Commiserations to all who have dedicated their time
and energy in the efforts of advancing the fairness vote. It is predictably
disappointing that the yes vote didn’t prevail. Now, it’s time to restore hope,
present new thoughts and invigorate the public again to deliver the atmosphere
of good will for all.
Let’s not be
perturbed by the referendum’s no vote
preferences. This was like all the past undertakings, a predictable show of fewer
hands as the vote for change was marginalized. Now, it’s Makarrata time to refocus and find a different but strong terminology
than the previous jargons of “sorry, reconciliation, referendum, yes… that can
entice all Australians to burst with earnest messages that can introduce
moralities for equal opportunity rather than construe it as if the indigenous
people will take over the sovereign.
Let’s not swayed
by few hoodwinkers and perpetrators that blaming Prime Minister, Albanese was
at fault, the yes vote didn’t prevail. He has allocated so much effort for the
vote to be successful, but Australia reflected on its past to disregard it and he
was determined to give the indigenous people a better opportunity. It was also
disheartening to see some of the responsible but young indigenous representatives
and influential leaders misconstrued and being deceived to oppose the
referendum.
Make no mistake,
a better and more peaceful world can only be attained by societies developing
basic principles of humanity, supporting each other thru individual
empowerment, practicing non-violence and self-development thru internal
transformation.
Recognizing
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the country’s constitution to
represent their people and paying respect to 65,000 years of culture and
tradition is not about taking over the sovereignty and leading by dominating
the people as some are instigating this system of archaic fear as a motivating
standoff and generating division prone conventions by encouraging hesitant
crusaders.
Keep in mind
that, the yes vote was the start of the emergence of big change. Next time, it
will be different. There will be times when they shouldn’t compromise their
core values, their integrity, and they will have the responsibility to speak up
in the face of injustice and do all that they can to thrive and survive. To do
so they need to cultivate and nurture the concept of cultural helpfulness and
social cohesion rather than individualistic hatemongering approach even if they
don’t get the support for those new changes.
A sense of
self-worth by any group in society is only partially internal; it also depends
on the willingness of other competing groups in the general public to
acknowledge the worth of the other.
Furthermore, just
because someone is the leader of the opposition doesn’t mean they have to
repudiate every important policies/changes that serve the people without
creating unfairness. It’s an absolute disrepute for someone who has leadership knowledge
and authority standing to refute the owners of the land that they live on by amassing
enormous opportunities to say the least. This message is also for the rest of
Australian public who the opposition leaders reverberating to, ‘the people are not
ready to accept any voice for change’. When will the public be ready to accept changes?
The opposition leaders are just labelling people to show that they are doing
something by opposing in their given position. It’s time to understand the
functions of the voices/policies being demanded by addressing all false
impressions to increase public awareness in good conscience.
We all have the
right to dislike and make comments how and what we feel about anything. How
others feel is entirely theirs alone. Nobody deserves to be abused or punished
because they speak up the language of the new millennium.
We are all
making our open contributions regardless of commendations, acknowledgements,
appreciations and validations of our efforts, to improve any ongoing social,
political and individual dilemmas in our community. Those contributions are
somehow used by other personalities in assisting and advancing their actions
for a better outcome. That’s also morally a good feeling!
It’s easy to
take someone for granted until we see the unimaginable person or candidate
emerges to replace the existing ones.
Today, it’s not
enough to create change at the level of symptoms and structures. We need to
work even more deeply to change the underlying paradigms of thought and to
connect with our deeper sources of creativity and self in a heterogeneous
society.
It’s the sanctity & crudeness of being human,
stupidity, complexity, communality, mortality…and tragedy that we linger on
grumbling no matter how fulfilled and comfortable we are.
Reconciliation and Sorry are not only about
remuneration with handouts with limited opportunities and ‘unfairdinkum’ treatments in order to maintain equal shares in the
conventional society.
It’s now time Australians draw a line under the
differences of the past and work together to build consensus around a proposal
for change without hostility.
This is long overdue and it’s a decision that we as
Australians must make for ourselves. As time goes by we’re becoming heartless, unsympathetic
and insidious society. We’re all the same under the universe; every one of us
needs to practice it correctly.
Nevertheless, irrespective of the disparities that
have long existed here and around the world, learning from the past and still remaining
calm to do the right thing, I’m happy and contented to see change is happening
at a slower rate than ever before. There’s more to be done. Everything all of
us declared and wanted to be accomplished will be realized surely either now or
long before we all have gone like all those who have gone before us doing so
much and putting up their lives for moral causes.
FYI: UK just announced,
“Its jails are crowded & wants to send prisoners abroad.”
