No less than SKY has reported that neither Peter Dutton nor Jacinta Price will accept their invitation to attend the Garma Festival, that despite the offer of transport to and from the event aboard Albanese's RAAF plane:
"
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton will not attend 2023 Garma Festival, rejecting calls from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese "

At least Dutton's consistent:
. Boycotted Kevin Rudd's Apology to Stolen Generations - albeit he now says he got that wrong.
. Supported John Howard's ill-conceived termination of ATSIC - albeit he claims he now supports a legislated '
Voice' for First Nations Peoples.
. Supported the Liberal Party's sickening military interventions into Aboriginal communities.
. Supported the Coalition's decision to reject the '
Uluru Statement from the Heart' when Malcolm Turnbull was PM.
. Leapt at the opportunity to lead the "NO!" campaign against Albanese's '
Voice to Parliament' referendum.
. Now reported by MSM as refusing to attend the largest annual gathering of Frist Nations Peoples - the Garma Festival.
It's no surprise to me that Dutton's determined to prevent the formal recognition of Australia's First Nations Peoples in our Colonial Era Constitution.
