"Racism will diminish in this country when we succeed with recognition" | Boyer Lectures 2022

Noel Pearson maps out how Australia grapples with the lack of Indigenous recognition, how Australia has moved away from original sin racism to an enduring antipathy against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
"Without sorting out that complex of matters falling under the rubric of ‘recognition’ we will forever think that what we call racism is at the heart of our problem as a nation rather than our not knowing who we are."
We have an opportunity to remedy this, to ensure that Indigenous Australians are part of the equation, not outside it. Australians are ready for real practical change in supporting a Voice to Parliament. That grassroots Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people drive the discussion about how to best solve the difficult challenges facing their communities.
