Dear friends,
Marcia Langton is correct. From my white liberal view, and keen on the conversation between European philosophies and Aboriginal philosophies, if it is Yes, Australians would have achieved recognition as far as it can go by voting (the rest is advice and legislation); if it is No, like Langton, I see no way forward. As a white man, in such a negative case, I wept with a black woman. I wept with humanity.
Kind regards,
Neville.
