It's on again! The Pollies are out and about and currently the polls have it neck a neck.
As part of this hive of activity the referendum to recognise Australia's first peoples in the Australian Constitution is under detailed discussion by a select group of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal persons.
I hope it gets done. I recently heard some of the select group discuss the progress of the referendum and was heartened.
I am confident that the recognition will occur but not so confident that things will change on the ground for those indigenous Australians still experiencing very adverse living conditions which in some cases are third world and a blight on our society.
