29th August 2008, From and on behalf of the Premier of Queensland, Anna Blight.In relation to your comments regarding the use of cannabis, there is clear evidence that cannabis use can harmful to the physical, psychological and social health and wellbeing of users.

12th December 2008 To The Premier of Queensland, Anna.

Note. Australians first botanist Joseph Banks upon discovering of this plant, categorised it as related to the Cannabinoids family. Which was used in special spiritual ceremonies of thousand of years by our people, Unfortunately, the Laws of Queensland as prohibit this use of cannabis. Traditional (law) Lore being translated "if it came from the earth and grew in your country it was yours, to use and care for' It is most important to uphold the old traditional (law) Lore, as to protect the people, respecting the Lore.Considering, there has never been a lethal over does of cannabis recorded in humans world wide .and for some years we have requested Governments for Australian to forward any unquestionable evidence that supports cannabis prohibition. (nothing received to date) .

We ask if you could copy and pass around your community, this abuse of power must be stopped, We are only asking for small thing, as to let Aboriginal (law) Lore of the land to be understood and respected by all.

Part 2. Lore and Order in Aboriginal Community's of QueenslandRe: Request The Act the Queensland Parliament the lawful power to make Laws for the Aboriginal people of Queensland.Enclosed copies of letters Dated:-

4th January 2010 To The Premier of Queensland, Anna Blight, I have been requested to ask you to clarify (forward) the Act, if any, that gives the Queensland Parliament the proper lawful power to make laws for peace, order and good Government for the Aboriginal People of Queensland. and to also clarify the Courts Jurisdiction over the Aboriginial people of Queensland .

11th February 2010 From and on behalf The Premier of Queensland, Anna Blight, referred to section 2 of the Constitution Act 1867 (Old) states; "Within the said Colony Her Majesty shall have power by the advice and consent of the said Assembly to make laws for peace welfare and good government of the colony in all cases whatsoever"

17th May 2010 To The Premier of Queensland, Anna Blight, Sadly, it appears that the issue concerning the Courts Jurisdiction over the Aboriginal people has been overlooked. ..and Considering the Act 1867, which makes no reference to the Aboriginal people at all, as that time Terra-Nullis was advocated by the legal profession which remained in vogue up until the fiction of terra nullius was rejected by the High Court in Mabo Case, 1992.

23 June 2010 From and on behalf The Premier of Queensland, Anna Blight.. For a more detailed response to your questions. however, this matter has been referred to the Honourable Cameron Dick MP, Attorney-General and Minister for Industrial Relations for his consideration and reply direct to you ....also been referred to the Honourable Desley Boyle MP. Minister for Local Government and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships for there information.

It is of interest to note that the Premier has referred the issues to other Ministers, Surely the requested documents are within the easy reach of the Premier Office, as assumed by general public. Accountability is now a must for all.

It is most urgent the traditional (Law) Lore and belifes are upheld, in matters were no other has suffered, any damage or loss. Respect the Lore

Yours faithfully
