Australia celebrates NRW from 27 May to 3 June.

With a theme of 'In This Together' Chief Executive Officer (NRW), Karen Mundine, has said that Australia’s ability to move forward as a nation relies on individuals, organisations and communities coming together in the spirit of reconciliation. “When we come together to build mutual respect and understanding, we shape a better future for all Australians.” 2020 marks Reconciliation Australia 20 years of operations.

In her address Karen said; “Much has happened since the early days of the people’s movement for reconciliation, including greater acknowledgement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander rights to land and sea; understanding of the impact of government policies and frontier conflicts; and an embracing of stories of Indigenous success and contribution,”

“Throughout this time we have also learnt how to reset relationships based on respect. While much has been achieved, there is still more work to be done and this year is the ideal anniversary to reflect on how far we have come while setting new directions for the future.”

What are we being admonished to reconcile to?

As soon as the real Indigenous & the more numerous pretend indigenous accept the newcomers, reconciliation will be achieved.
The greater majority of newcomers have already bent ar$e over backwards for over a hundred years so, when will enough be acknowledged as reconciliation achieved ?
Meanwhile those non-indigenous morons who always give cause to racial tension will need to be dealt with way more harshly !

Like everything else to do with the Aboriginal industry, nothing and nobody gets reconciled during the week, or at any other time. Of course, if anything worked, the blactivists would be working and living like most other Australians - they would have to, because all the grants, 'rights', faux sympathy, and huge amounts of money would have been stopped.

Nah. Couldn't have that.

Individual "Meanwhile those non-indigenous morons who always give cause to racial tension will need to be dealt with way more harshly". So what do you suggest the usual commo flogging, deportation and shooting? Boiling in oil? hanging, drawing & quartering? Give us an idea how your hurt feelings can only be assuaged.
On another tack can only non-indigenous people be capable of this horrendous crime?
What about my feelings?

Dear Paul,

In this country we need to first reconcile ourselves
with our past and how we mistreated Aboriginal people.

In the words of Aboriginal personality Ernie Dingo,
"Reconciliation is not for Aboriginal people. Reconcile
the injustices that have been done to Aboriginal people,
sit down, think about it, get it out of the way and see
what can be done to fix things."

This requires support from official institutions and
strong leaders.

The government formed the Council for Aboriginal
Reconciliation
many decades ago to advance a national process of
reconciliation. Among the Council's tasks was to address
Aboriginal disadvantage and address aspirations in
employment, health, infrastructure and economic development.

It identified 8 key issues in the Reconciliation processs:

1) Understanding country
2) Improving relationships 3) Valuing cultures
4) Sharing history 5) Addressing disadvantage
6) Custody level 7) Aboriginals controlling their own
destiny 8) Formal documentation of the process.

The Council's formation was an acknowledgement of the
past and ongoing failure of government policy to recognise
and address the cultural social and economic needs of
Aboriginal Australians.

It was also the recognition that progress also requires
a sea-change in the understanding and involvement of
non-Aboriginal Australians because court decisions,
laws and political involvements make the reconciliation
process that much harder.

We can't continue to do what we've been doing and expect
different results.
