298 Weekly Act

In fact, the problem between indigenous people and new immigrants boils down to differences in concepts between the two sides.

This is because Aboriginal people usually have no desire to accumulate wealth, and are only interested in all kinds of free goods, which can be exchanged with nearby newcomers for their favorite drink: Australian sweet potato spirits.

In addition, the indigenous people have no concept of private property rights, for example, after the indigenous people get acquainted with the local newcomers, as soon as the two sides start to call each other friends, all kinds of conflicts will almost immediately.

The new immigrants often complained that these so-called friends often came to their homes to steal things, and took away the food without saying hello, so the immigrants went to the police @ the procuratorate to file a complaint, and after solving the case, they found that it was indeed done by the natives.

However, the natives who were arrested felt very aggrieved, and they defended that since we are friends, then what is yours is mine, what is mine is yours, and my women are also yours, in that case, what is it if I take something from you?

When the newcomers heard this, they were furious, and said that you are so poor, what do you have but the wooden spear in your hand? Oh, just took my stuff away, what can I get back from you? Ugly women?

As you can imagine, this kind of dispute is actually quite minor......

Of course, there are a small number of people in the indigenous tribes who are willing to cultivate or herd seriously, but it seems that if they do so, they will be ridiculed and even rejected by the tribesmen, and in serious cases, they will even be killed as "betraying the tribe".

For this reason, the Federal Mounted Police, which is responsible for law enforcement in the mainland region, not only has to deal with all kinds of sudden conflicts, but also often rushes into the jungle to catch the killers for these things, which obviously leads to more serious conflicts.

Not only that, but the Indigenous Advancement Act also sparked strong resentment among the new immigrants, especially the Han Chinese.

The newcomers believe that as taxpayers, they have worked hard to settle down and become citizens to obtain the land, while the natives have paid nothing and have received land and ** free funding just by virtue of their status.

As for our new immigrants, not only did we not receive additional funding from **, but we also had to pay taxes to support these thieves, robbers, vicious, lazy and ignorant natives, why should we treat them differently as citizens of the Federation? It's really an unfair thing.

As a result, the newcomers pressed the federal government @ government to treat people on both sides equally, citing the federal constitution's provisions on the equality of human and property rights, and denounced the Indigenous Advancement Act as unconstitutional.

Finally, because of a case of an indigenous man raping a woman from a new immigrant family, it was fermented, and this was used as an opportunity to make this matter bigger and bigger.

Eventually, it reached the point where the Bar Association filed a joint complaint with the Supreme Court for the unconstitutionality of the Indigenous Advancement Act, which was a large-scale lawsuit that caused a sensation across the country and attracted much attention, and finally, the lawsuit reached Lee Chun-ming, then a tenured justice of the Federal Supreme Court.

As a result, the U.S. Supreme Court's final verdict was a resounding victory for the newcomers, and Justice Lee Chun Ming finally ruled that the Indigenous Advancement Act was unconstitutional, as Justice Lee wrote in his famous verdict, which went down in history:

“…… Over the years, the federal government @ government and the state government @ government have spent huge sums of public money because of the Indigenous Advancement Act, but the results have not been effective......

In short, our federal government @ has recently entered into a kind of governing misunderstanding, and the first duty of the government @ government is to uphold freedom and protect the people, not to dictate people's lives...... It can be said that lately, the government @ government has been spending lavishly like a drunken sailor in a bar, but it seems unfair to the sailors to say this, after all, the sailors spend their own money......

Therefore, we should respect the way of life of the indigenous people, and should not use methods that violate the laws of nature to change the living conditions of the indigenous people, this way of giving free is neither fair nor conducive to promoting the progress of the indigenous people, we should focus on creating an environment of free and fair competition, for the indigenous people, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish......

Therefore, we should learn to be more flexible with indigenous people......

...... Indigenous Advancement Act...... The distribution of wealth is unfair and discriminatory against all taxpayers, which is clearly inconsistent with the principle of equal rights in the Federal Constitution......"

As a result, the Native Advancement Act was finally repealed by the Supreme Court of the United States after several years of barely enforced.

However, the problem of indigenous peoples still exists, and the conflict between indigenous people and new immigrants continues to deepen day by day, and it has a tendency to intensify.

So at this time, all the lifelong members of the Federal Assembly: several of the ninety-three traversers, suddenly remembered the telegram that Captain Gu sent to the Red House that Friday night, because everyone vaguely remembered the content of the telegram that sparked heated discussions, and then the Federal Assembly quickly passed a bill jointly proposed by Ren Ke and Zhou Rui.

The bill has three main contents: First, immigrants are allowed to adopt underage children in indigenous tribes at will after providing their property and educational background to the county-level federal government@government, reporting information, and obtaining approval.

Second, the Federal Assembly authorizes the local government @ government to establish public indigenous child care centers, and authorizes the federal police and the federal mounted police to use semi-coercive or coercive means that they deem necessary to send young children under the age of six in the tribe who have not been circumcised or ordained to a full-time care center run by **.

The Act also stipulates that correctional teachers in institutions have the right to refuse to allow young children to continue to have contact with the adult indigenous people of the tribe "on the grounds of safety and protection of the physical and mental health of young children", let alone to allow young children to undergo the barbaric and cruel aboriginal rites of adulthood.

Third, all adopted indigenous children must be enrolled in local public schools and have completed at least six years of compulsory education as federal citizens and obtained a diploma.

This is what later became famous (or in some respects notorious) in history – the Law on the Promotion of Indigenous Progress and the Protection of Indigenous Minors.

Abbreviation: "Ren Ke/Zhou Rui Act".

The passage of the bill immediately sparked a wave of abduction and forcible snatching of indigenous children in all newly immigrant settlements.

Since the federal government did not ban guns among the people, in fact, it was impossible to prohibit people from carrying guns to protect their personal safety and property in this wild continent, and as a result, new immigrants, especially Han Chinese, became staunch supporters and practitioners of the Ren Ke/Zhou Rui Act.

Obviously, the new immigrants had an absolute advantage over the aborigines in terms of knowledge, weapons and organization, and in the Australian Federation at that time, there was a large production of "1659 type" single-shot rifled cartridge rifles and "federal two" six-shot manual runner****.

Both firearms are popular in the market because of their reliability and low price, and are almost one in most newcomer settlements.

Although these firearms were no more than an early standard weapon that had been obsolete from the Union Army, they were more than enough to deal with the indigenous tribes armed with wooden spears, throwing spears, bone knives, stone axes, rattan shields, "fly-and-go" devices, and a small number of iron refrigeration weapons that flowed into the tribes, and the natives were almost defenseless against invaders with such weapons.

In addition, the federal local government@ government has also consciously or unconsciously favored new immigrants in the judicial aspect, especially the Supreme Court of the United States has been inexplicably silent on the fact that this bill may have serious violations of the human rights of indigenous peoples, and has not carried out even a pretense of unconstitutional investigation as it did last time against the Indigenous Advancement Act.

In fact, the federation acquiesces in and encourages new immigrants to go to the tribe to snatch children, so as to "naturalize" the next generation of the natives, so as to gradually eliminate the social separation and conflict caused by the differences in world views and lifestyles between the natives and the new immigrants, and finally, use this "cruel" method to "integrate the natives into civilized society".
