We want to be free from political schizophrenia that drugs us and incarcerates us. We want humanitarian law for our families and communities exploited by bad policies depriving our human needs. We want mining sovereignty of our lands to benefit our people as one state of people and one group that benefits from the mining wealth. We want our political party to be recognised in the Federal Parliament without intimidation or violence on our peoples and families. [1]
