In their defence the moment an Indigenous leader engages in anything other than peace, love, and harmony rhetoric they are treated as an 'angry black' and taken less seriously. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't type situation.
Yeah, you're right. It's easy for me to type it on a keyboard, and totally different living it.
I'm half frustrated and half in despair that I just can't see a way forward. With the way the Voice campaign went, my god, just imagining the level of FUD around a treaty hurts.
Honestly I'm a pretty cynical person but even I overestimated how ready Australia was to discuss these issues. Misinformation certainly played a role in how things played out but I can't help but think there wasn't already quite fertile ground within our culture for it to grow. I personally think if people couldn't really get behind the voice then treaty is going to be very tough.
