The campaign for an Voice to Parliament shares a great deal with the push to turn Australia into a republic when it comes to manipulating our emotions for political gain, writes Alexander Voltz.
A tree planting ceremony to honour Her Late Majesty Elizabeth II, Queen of Australia, was shut down by local Aboriginal knowledge holders.
The fact that legislators themselves are confounded by the controversial act is not at all a comfort. Firstly, Ms Ronan’s primary assertion, that “that lady [Her Late Majesty] didn’t walk this country [or] this land”, is manifestly untrue.In 1963, she opened the town’s Civic Centre.And in 1988, she proclaimed Geraldton a city.
Regardless of her intentions, Ms Ronan’s actions constitute nothing less than republicanism by stealth.
