“[The] apology was celebrated worldwide, but not by all Coalition MPs. Some, including current leader Peter Dutton, displayed their contempt by conspicuously absenting themselves. Dutton, incidentally, had joined the Howard Government in late 2001 and supported all measures which destroyed Indigenous aspirations through its last six years.”

As my mum always reminded us ‘a leopard doesn’t change its spots’. Dutton will always be a lying racist turd.

Very good article from Sean Kelly in the SMH on a racist Australia

‘Perhaps the most telling moment of the entire campaign came early, when Peter Dutton said the Coalition would hold a referendum on recognition alone: “We went to the last election and a number of elections before that with that as our policy and that will be our policy going into the next election as well.”

‘A policy that has been on the books for years but never delivered: is there a greater symbol of the hollowness at the heart of the supposed goodwill of Australians towards Indigenous people? We want to help, we say, just tell us how! Oh, that’s not a good option. No, not that either. Your people are dying, you say? Let’s wait a while.

‘…Or as novelist Melissa Lucashenko, of Goorie and European heritage, said, “white Australia doesn’t want to give blackfellas anything, even when it’s nothing”.’
