OPINION: Award-winning director Rachel Perkins says Uluru Statement a chance to end 'great Australian silence'

Inside this border was a statement seeking a national Indigenous representative body, national land rights legislation and a treaty to be negotiated between the federal government and Indigenous Australians.So, there we were, on January 26, 1988 with great expectations.

Their boomerangs clattering, the sound ricocheted off the sandstone underpass as we walked under the trainlines at Central Station. The promise, as Mandawuy Yunupingu and Paul Kelly wrote in their epic song Treaty, disappeared, like writing on the sand.Instead, we were given something else, something we did not ask for.

Bitter Harvest: The illusion of Aboriginal agriculture in Bruce Pascoe’s Dark Emu

How far back do we go. Aboriginals came from Africa/Asia didn't they? For centuries empires fought and took land as there own, brutal and horrific by any standards, and people settled in these lands. I don't get what the end game is here.

All the speeches at Ayers Rock just amounted to ‘identity politics for me but not for thee.’

King Island is known for cheese and golf, but it's cattle that rule the roostKing Island — a remote parcel of land halfway between Tasmania and Victoria — is building a reputation for award-winning cheeses and golf courses, but it's beef that keeps the community going. W-were did you think the cheese came from? Beef. The only real superfood. It's the only thing I eat and I've never felt better. I wonder if a vegan could survive a week on tofu alone. Where does the think cheese comes from?
