SELF-DETERMINATION FOR A DISTINCT COLONY OF THE CROWN NORFOLK ISLAND

That this House supports the right of self-determination of Norfolk Island, which was until recently a limited self-governing territory attached initially to the UK and then to Australia, but was always a distinct colony of the British crown; calls for the self-determination of Norfolk Island in line with the UN charter on decolonization to which Australia is a signatory and which the UK has enacted for the people of the British Overseas Territories; and deplores the attempts by Australia to re-colonise the people of Norfolk Island and obstruct them from achieving the internationally accepted process of self-determination.
