Summary:In the time since the passage of the Norfolk Island Legislation Amendment Act 2015 in the Australian Parliament, Norfolk Island has endured the most tumultuous years since its settlement by the HMS Bounty descendants from Pitcairn Island in 1856. These legislative actions precipitated the formation of the grassroots organization Norfolk Island People for Democracy; a petition to the United Nations by the nipd together with the Norfolk Island Council of Elders for the Island to be listed as a non-self-governing territory under the aegis of the United Nations. Here, Nobbs details the year under review in Norfolk Island.
