    Not saying it was right to do, and with the backlash she’ll get it’s the opposite of productive. But I can understand her anger.

    The vote to give indigenous people more say was only like a year ago and didn’t pass. (Aware Lidia Thorpe was against it - however her reasoning seems to be that the Voice was a token effort that would allow the faking of progress, and she wanted more real action.)

    Even putting it to the vote was kind of letting mostly non-indigenous people decide whether or not indigenous people were allowed a say in stuff that affects them.

    Now this guy representing the invaders comes over here all pompous to discuss his ruling of the country, refuses to acknowledge or speak to her, and kind of rubs all that recent sore spot in. It’s hitting multiple trauma buttons and the ignoring is not very respectful to her. So she blew up on the only platform available.

    Personally I don’t really think much of Charlie or care about the royal family. I don’t understand the reverence or really think about them.

    I wouldn’t mind being independent of England but would really have to educate myself on potential consequences of that and how the transition would go.
