THE KIMBERLEY...Frozen Fire

I have heard a bit about the upcoming election to give aboriginals say in legislation affeting them.
Thanks for clarifying the issue. I hope that the YES vote will prevail. And Broome sounds interesting.

Yes, is the only right answer
But in this day and age, reasonable or right, is under fire. Misinformation, disinformation, confusion, ruthless politicians who seek to gain power, by turning something that would normally never have become an issue, into something polarizing, in order to garner votes or attention. It's not just an Australian problem. It's happening everywhere. Scaremongering is big business these days, and fear has always been a powerful ally of those who wish to gain power. Fear of change, fear of the unknown. I suspect, that the nay voice will win, not because most Australians are racist, or even against the idea, but because the no campaign has successfully managed to hijack the agenda and grotesquely distorted what it's about, using the all powerful tool of fear. What will the world think? Don't worry, the world's attention span is pretty short. Before long the world will have forgotten about the whole thing, because the next pressing issue has pushed itself into the foreground. Remember, there is war in Ukraine, fighting in Israel, forgotten conflicts in Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and most of the Sahel, right wing, pro-Russian party's are gaining ground in Europe, migrant crises, poor old Afghanistan which nobody cares about anymore, Haiti, border walls in the U.S.... the list is endless. I haven't even mentioned China and Taiwan. Best to concentrate on the good. Broome is nice! And you are doing what is right! That's what counts.

thanks for the history lesson
Really appreciate your providing some of the details as they relate to the indigenous peoples of Australia - it seems very unfortunate that many countries can relay similar histories. I do hope that the YES vote prevails on Oct 14th. Will be watching to hear the results.

Stunning Broome
Fabulous!
