link to Minutes of Evidence - parliamentary inquiry into call for self-determination and land by Kulin people

Their fundamental demands were simple yet radical: as stated in their final petition – 

signed by Barak and forty-five men, women and children: 

"We want the Board and the Inspector, Captain Page, to be no longer over us. 

We want only one man here, and that is Mr. John Green, 

and the station to be under the Chief Secretary; 

then we will show the country that the station could self-support itself."
