AUSTRALIA
One people. One Flag. One Destiny.
A Nation for a Continent and a Continent for a Nation
Edward Barton - First Prime Minister of Australia (1891 First Federal Convention)
Welcome to Foundation Australia.
This website is designed to provide education and information on Aboriginals and the history of the development of the land and nation that would become Australia.
Australia was created by the union of the British colonies as a result of Queen Victoria's Royal Proclamation which took effect on 1 January 1901.
The British formed colonies for the benefit and profitably of their empire. They did not bring their civilization, technology and expertise to distant lands in some benevolent generosity to the local inhabitants. The British were taking control on their own terms and for their own benefit.
The history of this nation is not the history of the continent and they should not be confused.
Australia was not created by the Aboringal hordes. Aboriginal culture does not enrich the life of our country. Australia did not incorporate any aspects of aboriginal law, religion or social relations into its institutional structures.
And yet through cultural sanctification and mythologizing Aboringal culture is now being endorsed as part of our common heritage relying on the acceptance by Australians through a forced sense of fabricated guilt or remorse.
History has been distorted, and confused with lies and hyperbole. History is no longer fact, it is a carefully curated and shaped narrative that seeks to defame this nation.
It is time to Defend and Be Seen to Defend our Australian Culture, History, and Institutions.
