Ingqungquthela yesihlanu ye-Independent and Peaceful Australian Network (IPAN) Network isanda kubanjelwa eDarwin ngomhla ka-2-4 Agasti. Ngibe khona, ngibona ukuthi kubalulekile ukufaka isandla futhi ngimele iNew Zealand, ngisekelwa ngu World Beyond War kanye Nomkhankaso Wezisekelo Zokulwa.
Kwakuyinkomfa yami yesithathu ye-IPAN futhi kulokhu bekungukuphela kweNew Zealander. Ngicelwe ukuthi ngivuselele ingqungquthela ngokwenzeka enhlanganweni yezokuthula e-Aotearoa, eNew Zealand, futhi ngikhulume nangokubaluleka kokubhekana nemiphumela yokubangelwa ikoloni kanye nokusebenzisana ngokubambisana nangokuzinza.
I-mihi yami ne-pepeha emfushane eThe Reo Maori yahlangana nabadala bendawo, futhi ngangiqeda inkulumo yami ngiguqulwa yi-'Blowing in the Wind 'eholwa ngumlingani ngokubamba iqhaza kwezithameli, njengoba sivame ukwenza ekhaya.
Ingqungquthela ibinesihloko esithi 'Australia at the Cross Roads'. I-IPAN yinhlangano esemncane kodwa esebenzayo eyakhiwa yizinhlangano ezingaphezu kwe-50 ezivela emasontweni, kwizinyunyana kanye namaqembu okuthula, ahlelelwe ukukhuthaza ukwesekwa okuphansi kwe-Australia kuya ezinhlelweni zempi zaseMelika. Kwenzeka lesi sikhathi eDarwin ukunikeza amandla abantu bendawo abangabaza inqubomgomo yamanje yokubamba isizinda esikhulu samasosha aseMelika abonakala kakhulu kule ndawo.
Ababambiqhaza abacishe babe yi-100 beza bevela nxazonke ze-Australia, kanye nezivakashi ezivela eGuam naseWest Papua. Okugqamile engqungqutheleni kwaba umbhikisho onamandla ongama-60 ngaphandle kwaseRobertson Barracks owawucela ama-2500 US Marines ahlaliswe lapho ukuba ahambe. Enesihloko esithi 'Nikeza' i-Boot 'umqondo bekuwukubethula ngesithombe esibunjiwe sebhuthi esenziwe nguNick Deane kanye namanye amaTim Tams - intandokazi ngokusobala - kodwa ngeshwa akekho noyedwa owayethola ukwamukela izipho.
Ukulandelana kwezikhulumi kwakuhlaba umxhwele futhi kwakhiwa phezu kwezindikimba zeminyaka yamuva nje.
I 'Welcome to Country' yanikezwa u-Ali Mills obemele abantu baseLarrakia obabambe iqhaza empilweni yesiko likaDarwin iminyaka eminingi, futhi umama wakhe uKathie Mills, obambe iqhaza, uyimbongi eyaziwayo, umbhali wokudlala kanye nengoma.
Kunzima ukufingqa konke okuqukethwe kombuthano onzima futhi othokozisayo, kepha kulabo abanesikhathi kungenzeka bukela okuqoshiwe.
Ingqungquthela igubhe ngempumelelo yomkhankaso we-International Campaign Wokuqeda Izikhali Zenuzi ekusunguleni iSivumelwano Sobumbano Sezwe lonke esisayinwe amazwe e-122, kepha hhayi yi-Australia esikubeka phansi engxenyeni enkulu nomakhelwane bayo abaningi. UDkt Sue Wareham wethule umbiko wabo wakamuva onesihloko esithi 'Khetha Ubuntu' futhi waletha nendondo yeNobel Peace Prize ukuze bonke bazobona (bona isithombe).
U-Lisa Natividad, ummeli waseNdiya uGuam Chammoro, obekhulume engqungqutheleni ye-IPAN edlule, ubengenazo izindaba ezinhle zokubika kusukela okokugcina ngeshwa. IGuam njengamanje iyindawo engafinyelelwanga yase-US yize abantu bakhona bengenamalungelo okuvota lapho. Ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yendawo yayo elawulwa nguMnyango Wezokuvikela waseMelika eye yaletha izinkinga eziningi zezemvelo nezemvelo kubandakanya ukubonakaliswa kwemisebe nokungcola okuvela kugwebu lokucisha umlilo lwe-PFAS, kanye nokukhipha abantu ezindaweni zabo ezingcwele ngemikhuba yendabuko. Isibalo esidabukisayo kakhulu ukuthi ngenxa yokuntuleka kwemisebenzi yabantu abasha kulesi siqhingi abaningi babo bajoyina amasosha nemiphumela emibi kakhulu. Isibalo sabantu abasha abafa ngenxa yokubandakanyeka kwezempi siphezulu kakhulu, siphindwe kahlanu kunesilinganiso e-US.
UJordani Steele-John, uSenator omncane weGreen Party othathe izintambo kuScott Ludlam, uyisikhulumi esihlaba umxhwele futhi esenza isithombe njengokhulumela uMnyango Wezokuthula, Wezokuvikela kanye Nezindaba Zomdeni, ophinde abe yiPhothifoliyo Yezokuvikela. UJordani ubuke umkhuba wokukhazimulisa impi kunokuthi athuthukise ukuthula kanye nesifiso sakhe sokuxhasa ukuxazululwa kwezingxabano. Ukhulume ngenselelo enkulu yezinyathelo zokushintsha kwesimo sezulu esifundeni waphinde wagxeka kakhulu ukwehliswa kukahulumeni kwemali esetshenziselwe ezokuxhumana ebeka phansi ubudlelwano namanye amazwe.

Izinyathelo ezimbalwa ezinhle zaphuma engqungqutheleni kuhlanganisa nohlelo lokusungula inethiwekhi yezinhlangano, ikakhulukazi lezo ezise-Australia, New Zealand, Pacifica kanye nezizwe zaseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia, okuhloswe ngazo ukwaba ulwazi nokuma ndawonye njengabameli bezinjongo ezivunyelwene zokuthula, zenhlalo ubulungiswa nokuzimela, impi ephikisayo nezikhali zenuzi.
Ingqungquthela ibuye yavuma ukwesekwa kweKhodi Ehlangene Yokuziphatha Yasolwandle lwaseNingizimu China, isekela uMthethosisekelo we-UN kanye nesivumelwano se-Amity and Cooperation eSoutheast Asia, beseka abantu baseWest Papua naseGuam emzabalazweni wabo wenkululeko. Ngibuye ngavuma ukuxhasa umkhankaso we-ICAN wokunqanda izikhali zenuzi, nokuthi ngivume ukufunwa kwabantu bomdabu ngobukhosi nokuzinikela kwabo.
Ingqungquthela elandelayo ye-IPAN izokuba seminyakeni emibili edlule futhi ngiyoyincoma kanye nenhlangano kunoma ngubani onesifiso sokwenza umehluko esifundeni sethu, futhi ngibheke phambili ukuthi inethiwekhi yethu ehlanganyele izonikela kanjani ezingxoxweni nasezenzweni kulezi zikhathi ezinzima nezinzima .
