First Nations people are suffering through a debate poisoned by the “No” campaign’s specious nonsense

We’re just over a week into the formal referendum campaign and, as feared, its tone shows this country’s inability to have a civil and rational debate – not only about the question being asked of us on October 14, but also on the question of what sort of nation we want to be. Take this comment the alternative prime minister made yesterday during his regular stink-eye staring contest with shock jock Ray Hadley: “I heard a story the other day of an Indigenous leader in Melbourne, I think it was, who lives close to the city of Melbourne, is on a high-paying job.” (Dutton was referring to Tanya Hosch, the first Indigenous woman to serve on the AFL executive.) “She had type 2 diabetes and, sadly, as I recall the story, had to have part of her leg amputated. And she made the claim that somehow the health system in Melbourne – inner-city Melbourne – had let her down as an Indigenous person, and that this was somehow justification for the Voice.” Dutton’s judgemental rant shows two things: his preparedness to splash about in the political gutter to appease media elites and cast aspersions on opponents (including publicly speculating about someone’s health), and his underestimation of the “Yes” campaign’s conviction. Dutton’s attack on a First Nations woman with chronic health problems only served to underline Professor Marcia Langton’s point about the harm this debate is inflicting upon Indigenous Australians.

Missy Higgins knows the kind of Australia we should all wake up to - one that has decided to finally listen and overwhelmingly voted yes!
