Voice No campaigner Warren Mundine says Australia needs to “move forward” in tackling Indigenous issues instead of worrying about the historical colonial experience of Aboriginal people. In light of Senator Jacinta Price's speech to the Press Club, debate has erupted with people eager to try and make the topic of colonialism a good or bad question. “For the last 56 years, we’ve got rid of all the race laws in this country – we are spending billions of dollars to help and work with Aboriginal people,” Mr Mundine told Sky News host Amanda Stoker. “If you are going to be trapped in this victimhood, grievance mentality, then you're not going to move forward – it’s a fact of life. “Just about every race, every country in the world had been either colonised, invaded … had horrible things that happened to them, but they’ve had to accept that history and then move forward.”
