    We are delighted to receive notice that from this month of March onward, there will be a doubling of the monthly transfer of SYD to all Yidindji Chamber of Commerce Financial Members. This transfer will happen automatically and affect all existing Members as well as all new Y.C.C. Members. 

    Please read the formal announcement by the Office of Trade of the Sovereign Yidindji Government below.

    With warmest regards,

    Mama Devi,
    President, Yidindji Chamber of Commerce


    I am thrilled to announce a pioneering initiative by the Office of Trade of the Sovereign Yidindji Government aimed at bolstering our economy and fostering collaboration within our territory and beyond.

    As we strive towards economic prosperity and social cohesion, it is imperative that we recognise and support those who stand as pillars of our nation.

    I am delighted to unveil our plan to double the monthly transfer of Sovereign Yidindji Dollars (SYD) to members of the Chamber of Commerce who steadfastly uphold and promote the interests of our beloved Nation through their monthly subscription to the YCC.

    This bold move is a testament to our commitment to reward dedication and encourage active participation in shaping our collective future.

    By injecting additional SYD into the hands of those who actively contribute to our economy, we aim to catalyse growth, innovation, and sustainability within our local businesses.

    This initiative not only serves as a tangible expression of gratitude to our supportive members but also as a catalyst for greater economic vitality and prosperity for all Yidindji citizens.

    As we embark on this transformative journey, I urge all citizens to embrace this opportunity to engage in our economic landscape, to collaborate, and to strive for the further advancement of our Nation.

    Together, let us build a future that is prosperous, inclusive, and brimming with opportunity for generations to come.

    Thank you for your unwavering dedication to the Yidindji Nation, this change affects March 2024 subscriptions onwards.

    May Gayaburra bless & protect you all, in the everlasting name of Yeshua Hamashiac.

    Saint Murrumu of Walubara,
    Foreign Affairs & Trade Minister,
    Sovereign Yidindji Government.

    Thank you everyone for your understanding in the case involving the Chief Superintendent of the Yidindji Police. We deeply thank those who attended and demonstrated their support Please find a short summary of the outcome below:

    The Attorney General described the court as ‘very civilized’. There was no hostility from the prosecutor or from the magistrate. The outcome was rather bizarre considering the charges by QPS. After a long session both the prosecutor & the magistrate were falling over themselves to lighten Matthew’s sentence as much as possible.

    The Magistrate was very clear in stating that the Yidindji Nation is not a Sovereign Citizens Movement as claimed by QPS. However, there will be continued legal issues arising on this path until a formal Treaty is arrived at.

    The Magistrate was also very clear in stating that Matthew is of good character and clearly not going to cause anyone harm. It was very positive in that he acknowledged that Matthew was standing as Bilbara (Matthew’s Yidindji identity), despite the fact that the QLD court itself is unable to see anything but QLD law.

    For over a year Matthew has had the threat of jail time, massive fines and a criminal record hanging over him. Yet surprisingly he was offered a sweet deal composed of light community service with a clean record and clean slate. The court was so very nice about it that it really seemed they wanted the whole thing to go away.

    We were extremely proud of Matthew’s stance. While defending himself in the hearing, he succeeded in highlighting the incredible work and achievements of the Yidindji Nation.

    One disappointment was that Matthew’s Yidindji ID & Police Instruments of Government were not returned. They were put on show as evidence but not given back. The police badge, uniform etc are not Matthews to give away or to lose. They are actually the property of the Yidindji Government. The Minister of Foreign Affairs will be chasing these up from the Commonwealth of Australia and the State of Queensland.

    While this case may be done and dusted for Matthew (if he takes up the Community Service order), it is important to understand that for the Nation, this is just the start. The issue of co-existing sovereignties has not been addressed and there is still a long way to go. Meanwhile, we are very grateful to Matthew for taking the stand he did. The Yidindji Nation is here & it cannot be denied. More to come…

    Thank you once again for your support. We trust you are having a magical start to the week and we look forward to catching up soon!

    With warmest regards,

    Mama Devi,
    President, Yidindji Chamber of Commerce

    What an extraordinary day! It was a joy connecting with all members, citizens and friends who attended Yidindji National Day... Meeting diplomats & minsters from other Sovereign Nations, Chamber Members & new faces too!! Celebrating our togetherness was the BEST start to 2024!!

    The launch of the Chandelier Healing Centre in Gimuy was postponed in honour of local elder Aunty Rose Richards who recently passed away at Gimuy Hospital. A beloved figure who worked tirelessly for the wellbeing of those in need (particularly taking a stand for the healthcare of pregnant women and vulnerable elders in the community), Auntie Rose's death created ripples!  We gathered together with Binanga Yidindji (the Cultural Chamber of the Yidindji Government) to honour her and hear from her daughter, the Health Minister Arela Djabugai.

    The second part of the morning was dedicated to hearing founder Angelique Spence share with our members on the opening of Chandelier Cairns - the private healing clinic which opened its door to Yidindji Citizens among a small select trusted community. We felt blessed to have access to such an advanced facility which includes the latest in EE-System technology and colonic irrigation among a number of modalities offered by Chandelier's practitioners. 

    Finally Yirrilam Gimuybara, the Minister for Education closed the day with an interactive game which demonstrated the importance of making choices which benefit the entire community... specifically in the financial realm. Our members saw the importance of working together & honouring the varying needs of individuals as we move forward with setting the foundation for the Yidindji economy.

    The launch of the Cultural Chamber of the Yidindji Government sets the scene for the development of the Health, Education and Arts sectors as well as the honouring of Spirit, Stories, Elders wisdom and the Yidindji Way. After launching the Chamber we gathered to share a meal together in the Gimuy Yidindji offices.

    Just has 'health' has been sabotaged by the 'health' industry, making the healing arts something removed from common knowledge which men, women and families must pay to access, a similar situation has come about when it comes to Law. The Legal system has appropriated the world of 'law' such that the general public must pay vast amounts to access a small part of that power. Reilley Johnes is providing an educational model with which the making of our own laws as an everyday  occurrence (being able to define boundaries and uphold our integrity in a simple and matter of fact way which is highly practical and usable even in a court of law) can be easily learnt. Our members were fortunate to get an inside glimpse as to what is possible and offered a special discount to try out the education.

    Reilley also shared with us regarding 'Claycrete' -  the brilliant invention which allows for the paving of driveways, private roads, dams, runways and you name it! This environmentally friendly liquid (when mixed into a minimum 2% clay soil) hardens into a water proof, root proof, track proof ROAD SURFACE able to withstand rain, sun & heavy traffic for years!! All the while maintaining that natural earthy look & being extremely affordable. More information can be found at www.claycreteglobal.com

    We were blessed to end the day with a presentation by our Chief Minister Gudju Gudju on the road forward for the Yidindji Nation and how this goes hand in hand with living in a sustainable intelligent way in harmony with Nature. The recording of this may be found here.

    The Y.C.C. wishes to thank the ACCOR Group for their kind hospitality. Our members & guests loved the beautiful venue & the genuine care provided by the staff at the Cairns Pullman Hotel! We could not have asked for more engaging speakers for the day: Citizens & Chamber Members Ngarra Charrua & Viko Sun and finally the Honourable Minister Murrumu of Wallubara.

    The exploration of technologies for the harmonization of dangerous radiation, methods to take advantage rather than remain fearful of the latest trend toward digital currency and the continuing endeavor of the Yidindji Nation to guarantee the privacy & well-being of its citizens were all necessary & timely topics to cover. Thank you also to the Yidindji Elders, diplomats & Ministers who joined us for the day. We very much appreciate you all :-)

    The Y.C.C. would like to thank Chief Minister Gudju Gudju & Cultural Affairs Minister Bumi Gimuybara for the wonderful talks they gave yesterday. As a collective we were deeply moved by what was shared and have come to a far more profound understanding of where we have come from and where we are going to. Now we know for sure that we are all on the same page. We are all moving in the same direction! This is truly precious. Thank you also to Darigan Lima (Minister of Home Affairs) for guiding the sessions so graciously and professionally. We look forward to working with you again. Finally Congratulations to all our new Citizens!! Well done :-)

    Paxton Technologies was kind enough to share the latest in Innovation with the Y.C.C this March. Our presenter Homeland Security Minister for the Githabul Nation, Brad Paxton, awed our audience with stories & the details of Paxton desalination & water purification systems ~ which do much more than what meets the eye! We cannot wait to collaborate further... The day culminated with the Minister of Trade launching "Yfi" -  a private communications & internet network in service to the Yidindji Nation.
