Author Louis A Coutts announces the publication of ‘The Stacked Deck and the Myth of Sovereignty’
MELBOURNE, Australia, July 6, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Louis A Coutts returns to the publishing scene with the release of “The Stacked Deck and the Myth of Sovereignty” (published by Balboa Press AU).
This book presents a compelling legal proof of the sovereignty of Australia’s First Nations People. It explores the key decisions over more than a century in the High Courts of Australia and England that have validated the dispossession of the original inhabitants of the country. In the light of the research in this book, if contested by the Indigenous people, the High Court would be compelled to recognize their sovereignty. This changes the dialogue in Australia from the Indigenous people seeking recognition from the current institutions, to white Australia seeking acceptance from the Indigenous people.
An excerpt from the book reads:
After months of research, I came to the conclusion there is no impediment to the indigenous people challenging the validity of sovereignty in our courts, and if they were permitted to do so, they would be able to establish that sovereignty never legally passed to the Crown.
“The Stacked Deck and the Myth of Sovereignty” will appeal to legally minded people and anyone with an interest in Indigenous affairs. To purchase a copy, visit https://www.balboapress.com/en-au/bookstore/bookdetails/849143-the-stacked-deck-and-the-myth-of-sovereignty.
