Boy the heat is on the current Federal Government over indigenous affairs. The PM is clawing back from a poor report on closing the gap and indicating to we the great unwashed that more has been achieved recently.
Bill Shorten the leader of the opposition is applying pressure by offering to be bipartisan on indigenous affairs but indicating that a Labor government would not wait around if this is not forthcoming. He is offering that a Labor Government would give serious consideration to the Uluru recommendation of a representative aboriginal body to advise parliament. Further they would consider compensation for the wrings of the past.
The next federal election is not that far off and any party that does not have in its platform serious policies on indigenous affairs is going to be in trouble.
Roll on a republic where we can start afresh and be as one people in the Republic of Australia.
Is a new and huge petition needed?
May the Force be with us for achieving true reconciliation!
