Although people are polite about Noel Pearson's Sermon delivery style Noel answers written questions with great eloquence and honesty.

A "Noosa Today" article by Phil Jarratt is an interview with Noel "Noel Pearson: Up from the Mission"

8 December 2020 http://noosatoday.com.au/news/08-12-2020/noel-pearsonup-rom-the-mission/

It begins "Lawyer, academic, historian, land rights activist, advocate for social reform, provocateur … Noel Pearson, now 55"

Two of Noel's answers are:

"People of my generation were critical of mission history, whereas my father and grandfather who had grown up in it could see the truth of it, which is that if the missionaries had not come in at that point in our history, we would have been wiped out, literally

...In 1886, 13 years after the white people arrived in Cooktown, the missionaries found us and they found a wreckage. The tribes of the district were pretty much wasted, and the missionaries set up a refuge from the frontier."

About JOH BJELKE-PETERSON

"[Joh's] history with us preceded his political career. He actually helped relocate the mission back to Hope Vale in 1949. Our people were like the children of Israel – we’d been in exile in a strange land and we needed to go back to our homeland, to the promised land.

That was the way the elders saw it, in a religious context. But the problem was to get the land back, and this was where Joh played a pivotal role.

[Joh] flew over it, surveyed it, then organised the money to purchase the land and helped set up the process of re-establishing the mission on it. [Joh] was chairman of the Hope Valley Mission Board for 10 years until the late 1950s, when he got into Country Party politics. Our people had fond memories of Joh as a churchman who had supported us."

Watch out, Maverick, the truth can hurt particularly those who tell it.

Its like the Emperor's New Clothes, where little boy points out reality behind politically correct appearance.

Albanese's proposed Referendum will give the geen light to designating a favoured Race Under The Constitution.
