It’s so easy to jump onto the Trump Equivalence bandwagon saying there’s good and bad on both sides when there’s clearly not. There is a distinguishable difference between right and wrong and that’s conveniently thrown out the window. Equivalence and postured neutrality under the current circumstance opens a larger can of worms that declares past history that has led us to our present status quo is fine. It’s over so it’s better not to do anything.

However, doing nothing has proven to be a moral and ethical dilemma unless of course, you don’t believe in the recognition of equality or Universal Human Rights. However, Peter Dutton maintains he does, but just not right now. So why not now Mr Dutton if this referendum is simply a moral and ethical issue more than just a political or technical one? Any second referendum could be held whenever true Rights and equality were believed achieved, and there was no longer any need for an Indigenous Voice. However, the data to data says otherwise. There is a need and it’s urgent. Listening to a Voice should be guaranteed for all most downtrodden in our Democracy at all times and written into our Constitution shouldn’t it?

It seems the party of Robert Menzies has lost its soul. Were he alive, the liberal Ming would no longer recognise the party that carries the liberal name but has morphed into a rabble consisting, with a few notable exceptions, of MAGA Trumpers, self-serving property owners and aspiring rich listers, and religious zealots at the loopy end of U.S.-style Christian evangelism.
