To The Australian Janet Albrechtsen has delivered a powerful blow to the movement for Aboriginal separatism ("Shouted down by the crusading voice of division", 5/6). She has assembled most of the substantial arguments against any kind of constitutionally entrenched "indigenous" recognition and given a welcome serve to the "corporate virtue-signallers" who have hitched the prestige of their economic power to the dream of folly, as well as falsely claiming in recent full-page advertisements that they are supporting a movement of the whole Australian people. We now need the Prime Minister to admit that his support for constitutional change in this context has been an error. Best to do this now and quickly before the monster grows!
