He claimed over the weekend that:
"We remain committed toMakarrata, that powerful Yolngu word gifted to the nation, for coming together after a struggle. And we will continue to engage in good faith with leaders and communities to decide what the next steps should be at a national level.”
Sounds harmless doesn't it? But so was the Voice until we dug deeper. The truth is Makarrata has a dark meaning, and a darker past. The practice of makarrata means a spear penetrating, usually the thigh, a person that has done wrong. This action renders them incapable of hunting, walking, running. Makarrata is used to maim them, to settle them down and calm them. To render them harmless and useless. And this, a metaphorical Makarrata, is what Albanese wants for our country. The Federal Government has earmarked $30 million in taxpayer dollars to further this agenda. I say enough is enough. Bob, will you stand with me again to help stop the Makarrata Commission in its tracks? We defeated the dangerous Voice. We need to defeat this too. Share this critical message with family and friends.
Defending our values,
Henry Pike MP Federal Member for Bowman
