The White Australian Majority trampled on an Indigenous request 5 years in the making. ” Oh, I didn’t know” is simply a Racist cover”
Certainly, Dutton has demonstrated that disinformation, division and some outright lies can confuse and motivate large sections of the community.
“The giant Gulliver of Australian goodwill allowed itself to be immobilised by a hundred petty Lilliputian doubts and fears, turning five years of Yes into a decisive No.
“John Howard for instance, urged people to vote NO because of the need to ‘maintain the rage’. What in earth does the former prime minister have to be so angry about? What is about a disadvantaged minority comprising 3% of the population that demands a sustained national rage?”
Moreover, there is the question of trust. Before the last Federal election Scott Morrison topped the list of most distrusted Australian politicians. Peter Dutton came second. The rest of the top 10 were also Liberals.
Dutton looks as if he is set to take over the top place – much to the advantage of the Teals and Anthony Albanese.
