HMS bark Endeavour

By Everald Compton - posted Thursday, 27 September 2018

So, Australia must be like the Endeavour. It must be a stable entity with a fine leader who can weld a team together and change the nation into one solid entity.

Sometime in the next generation, we need to find an extraordinary leader who is acceptable to both sides.

I hold the view that it can only be an indigenous person, someone of the charisma of Barrack Obama, and most probably female.

Then, let us forget about black and white and be proud Australians in a proud land where everyone gets a fair go.

I reckon that the return of the Endeavour to Australia will be the starting point in achieving this.
