Dear XXXXXXXXX,
If there’s one lesson from thedefeat of the Voice that’s not been highlighted enough, it’s thatpeople didn’t just vote NO to a bad idea, they also voted NO topolicies of separation and racial grievance.
But corporates and universities and even this governmenthave spent the last nine months ignoring that lesson.
They’re continuing to prioritisewhat the activists want, not what’s good for Indigenouspeople.
Look at the University of New SouthWales (UNSW) who have announced they are pursuing what they call a“micro-treaty” between the university and its Aboriginal and TorresStrait Islander staff and students.
I won’t bore you with the detailsbut you could probably work them out yourself anyway because they’rethe same as every other reconciliation or treaty plan.A lot of words about listening and respect and healing, nota lot about better REAL outcomes.
Bizarrely for a university, though,the only mention about education is about recognising Indigenous knowledge and not, you know, doing the jobof educating Indigenous Australians.
Because that’s the lie at the heartof this separatist rubbish that the rejection of the Voice was about:Indigenous people don’t need to be treated differently.
The best way for IndigenousAustralians at UNSW to thrive and prosper is to get an educationthat’s just as good as every other student there.
They don’t need patronising pats on the head for beingAboriginal.
They need to learn the professional and technical skillsthat will help them succeed in modern Australia.
One of the great American civilrights wins was integrating the schools so black kids could get thesame education as white kids.
Now it seems in Australia we’retrying to re-segregate our educational institutions.
But of course that is the secretthe authorities at UNSW don’t want you to know: the reality is thismicro-treaty isn’t about Aboriginal students, it’s aboutthem.It’s so the UNSW leadership canfeel good about themselves without doing the hard work.
That’s the same thing that goes onwith Welcome to Countries.
Public Servants and employees atNGOs start doing them at their weekly meetings not because theyactually care, but because they want to look like “Good People” amongtheir peers.
Many of them mean well, just asthey did with the Voice, but in reality they are focusing on symbolicgestures and separatist policies based on race rather than justtreating Aboriginal people as normal human beings.
It’s time corporates and thegovernment got on with doing their jobs and stopped the condescendingsymbolism.
It’s not working and never will.
Focus on REAL solutions based onneed, not race.
That’s the only way things willchange.
Yours for REAL solutions,

Well said Jacinta.

Now for a full and comprehensive audit on where the ~$40B pa is going?

She is fairly representing her people who she wishes can improve their lot by education and make a valuable contribution to our modern economy, rather than pointlessly, negatively and endlessly revisiting a somewhat dark past.

Nothing positive can be achieved by endlessly dredging up grievances from distant past events. Move on.
