AQ: Australian Quarterly | AQ: Australian Quarterly 94.4
Australia is on the doorstep of an important decision - the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum is only weeks away. AQ whole-heartedly supports the 'Yes' Vote and is disheartened with the duplicity of the opposition and the ease with which fear, lies, and suspicion seem to have found root in the minds of many Australians.
The media and the Opposition benches are failing Australia and have shown up the fertile ground that has been tilled by the American-hard-right polarisation politics that have been creeping into Australian discourse (via the Murdoch media) for decades.
As many of this edition's articles articulate, we have been sleepwalking into situations twisted against us by corporate interest and the abrogation of political responsibility to the whim of 'the market'. The promotion of radical individualism over collectivism and collective responsibility has meant we are easily divided - social media and partisan media mean those cracks are more easily exploited.
Australia has a chance to resurface its egalitarian aspirations, by embracing a better future for all Australians, not just Indigenous ones, rather than just huddling in an unsatisfactory status quo. What will Australia do?
