May Australia become a nation: |
truly founded on fairness by proper, BPLF recognition of our indigenous people, proper addressing of discrimination INCLUDING educating people all those who don't understand why dispossession causes problems; |
which genuinely understands and honours multiculturalism, rather than thinking imported Anglo-Saxon neo-christian culture is somehow "the norm", or somehow more desirable than multiculturalism. |
In the spirit of the car sticker from the USA which said "Welcome to America. Now speak Cherokee", may we consider "Welcome to Australia. Now speak Kulin (or whatever language was spoken in your area)." |
