Original Note:
Misleading claim. The Uluru Statement from the Heart was not originally Australian. The wording was lifted from a 1975 ruling of the International Court of Justice that concerned the people of the Western Sahara, by jurist Nicolas Bayona-Ba-Meya and Fouad Ammoun. https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/legal-affairs/uluru-statement-from-the-heart-of-africa/news-story/c1e5fbd866a8360622ebeadb8df17dde https://www.heraldsun.com.au/blogs/andrew-bolt/plagiarism-uluru-statement-from-a-congolese-heart/news-story/d315bb99c166c13d93fc1e21246fcb5d https://www.skynews.com.au/opinion/peta-credlin/uluru-statement-plugged-in-and-imported-from-the-republic-of-zaire/video/9074c29d618cacb7c30d7e18367b9cba https://quadrant.org.au/opinion/aborigines/2022/08/mobutu-authenticite-and-the-dark-heart-of-the-uluru-statement/ https://www.spectator.com.au/2023/04/the-uluru-statement-from-the-heart-and-the-voice/
