Bob Katter Says If You Want His Opinion On An Indigenous Voice, Well The Fact Of The Matter Is That It’s Not Likely We’ll Ever See Anything Quite Like Christine Anu Ever Again I Mean Wasn’t She Just Spectacular? And Look I Know That’s A Pretty Crowded Field, Namely The Likes Of Lionel Rose, Jessica Mauboy, Seaman Dan, Shakaya And Of Course Dan Sultan But If I’m Honest There Was Just Something So Electrifying About That Torres Strait Islander Girl On Stage At The 2000 Olympics Closing Ceremony Belting Out ‘My Island Home’ It Really Was Just The Right Time, Right Place And There Was A Static Atmosphere Off The Back Off Her Fellow North Queensland Sister Cathy Freeman Winning Gold With Both Flags Over Her Shoulders Look It Was 22 Years Ago And I Remember It Like It Was Yesterday, I Was Lucky Enough To Be There In Homebush Watching Actually, It Was A Moment So Special That I Momentarily Forgot Those Bastards From The IOC Had Sat Me Next To That Treasonous Free-Marketeer Paul Keating Who Most Probably Thought The Song Was Dedicated To Him Because He Visited Redfern Once And No I Didn’t Come Down In The Last Shower I Am Well Aware That Christine’s ARIA-Nominated 1995 Single Was Actually A Cover Of The Warumpi Band But Ya See, And Not Many People Know This, She Actually Started Her Career As A Back Up Singer For Neil Murray, Who Was A White Boy That Co-Wrote That Song With His Black Brothers From The Top End, And That’s What Makes This Indigenous Voice So Special Because This Is What’s It’s All About At The End Of The Day, Getting To Blackfellas Share Knowledge And Insights With Whitefellas, And Then Creating A System Where We Can Pass It On To The Next Generation Of All Colours, Because That’s Where The Magic Happens, That’s When We See Results And That’s When We Fill Stadiums Of Crying Patriots Who Are Equipped To Interrogate Our Complicated History And Heal As One… But As For Albanese’s Referendum, I’m Not Sure How I’ll Be Voting Yet
