Senator Jacinta Price’s speech touching on colonisation sparked strong reaction among readers.
How can Jacinta Price say that colonisation has been good for Australia’s Indigenous people? Alcohol has destroyed communities, song lines and sacred sites have been mined, developed or detonated, children have been stolen from their families. Suicide and deaths in custody are tragically commonplace. Colonisation has only ever benefited the colonists.Invasion, frontier violence, massacres and disposition, loss of land, degradation of culture, destruction of sacred sites, and so much more.
The league will come to regret this mistake. It should as an organisation be ashamed of its unwillingness to sanction the hit on Brayshaw. The AFL needs to get its act together or it will see support for this game evaporate.Cricket authorities have made the wearing of helmets compulsory for batters, wicketkeepers and close-in fielders. Helmets do not impede a player’s ability to play freely and are now universally accepted everywhere.
In reaching its decision, the tribunal was asked to focus on factors such as whether Maynard was looking at the ball, whether there was ″malicious intent″, whether he could have taken action in a split second to avoid the collision, or whether Brayshaw might have inadvertently strayed into his path and caused the collision.
It’s also true that it’s not just in politics. The business world is replete with ″dog-eat-dog″ attitudes, reflecting less savoury, but common aspects of our culture. When policies are presented, the general response is not what’s best for all of us, but what’s best for me.

‘I’ve been racially abused’: Jacinta Price opens up while addressing the National Press ClubIndigenous Australians Shadow Minister Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has slammed the Albanese government’s Voice to Parliament saying there is no “genuine appetite” in Canberra to tell the truth or to hear the truth. Jacinta Nampijinpa Price addressed the National Press Club Thursday afternoon and detailed why she is against the Voice to Parliament and explained why the referendum would only further 'divide the nation”. “I’ve been told that by speaking out, by amplifying the voices of the victims and the vulnerable, by bringing attention to the rampant abuse and neglect that I’m repeating the words of the oppressor,” Ms Price said at the National Press Club on Thursday. “I’ve been racially abused, vilified, named called and threatened with violence and why? Because I want to stop children from being abused because I want to stop women and men from being killed. “The truth is for all the moral posturing and virtual signalling about truth-telling there is no genuine appetite in Canberra to tell the truth or to hear the truth.”

‘No genuine appetite in Canberra to tell the truth’: Jacinta Price on Voice debateShadow Minister for Indigenous Australians Jacinta Price says she has been told that she is a “sellout”. Ms Price said that she had been “racially abused, vilified, name called and threatened with violence”. “The truth is for all the moral posturing, virtue signaling about truth telling, there is no genuine appetite in Canberra to tell the truth or to hear the truth. “This could not be any clearer than in this government’s referendum on the Voice. “Australians desperately want to do the right thing for their fellow Australians regardless of background. “Many who have engaged with this proposal, hoping to find a way to help the Indigenous Australians who most need assistance, are left disappointed. “They are left with the falsehoods, misleading information and promises that can’t be kept and should never have been made.”
