Frequently Asked Questions
Is Yidindji a separate Nation from Australia?
Yes, the Yidindji nation is a continuous pre-1770 indigenous nation that has not yet entered into a formal agreement with the Commonwealth of Australia. The Yidindji Nation’s sovereignty has never been ceded and or extinguished. Yidindji’s position has been supported by various International Instruments like the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and more recently the expert panel responsible for writing in the Uluru Statement.
Can I become a Yidindji Citizen?
Yes, citizenship is free. There are a few steps required. If you reside on the Yidindji territory then the process is simple, provide state issued photo ID, a written statement on why you want to become part of the Yidindji story & a police background check. This is in accord with Article 33 of UNDRIP:
1. Indigenous peoples have the right to determine their own identity or membership in accordance with their customs and traditions. This does not impair the right of indigenous individuals to obtain citizenship of the States in which they live.
2. Indigenous peoples have the right to determine the structures and to select the membership of their institutions in accordance with their own procedures.
Do I have to be Indigenous to join?
No. The Sovereign Yidindji Government is the administration arm of the Yidindji society. The Tribal Council of Elders established the SYG as a way for people to participate in the Yidindji State and citizenship is the widely accepted mechanism.
Can I register my business with Yidindji?
Yes, once you become a citizen, you may be eligible for a Yidindji Business Number (YBN).
Do I have to pay tax on the Yidindji territory?
There is no income tax on the Yidindji territory. However, it is important not to confuse our laws with the current taxation laws and or obligations of foreign jurisdictions. For example, if you have an Australian registered business then you must uphold the laws that govern that legal sphere.
Can I get a passport or international travel document?
Yes, all new citizens are issued with a digital passport. This is in accord with Article 36 of the UNDRIP:
1. Indigenous peoples, in particular those divided by international borders, have the right to maintain and develop contacts, relations and cooperation, including activities for spiritual, cultural, political, economic and social purposes, with their own members as well as other peoples across borders.
2. States, in consultation and cooperation with indigenous peoples, shall take effective measures to facilitate the exercise and ensure the implementation of this right.
Can I get a land title issued from the Yidindji Government?
Yes, the Federal Court of Australia acknowledges & recognises that the Yidindji Nation has a system of land tenure, and that the Yidindji own the land pursuant to Yidindji laws. Our government is proactive in providing a mechanism that promotes security of tenure. It is important that the Yidindji land is correctly described.
Is the Yidindji Nation anti-Australia?
No, not at all. One of the very first laws passed in the Yidindji parliament was the “Protection of the Commonwealth of Australia” Act 2014. The Sovereign Yidindji Government was established to help settle the past & secure the future. In 2017, members of the Yidindji cabinet hand delivered to the Australian government a Yidindji ‘roadmap to a treaty’.
What is Yidindji's position on Sovereign Citizens?
The Yidindji Nation is very concerned about the ‘Sovereign Citizen’ movement. We considered it as a danger to not only the Yidindji Nation and the Commonwealth of Australia. Psuedo-law is a real problem for everyone.
