Why the Voice could be a bulwark against Trumpism gaining a stronger foothold in Australia

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, September 26, 2023

As former Labor minister Barry Jones has wisely noted, the Voice referendum feels like 2016 all over again.

Key Points: 
  • As former Labor minister Barry Jones has wisely noted, the Voice referendum feels like 2016 all over again.
  • The only consolation was that Trump did not win a majority of votes in the United States.
  • Maybe the Voice will prevail, as Senator Pat Dodson says:
    I believe Australians are better than this.

A campaign defined by fear-mongering

    • Anthony Albanese has said there is “nothing scary, nothing to be fearful of here”.
    • Liberal Party politicians have been warned that those who support the Voice will lose their pre-selection for seats in parliament.
    • Former ACT Chief Minister Kate Carnell has said
      This has been politicised to the point that people aren’t comfortable to campaign for what they believe in because of the politics.
    • This has been politicised to the point that people aren’t comfortable to campaign for what they believe in because of the politics.

How Trump’s messages seep into Australia

    • If he returns to power, Australia will undoubtedly see a steady flood of these messages via his social media posts and pronouncements from the Oval Office.
    • “Law and order” will be a recurrent theme in the 2024 presidential election, should Trump be the Republican candidate again.
    • Trump supporters in Australia, including some who hold or aspire to public office, will pick up those messages and propagate them here.

      'Alt-right white extremism' or conservative mobilising: what are CPAC's aims in Australia?

Why the Voice could insulate Australia from Trumpism

    • The existence of the Voice will mean that Trumpism is unlikely to derail what the body is intended to achieve.
    • The victorious opponents of the Voice, with their echoes of Trumpism, will be poised to keep advancing their agenda.
    • As George Megalogenis recently concluded, “A ‘no’ vote would revive both the colonial ghost of dispossession and the federation ghost of the White Australia policy.” That would be a victory for Trumpism in Australia, even before Trump’s fate is decided next year by voters in America.

'Emu Men': a new way to recognise and celebrate Indigenous fathers

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, August 31, 2023

For many Indigenous peoples, this includes our biological father, adopted fathers, as well as our grandfathers, uncles, brothers, cousins, friends, and more.

Key Points: 
  • For many Indigenous peoples, this includes our biological father, adopted fathers, as well as our grandfathers, uncles, brothers, cousins, friends, and more.
  • These false representations can be deeply damaging to the psyche of Indigenous men, and potentially erode the fabric of our communities.
  • Indigenous fathering has emerged as a key priority in my research examining Indigenous men and masculinity.

Indigenous traditions of fathering

    • Fathering traditions are also evident in some Indigenous languages and kin structures.
    • In the late 1700s, some European explorers observed and recorded the centrality of fathering in Indigenous societies.
    • Yet casting an eye over these various recordings of history, from both Indigenous and European records, reveals the existence of strong, consistent and widespread traditions of care, nurture and love between Indigenous fathers and their children.

Breaking the bonds of fatherhood

    • The introduction of foreign diseases, violent frontier conflict, removal of people from Country, and removal of children are well established historical truths.
    • Legally, Indigenous fathers were replaced as agents of care and responsibility through various protection acts in Australia’s colonies.
    • Discourses of “protection” broke apart Indigenous families, which affected mothers, fathers and extended family and their roles caring for their children.

Social and political assaults on Indigenous men as fathers

    • The 2007 Northern Territory Intervention demonstrates how demonising Indigenous men can be used as a political weapon.
    • This was done by portraying Indigenous men as neglectful, violent, unsafe, and in need of heavy-handed government responses.

Positive representations of Indigenous Dads matter

    • These intensely personal homages of Indigenous fathers presented an antidote to the tsunami of negativity towards Indigenous fathers.
    • Indigenous performers such as Luke Carroll and Hunter Page-Lochard now feature regularly on the ABC’s Play School.
    • It is clear Indigenous fathering carries its own meaning and interpretation.
    • I suggest a new term – “Emu Man” – as an apt description of these deeply embedded Indigenous male roles.

Some of the legislation denies gender-affirming care to youth – and criminalizes those health-care providers that attempt to do so.

Key Points: 
  • Some of the legislation denies gender-affirming care to youth – and criminalizes those health-care providers that attempt to do so.
  • Other bills block trans students from participating in sports and still others have banned books with trans content.
  • They all aim to make being trans harder in an already hostile society and they are being spearheaded by the far-right.
