Prof Davis is too qualified but also too Black, too Aboriginal, to palatably represent Aboriginal interests to non-Aboriginal people. She's articulate in her critique, but reduced to "rage." She's "too close" as a Cobble Cobble woman, but her expertise not close enough. 4/

Non-Aboriginal people love to think they'd support the "right" Aboriginal causes. This "support" is conditional: so long as the rest of us are not uncomfortable, so long as we don't *really* have to change. Same paternalism that has characterised our nation since colonialism. 5/

Finally,
#UluruStatement expressly lays out that the only path to national healing over ongoing damage of colonialism is truth telling. Colonialism is violence. Prof Davis' expression is not rage. But if we can't deal with anger of injustice, we are not committed to change. 6/finShow this thread

Actually,I said it maintains rage in the core of the campaign. No claims about her rage or otherwise.

The "white" thoughting peoples are required to pass referendum. That is reason Parliament when funded $18M Oz referendum dialogues requested in ToR that views of all Oz (including First Nations ppl) be tested by Ref Council. Prof Davis is intelligent person & aware of this factor
