Elohim's custodians .....

"It always has been,
always will be,
Jarowair land.

We don't own it.

We belong to it.

Every living thing on it, is part of it.

People are custodians of the land.

They are entitled to the spiritual content,

but not to own it.

We had native title from the word go.

We were denied to it.

We were not considered as people."

Giabal/Jarowair descendant,

Expressing the social Darwinist attitudes of the times,
Robert Ramsay MLA (1869) said :

"I believe that the inferior must give way 
to the superior race and if this be so and
it be once conceded that for the spread of
christianity [sic] or of civilisation [sic] or
for any other reason [sick] , it is desirable
that the white man should occupy the country,
the subjugation - and I very much fear [sick], 
the extermination -
of the black fellow, must follow."

Dispossession and dispersals (code for massacres)
reduced an estimated 3000 Darling Downs indigenes
to 0 full descent indigenous by ~1900.
