As the countdown to the referendum continues, concerning scenes have been playing out at Yes rallies across the country.
But while the CPA is pushing for a Yes vote, the smaller Australian Communist Party has called on its members to vote No in the referendum.
“We rightly revile the swastika for what was done in the Holocaust – [where] a similar number of people, six million jews, [was] killed by the Nazi regime [and] you had six million people killed under the hammer and sickle. But that goes totally unnoticed, that’s totally fine.
Professor Deery said there has been a long history of Australia’s Communist community supporting Indigenous causes, including at times when the causes attracted very little support. Just recently, Thomas Mayo has found himself at the centre of conspiracy theories and having to reject claims he was a Communist, after he spoke on a forum of Search Foundation, an organisation which was once linked to the former CPA.earlier this month, Mayo set the record saying “I’ve never been a member of the Communist Party”
Labor Senator and Yawuru man Pat Dodson has also rejected claims of Indigenous collusion with communists.“In fact, we’ve been quite vigilant about resisting any kind of overtures from the Communist Party to either allow them to participate in our meetings to present their ideological platforms, as we’ve been in regards to every other party.”
