An Open Letter to the White King’s Blacks – Eat Your Cake!
Well may you say, we don’t care whether its Constitutional or not!
Well, constitutional, unfortunately it is; what its not, is guaranteed nor fair to other Aussies. Yes yes, I hear the shrieks of “Fair! Fair! YOU haven’t been fair to US!” Yes, but that was in the past and while parliamentary deceit and its methods haven’t changed, by now they damned well should have … because the rest of us have!
A sop. And what’s more, a worthless sop. And what’s more, a worthless constitutional parliamentary sop delivered up by one of your own people. Another case of ‘leading the horses to water and not caring one way or the other whether the poor bastards drink or not!’
Why the First Nations people can’t realise that in this day and age we’re all in it together is beyond me. No, thats not true I do understand the methods of this sort of government. Its the old divide to rule. I suppose that that is progress because it shows that someone cares enough to believe that you’re worthy of being divided from the rest of us. Apartheid South Africa did it very well as did the old Empire in India. This is exactly what the King meant when he said that “he was not a progressive” and I’d sure hope that there are enough of us to see through, not only this latest divisive deceit, but its inevitable implications for us all. This is nothing more than a winding back of the clock just so we can all relieve the old times once again. That’s the ultimate goal of conservatism – static progress (stasis?). A bicycle with square wheels.
Trakka Wyatt said that its a legislated voice to government. I suppose that if ‘government’ was to never change, and I suppose, if you had a guarantee that someone with integrity was put in the position as your dedicated listener, your Envoy to government, then perhaps you may … may feel that regardless of the expense to Democracy, that you have won. But there are too many maybes and no guarantees. And anyway, whose to say that your envoy will have either the power to make government listen or will even care whether it does or not? Certainly, with a government like the current King’s, you wouldn’t be putting your humpies, or Pemulway’s waddies, on it!
I’m going to suggest to you, First Nations people, that this is the sort of codswallap that your current envoy – Tough Tony Abbott – will have suggested to his King; a prolongation of your agonies and a sop to your intelligence. Its all very well to believe in stasis while your gorging on the cherry pie – which brothers you are not! – but when you’re shoved aside and made to watch your noble deceivers gorge, then the pie is as worthless as the cherries its made of. What was it that Marie Antoinette was supposed to have said, ah yes … ‘well, let them all eat cake’.
You know, the rest of us, whether we’ve been here 60000 years, 200 or 2 years require the same protections and desire the same Voice that you say you want and none of us are going to get it unless we make Australia a Democracy. And while any of us fall for such sops as this, from a government determined to build Fascism, then none of us will ever get it. We’re in it together – my children and yours, and isn’t it time we all wake up and getup and make ourselves a Bill of Rights and produce a decent constitution from it.
“Now why will the great man …try to feel life? Because he sees that men will prompt him to betray himself, and there is a kind of agreement to draw him from his den. He will prick up his ears and gather h0himself together, and say: ‘I will remain my own. He gradually (only gradually) comes to understand what a fearful decision it is” – Fred Nietzsche.
