are doing just this and I am witnessing extraordinary friendships and trust being forged.
As a way of expanding this goodwill, I'm now calling on all farmers to Open the Gate.
Open the farm gate to the nation's indigenous people.
One people. One earth.
Our home.

Just beautiful, Iris. Truly moving.
The biggest gift that Big Carbon could have offered is this opportunity towards meaningful and practical reconciliation. Let’s grasp it!
Beautiful. I truly believe that underneath the lack of care for our country and the disrespect that is shown to Aboriginal people as the true custodians of this country, lies a deeply embedded shame about how we white people came to be the controllers of most of the land. Truth telling is the key to healing and a future where we can all live as equals. Two quotes from Hannah Arendt speaks to this question I think. “The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds
to be good or evil.”
― Hannah Arendt
“The trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him, and that the many were neither perverted nor sadistic, that they were, and still are, terribly and terrifyingly normal. From the viewpoint of our legal institutions and of our moral standards of judgment, this normality was much more terrifying than all the atrocities put together.”
― Hannah Arendt
We need to uncover the injustice of our normality.
So well written my dear sister. I too have felt resistance to the farmers integrity when they talk of there care for country when it has been irresponsible agricultural practice that has caused significant damage to our country. It is healing for me to see my thoughts in your writings and put out there to begin even greater healing, so thankyouxxx for been a mover and a shaker! Not always an easy position, but so vital.
In saying that I have held some doubt in the farmers environmental integrity ( generalising I know as there are many mindful farmers out there) I know that the joining forces of earth protectors and farmers is a beautiful and important partnership, so I have felt somewhat confused by this contradiction. Your passage has shifted this confusion into what needs to be done for the healing and understanding.
Yes, to start with silence, to listen with our hearts to the sound of the land,
In silence to listen to the rhythm of our hearts.
From silence we start to share our stories
And we keep listening
I hold my pain of the past were I have laid blame, this has held me in doubt to the possibility of our commonality in partnership of custodianship.
Listening, truth story-telling, and forging of partnership
Peace
Danielle blomeley
Well said Iris.
