Will Chinese Australians take the moral high ground, again?

By Chek Ling - posted Tuesday, 10 October 2023

In addition, the PRC immigrants seem more liberated! A few of them have taken serious interest in the original inhabitants of this land. A number of these, artists, have lived amongst Aboriginal peoples to learn about their art and culture. These have produced paintings based on the two artistic traditions.

It's a long bow. But the PRC settlers are now the predominant Chinese Australians. I have a feeling that they will be unfettered to do what is morally right for the Voice Referendum.

I do hope that this homeland of my heirs does have a soul, and that our Parliament is not just a gladiatorial pit for the winner-take-all Two Party Preferred polity.

YES23. What a legacy that would be for future generations!

Expunge the original sin of our nation's birth!

And begin a new journey to find a peaceful restitution to the heirs of the original inhabitants of this land.

Is that too much to ask?
