This boils my blood!!! We the Australian people need to stand up for all our peoples; including our First Nations brothers and sisters. We need to put our foot down and say enough is enough.
Australian mainland Aboriginal people used fire for 40 - 60 thousand years to easier hunt animals for food. Imagine how much fauna and flora such burning destroyed, and how the practice would surely have helped to create the vast desert waste lands of Australia! Continent movement was happening long before the Industrial revolution. Do Torres Straight Islanders ever wonder if their multiple Islands were once joined to another land mass?
@@island_rogue1687 Meaning Australian Aboriginals over a period of '65 000' yrs. contributed to desolation of much of Australia with the use of fire. Aboriginal people didn't originate in Australia, they all came from somewhere else originally.
@@ArnoldGilalong-fw7ftSingSing? Yeah, sounds familiar. I think you are right, spot on bala. Good work. 🖤💚💙. Tell, Sepik Crocodile Nation 🐊, that there is a crocodile můrděř on the lose, around the cape area, might be travelling up that way, we raised $15,000 plus, grand to catch them. But nothing yet. Such a shame. They were old too. I guess the ecosystem will cark it now. Locals are p1ssed. Anyways, love always, Crocodile Nation from Waibene. Take care and stay safe. 🐊💀🖤💚💙
I love the words of one of the Old Men,,He said before we fight with bows and arrows, But now we fight with WORDS just like what the G20 world powers are doing now in Indonesia ..beautiful
Such a beautiful video it brought me to tears. More needs to be done for the First Nation people. I do not know how people can comment hate under this video. They clearly lack empathy and do not understand culture and connection to land and country and it is absolutely heartbreaking.
I would like to come to Torres Straight someday. I'm a Melanesian from Solomon Islands and we face the similar issues of climate change and it's related sea level rise. Hopefully our cries will be heard by the big emitters.
Honestly would love to visit the Torres Strait islands one day the land of my ancestors would be crazy spiritual and just meeting the people would be out of this world.
Excellent documentary. It is important to realise that rising sea levels are not only affecting Zenadth Kes (Torres Strait), but the entire southern coastline of New Guinea as well. The southern coast of New Guinea is culturally, geographically and biologically intertwined with Zenadth Kes.
!@ to 8000 Years ago You could walk from Australia to PNG on dry land, as you could from Victoria to Tasmania.. Yes the sea is rising & the Islands are sinking. Remember, until Mabo, TSI's were shunned by Australian Aboriginals & weren't entitled to any Benefits. After Mabo & Land Rights they were welcomed as brothers. Go figure. Ay.
If you think, that the people of the Torres Strait, think that they are above other people, then you don't know the first thing about people from the Torres Strait. All they want, is to advocate for their own place, their own ancestral lands. Something that they deserve to do and to have. They are well within their rights to advocate and fight for their own ancestral lands. They do not think they are above anyone. They are the most wonderful, beautiful people I have ever had the pleasure to get to know.
@@annagilda1 "Nice people" the Torres might be but my point is that it's nonsense to claim one citizen has more rights than another. The Torres Straight people might decide to stay where they are but they aren't more Australian than the next citizen. There's now the combination of reparations because of colonization and "climate change" being heaped on people with great onus on skin colour. It's as though everyone believes white people today owes them something. Torres people might be "nice" but I feel I need to say that other people don't owe them something. What help they get isn't payment of debts.
@@olsaffa7679 my argument is that at no point, have they ever claimed to be better than or have more rights than anyone else. That notion has come completely from.your own head.
@@annagilda1 "rights above someone else" comes from me and "better than" comes completely "from your head". To simplify again: nobody should be treated differently or have different rights simply because of skin colour or ancestry. I'm tired of the equity argument being used up until it's more convenient to use the "colonialism, first nations, redress, etc" arguments. Don't get me wrong; I'm not saying those types of anti-White racist arguments are explicitly used here, I'm just ensuring that it's not implicitly used either. I frankly have had enough of the "woke" anti-White racists' divisiveness. No wonder there's this dangerous buildup on the far right of racism and hate as a consequence. Equity without any ifs or buts in opportunities. That's the most fair humanity can be, without civilization falling apart.
@@olsaffa7679 cultural rights are held high in regard by the federal courts because it was those same courts originally who passed legislations direct towards First Nations people committing genocide. White Australia has placed in its own constitution to protect culture and therefore by not meeting climate agreement to lower emissions and transfer to renewables they are still committing genocide. Climate change affects everyone, but those who live traditonally generally dont contribute to emmissions and have no interest in abandoning their heritage and lifestyle. This is just one of many stories that has been made international. The Australian government will always hide what they can but can't mistreat First Nations people in the eye of the world.
I don’t think TSI people consider themselves Australian or even indigenous Australians. Why are they even considered along side mainland Aboriginal people? Don’t they have their own government?

Living less than 5 meters above sea level is no longer an option if you want to survive future storms.

Too much anecdotal evidence used in these presentations. Things like like seasonal and decadal trends get left out to push an agenda.

Nonsense if you believe you, or anyone, has a right above someone else, simply because of skin colour or ancestry.

@@faddyhossain6127 So they couldn’t possibly be from Australia as Australia is the closest country to them? Is that what you’re saying?
Australia is a big country why crying fo that some land move some were nature clam his territory
Because that’s our home ya weak dog
They have been brainwashed into thinking that humans did this. The climate is always changing, we were in an ice age 10,000 years ago
How ignorant.
We can't just move, its our cultural grounds and home, we can't just move onto another territory like that
Their ppl have lived on those islands for 60 thousand years.. "just move" is ignorant to say.
