Invasion!

Uncle Bennelong: We will decide who comes to this country.

The Cadigal Council last night warned residents that an invasion fleet was due to land at Eora country some time today.

The fleet, believed to be from a far distant land, comprises at least 10 ships. Forward scouts have suggested the invaders practise a form of slavery, and some of the seafarers are in chains.

‘We will keep an open mind about the invaders,’ Uncle Bennelong said late last night.

‘We will welcome them with the due courtesy of the Eora people. But should they pose a threat to our way of life we will deal with them accordingly. We will decide who comes to this country.’
