Our Indigenous were/are considered not to be
part of that group. Sadly.

Hi Foxy

Hi Maverick,

Prof. Marcia Langton has pointed out that for too long
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people had to
tolerate a "type of structural racism that treats us as a race."

"All arguments against the Voice are based on the concept
that we're a race of people and that no race should have more
recognition than another. That is complete furphy."

"We're not a race - we're over 600 cultural groups - this was
our land until 1788."

"We3're not a race. We're the people of this land. We ask
for decency, a rightful place in the nation."

We the Lidia Liberation Front

as a "cultural group".

Thank you Foxy

Hi Maverick,

Speak for yourself.

Senator Thorpe I'm sure is quite capable of speaking
for herself.

Don't you oppress me.
