Highlighting the acts of the odd noble individual, or even the acts of the vast majority if they are conscientious, doesn't explain away the motives of a radical minority.

The problem for me is that some actions of a small minority do not seem to be consistent with the broader message, yet they happily hide amongst us.

LP, I know most of the so-called activists from Victoria and some from the other States and Territories.  They are straightforward, honest folk seeking nothing more than a more tolerant, accepting Australia.

If you had been paying attention, you would have heard very loud voices raised in opposition to the folk who hijacked the Change the Date protest; Lydia Thorpe’s mob.  As you may know, Lydia is opposed to the Voice because she claims sovereignty.  As my former boss said on the wireless last week, “Do they know what sovereignty means?”

It’s interesting that Lydia and Jacinta Price have reached a similar decision but from very different political persuasions.  And that just serves to illustrate that Indigenous Australians aren’t a homogenous group.  They have just as many opinions and beliefs as any other ethnic, cultural or sociopolitical group in Australia but with probably more of slant towards the conservative side.

Just who are these radicals that concern you LP?  And don’t suggest Adam Goodes ?
