It was reported in my local newspaper how an Aboriginal father out having a coffee with his family overheard two elderly ladies at a nearby table being somewhat discriminatory about indigenous Australians. As he left the restaurant he ordered a pot of tea for the two ladies and had it delivered to their table with a message that it was from the Aboriginal family that had been sitting near them. Apparently it caused the ladies considerable embarrassment.
Well done Aboriginal dad. A peaceful, constructive way to make a telling point about the discrimination that lingers in Australian society.
Come on fellow Australians get over it and recognise the wonder that resides in the psyche of your country's First Australians, who have a deep spiritual affinity with this land that we need to understand and embrace.
