A grudging, minimal, screaming and kicking Damascus Road moment brought to you by the letters, C -R -O- S- B- Y- A- N -D -T -E -X -T -O- R.
ABORIGINAL reconciliation will be a key policy priority if the Coalition is re-elected, Prime Minster John Howard has just announced.
Mr Howard admitted he had struggled with reconciliation throughout his 11 years as prime minister.
He accepted his share of the blame for “low points” in relations between his government and indigenous people.
“The challenge I have faced around indigenous identity politics is in part an artefact of who I am and the time in which I grew up,” Mr Howard said
You 'k'n' rodential tosser! There are many of us Australians of your 'artefactual' generation who have NEVER faced that *challenge*. Many Australians who have NEVER seen that whole sorry issue as a *challenge*. It sure as Hell speaks volumes about the very challenged "who I am" John Winston Howard.
ABORIGINAL reconciliation will be a key policy priority if the Coalition is re-elected, Prime Minster John Howard has just announced.
Subtext? "Vote us back in or we shoot the reconciliation kid!"
Wonder what odds a friendly bookmaker might give the punters on John Dubya's election campaign starting out with these words, "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
UPDATE.
Is there a Robinson Crusoe out there who still gives the Rodent the benefit of the doubt? Any shipwrecked, every man is an island fool who still thinks that this was a truly Damascene experience and who still believes that the rodential mea culpa "ah ha" experience has nothing to do with the upcoming election?
Exhibit 'A'
ONLY a re-elected Coalition Government can push forward reconciliation with Australia’s indigenous people, Prime Minister John Howard says.
Last night Mr Howard pledged to hold a referendum on whether the preamble to the Australian constitution should be amended to recognise Aboriginal people as the first Australians.
The Opposition has given it bipartisan support, but Mr Howard said today the Labor Party lacked the ability to unite the Australian community.
“I don’t believe Labor could unite conservative and progressive Australians on this issue,” he said.
BRING IT ON!
