Social cohesion and white supremacy in Australia

"Australia does have a serious problem with social cohesion, but it’s no good pretending it’s recent."

"Since the voice to parliament referendum emboldened the right, racists and bots swarm like flies on a turd to any Indigenous topic."

"The terror and violence usually happens on a case-by-case basis these days."

"When the Bondi royal commission was announced, there were loud calls for anti-Indigenous racism to be addressed, as well as antisemitism. The racism we endure, is, after all, as Australian as meat pies and Holden cars."
