You should maybe consider paying less attention to what others are doing and saying and look more upon that which you are doing and saying.
Nobody can control what others say or do, but you most certainly can control yourself.

Your words are a reflection of your own insecurities.

I know who I am. You don't.

You would not bother - if I wasn't a threat.

Extremism thrives on ignorance.

The only thing that will redeem our country is
inclusion and co-operation. That's why voting
YES is so important.

Even Bob Hawke disagrees with the racism in the voice:

Check with - Julian Leeser, Murray Gleeson, Simon
Birmingham, Bridget Archer, Karen Andrews, Paul Fletcher,
Andrew Brigg, Russell Broadbent and so many others.

Not everyone sees the racism that's being flouted by the
NO campaigners. They just may well find themselves on
the wrong side of history.

And, history is calling.

So, the Western Australian Cultural heritage laws were progressive, where land, forests, waterways, and beaches become controlled by aboriginal Elders who receive $160 p/h income for identifying cultural sites. This is part of the States role, and the Constitution will guard these laws. "This always was and always will be aboriginal land." It was stolen not by war but by colonizers settlement.

Closing the Gap might sound great, but it's completely unrealistic.

Let me give you an example...

Wutungurra is a small community in the Northern Territory of Australia. It is located 209.8 kilometres (130.4 mi) south-east of Tennant Creek. It has a population of 166 (2016 Census) and is on the country of the Alyawarr people.

How in the feck...
- Are we going to close the gap for people who want to live here?
http://www.google.com/maps/@-20.4058047,135.256866,65679m/data=!3m1!1e3?entry=ttu

What are we going to do?
Put in a Mater satellite hospital?
Build a local Tafe and a University?
Open a Woolies? Build a factory and create Jobs?
Harvey Norman? JB-HIFI? Bunnings Warehouse? Supercheap Auto?
McDonalds, KFC and Dominos Pizza?

You want to know why 'Closing the Gap' is a ridiculous policy?
- It's because the gap is UNCLOSEABLE.

No matter how much we give, you just would never be able to close the gap.
It sounds good and something admirable to aim for, but we equally have to accept THE UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTH, that its JUST NOT REALISTIC.

- The Gap is UNCLOSEABLE.
It might be admirable, but it's not viable.

If anyone disagrees, then speak now, give it your best shot or accept it and forever hold your peace.

Look, I want these people to get a fair go, and to have an opportunity for happy, fulfilling lives with the modern health facilities and comforts most of us enjoy and take for granted..

Why wouldn't I wish that for others?
- But it's just not realistic.
