A controversial position adopted by the Greens has split the party’s Aboriginal membership, with some saying it gets the Uluru Statement from the Heart wrong.
Controversy has erupted within the Australian Greens over the party’s change to its position on the Uluru Statement from the Heart which would introduce a treaty prior to a Voice to parliament., claiming he had been bullied by individuals within the party’s First Nations Network, known colloquially as the “Blak Greens”.
“The bullying, harassment, and abuse I have received from people in the Greens, including from party officials and pre-selected federal candidates, over my support for Voice, treaty, truth got to the point where I decided to resign my membership from the party,” he said., who was instrumental in the establishment of the Blak Greens, said the statements made on social media by Blackwell were the first allegations of bullying she had seen within the group.
Other members expressed their concerns about the party finding itself voting alongside the likes of Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Party on any potential referendum on the Indigenous Voice to parliament proposal.
