The Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council wants the power to allow indigenous cultural investigators to enter private property in Victoria without the owner's or renter's permission. Their aim is to investigate possible violations of indigenous cultural sites or heritage or land. The example offered is if some sacred things, like the remains of a person were in a shed. Rita Panahi, conservative Sky News commentator summed this proposal up well: “This is the left march and it's always the same people, whether it's global warming, whether it's race issues - BLM (Black Lives Matter) marches or invasion day, or whether now you're seeing people taking to the street for the Palestinian cause - it is the same people in almost all the cases. And it's the same group of people pushing this anti-West agenda, this push to say we're not legitimate, this is an evil country.”
The establishment of a cultural police is contrary to everything Australia is and stands for, and as Panahi says, is like something seen in Iran, so the proposal needs to be soundly protested against by us Victorians.
