Deep dives
The Political Landscape of Indigenous Affairs
The failure of the voice referendum has led to a notable decline in the focus on Indigenous affairs within the political sphere. Labor's previous commitment to the Uluru Statement and various Indigenous policies seems absent in current election platforms, indicating a shift away from prioritizing these issues. Conversely, the Coalition's approach appears to echo past punitive measures, as they plan to audit government spending and launch a Royal Commission into Indigenous community issues, which critics argue could further stigmatize these communities. This shift in rhetoric and focus raises concerns about the political motivations behind these actions and their long-term effects on First Nations people.
