Now it has been rejected by multicultural Australia too. “We never asked for migrants to be recognised in the constitution,” tweeted Mohammad Al-Khafaji, Fecca’s CEO, confirming the “resounding support” within multicultural Australia for a First Nations voice . “Trying to wedge migrant communities … not only won’t work, but it’s offensive to our community’s intelligence,” he continued. “This is not being done in good faith and it’s divisive.” Ouch.
Warren Mundine and his team have misread the mood. Many migrants and their descendants feel deep empathy for the plight of Indigenous peoples. Though many of our families have struggled, migrants by and large have come to this country and enjoyed great opportunity. Such opportunity stands in stark contrast to the losses experienced by First Nations people.
