Abstract

‘Quandary in Utopia’ is an idea and a reflection on reality. I will speak about the knowledge and experience gained from my time in federal parliament in dealing with the state of Indigenous affairs and the perilous slippery slope of constant rule-changing and its impacts upon Australia’s Indigenous peoples. I will also reflect on my own upbringing on an Aboriginal reserve, the eventual move to the city, and being informed by family and cultural experience.
