So Canada, NZ, and South Africa are all Apartheid Nations according to Australians who refuse Indigenous recognition. Indigenous Australians were the first people here and were simply overrun, killed, enslaved, and regarded as worthless fauna. They weren’t Invaders, settlers, or colonisers. They weren’t immigrants. They were the people of this land. Recognition of that fact is a common element of all other Colonized nations on the planet except in Australia. Just as recognition of Climate change is common to most of the world’s nations except for Australia. Why is that?
What these exceptions have in common and the rest of the world doesn’t is the LNP is the antithesis to what the general population of Australia thinks. They alone are the cause of division in our Democracy, not multicultural diversity along with an economic class divide.. It is the LNP which prefers to divide rather than unite us as it serves them and the minority they represent well politically. Their ideal is of course cultural assimilation which they readily define by pointing out the differences between them and us. Culture, Color, and Religion are basic triggers of hate and Peter Dutton has never been shy to point out those that don’t belong.
The fatuous attempts to depict a simple, straightforward Voice to Parliament as analogous to apartheid is divisive scaremongering at best, or a clear rejection – yet again – of the presence and participation of First Nations Peoples in our society, at worst. And a rejection of recognition of the original inhabitants of this land from its primary founding document, is a vote for their continued exclusion based on race. And that, Senator Hanson, is apartheid.
