Jacinta Nampijinpa said” When you don’t pull into line those who want to protest on the steps of the Opera House, when you embark on an activity that divides a nation by race and you play into identity politics.”
This is the environment that’s created for this kind of nonsense to occur.
Anthony Albanese’s handling of Indigenous affairs in the 12 months that followed the referendum have served as an indictment on his character as leader of this great country.
Since winning power in the May 2022 election, the Prime Minister made it clear the referendum was going to be his defining political moment.
It’s not the failure of the referendum that has been the Prime Minister’s downfall, It is his response to it.
Mr Albanese has failed to respect the wishes of the Australian people in the referendum vote, given that there are Voice and treaty-like negotiations happening across the country in states and territories.
What does it mean to respect someone’s wishes if you persistently allow the advancement of things against those interests when you have the power to stop them.
The past 12 months have left no room for doubt, that Albanese does not have the character required to lead this country into the future.
We should never feel like we’re in a country now that is divided along the lines of race. It should never have got to this point.
