This is the best summary I could come up with:
A Tasmanian Aboriginal elder says he has no intention of appearing in court — or participating in the "colonial" judicial system — on a charge of trespass for taking part in a protest against native forest logging.
Mr Everett was arrested and charged on March 19 in a native forest coupe in the Styx Valley in southern Tasmania, and was bailed to appear on June 3; a hearing he did not attend.
He does not intend to appeal against any sentence he receives — even if it results in a jail term — as he does not recognise any Australian court.
The Styx Valley protest was part of the Bob Brown Foundation's ongoing campaign against native logging across Tasmania.
Veteran environmentalist and former federal Greens senator Bob Brown himself is among them, and will appear in court in July to contest his charge.
Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre campaign manager Nala Mansell called on the charge against Mr Everett to be dropped.
