“What Aboriginal people ask is that the modern world now makes the sacrifices necessary to give us a real future. To relax its grip on us. To let us breathe…” This quiet ask became the Uluru Statement’s gracious invitation to walk together to a better future for all. That such modesty and generosity was so cruelly snubbed was a shameful betrayal of our Indigenous peoples’ faith in the fundamental decency of their fellow citizens, their hope for a future in which their children can flourish, and their love for a shared idea of Australia in which they can take their rightful place.
