    As I’ve said, they’ll need to take the optical damage.

    So as you’ve said, you’re not comfortable determining indigenous Australians’ future, but you’ll block the change supported by 80% of indigenous Australians, formed at the Uluru statement from the heart it because it isn’t good enough for you - how on earth do you rationalise that obvious, massive contradiction?

        I’m going to need you to join the dots on that one, champ. It’d be great if you explained the massive contradiction in your statements while you’re at it.
