Why does Mainstream media report what Dutton and Howard think? But not Rudd or Gillard. Why are they regarded as our seeming gurus, men of wisdom, and sounding boards in the press telling us the British invasion of Australia made First Nation peoples equal and better off. When it’s blatant bullshit. In 2023 proportionately Australian Aboriginals are not only the most incarcerated people on the planet but for the least offences.
Of course we all understand that Tony Abbott’s views are the sort of news that’s worth reporting. As someone who was once Prime Minister of this fair land, his opinion is worth a lot more than mine or yours because we’re all equal and to set up something like the Voice is, well, it’s just like Apartheid in South Africa because having the Indigenous population given that sort of recognition in the Constitution would lead to people like Mr Abbott being just as oppressed as all those poor South Africans who were forced to stick to Whites Only areas.
