The Uluru Statement From the Heart , with its reasoned call for constitutional recognition, has become such a politicised issue that it is easy to forget what a beautiful piece of writing it is. It is not even 500 words, but within it is a world: the struggle, tragedy and dignity of one of the world’s oldest living cultures.It discusses the ancestral ties of First Nations peoples to the land, unextinguished by colonisation. It talks about children stolen and incarcerated.
The Prime Minister loves to talk about the “Canberra bubble” and its irrelevance to the lives of everyday Australians. I wonder if he’s noticed the bubble is spreading and enveloping more aspects of our lives, so that little is too sacred anymore to be politicised in the vilest way. A close second was Greens senator Jordon Steele-John who used his Senate platform to call Liberal and Labor politicians “arsonists” over their support for the “big stick” energy legislation – a long bow even for the politically desperate.
Elsewhere, the quiet is spreading and it’s starting to feel eerie: talk about climate change during the bushfires was treated as a ghastly breach of an invisible etiquette code, with politicians behaving like characters from a Harry Potter book who fear naming the saga’s arch villain.
