That a majority of Australians might vote no to something so graciously proposed by a majority of Indigenous people is a depressing prospect. That such an opportunity for healing through a constitutional enshrinement of the voices of Aboriginal people (so that those voices will no longer be subject to the political whims and agendas of successive governments) could possibly be rejected by the rest of us who are so enshrined, or that we might simply slam the door on such an extraordinary gesture of peace and reconciliation, hardly bears thinking about.
