What I can’t get about Stan Grant is that he embraces that greatest tool of colonialism- Christianity and he can’t recognise that every significant shift to right the wrongs has been made by the Australian Labor party and opposed by the conservatives. Yindyang Yarra dharray. Gari Yala. That's my language. Do you understand what I am saying?

It seems to me that Albo and Labor are acting from the right motives and moving forward incrementally in the process of empowering First Nations people. And yet the right are trying to tie him to some mysterious conspiracy to disempower Australians and the far left claim he is stopping First Nation Sovereignty. The guy is just trying to make common sense achievable progress.

From listening to Dan Tehan on ABC’s Radio National this morning, it’s clear that the Liberal Party’s strategy to defeat is to muddy the waters by demanding specific detail in the wording of the proposed clause. The contents of the aren’t exactly well known, which is what the reactionaries are banking on. We need an education campaign on the actual inclusions (& omissions) in the constitution (eg no political parties, no cabinet)
