PLEASE SHARE URGENTLY: Yesterday Wit-boooka and Diane were NOT successful in obtaining injunctions to prevent TMR and their contractors from destroying Djaki Kundu Sacred site (also referred to as the Gympie Pyramid) on the 10th of December.
Please URGENTLY contact The Governor General and the Queen of the Commonwealth of Australia (link in bio) , and express your horror and outrage that the Kabi Sacred site of Djaki Kundu is planned to be destroyed by QTMR's contractors on the 10th December. Djaki Kundu is the basis for Kabi 'Religious and spiritual' tribal beliefs, ceremony and practice. Please demand the Governor General take immediate action to do anything and everything necessary to prevent it from being destroyed.
Features of the site they plan to bulldose include the secret women's area and creek, probably midden remains, the embedded engraved marker stone, probably a scar tree at least one bora ring and remnants of stone circles, and secret caves and tunnels under the site, buried artefacts and other things, all of which we are told, all contracting parties including so called Kabi Kabi Native Title Applicants have labelled as 'not significant' and not worthy to be saved. It is planned some of the Stone walls will remain, but surrounded by busy highway and entance and exit ramps.
The Judge acknowledged our legitimate concerns and our rights to protect what he acknowledged as significant sites, religious and spiritual practice and cultural heritage, as distinct from any of the current native title 'applicants' who tribal Law/Lore tells us have no connection to country at Djaki Kundu do not carry it's Lore/Law and do not recognise it's significance.
To destroy Djaki Kundu would be immoral, against tribal rights to preserve and protect spiritual beliefs and practice, culture and heritage, and it would be in violation of sections 116, 51 (xxvi) and 127 of the Act to Constitute the Commonwealth. Destruction of sacred sites is also against the 'Rights of Indigenous peoples' and contrary to the Queensland Human Rights Act 2019, sections 3, 5, 20, 28, 48.
