I received two pieces of propaganda in my mail box over the weekend. One was from Yes23 Australians for Indigenous Constitutional Recognition and included the Uluru statement. Nice.
The other was addressed, ‘Dear Neighbour’ but did not have any details as to whom it was from… I was annoyed by this as it was directed at me because I have two ‘Yes’ signs on my fence – and yet this person or group did not identify themselves.
My response to the ‘Dear Neighbour’ is as follows:
Dear Neighbour, please have the courtesy and conviction of your beliefs to name yourself. How dare you assume that my decision to support the Voice to parliament is not considerably well thought through. I have listened to First Nations people, both for and against the Voice and have made my decision. I find your words shallow, sensationalist and wrong! I am not a communist, I am a socialist!
