It’s very clear at this point that Albanese has put stakes on the table that his government was utterly unprepared to fight for.
Albanese was in parliament for the peak of the History Wars period, the 1999 referendum, and the dissolution of ATSIC. He can not reasonably claim he was unaware of what the opposition to this would look like and how it would behave, and yet none of it was preempted.
Unless there is something truly remarkable waiting in the wings I fear signing these writs effectively sees serious steps toward reconciliation pushed back another generation.
They could have avoided a chunk of this by passing Zali stegalls bill on truth in advertising, but I guess abandoning your cornerstone policy on reconciliation is a small price to pay for being able to lie at the next election.
I think of it less as a question and more of an admission
