Dr Germaine Greer, discusses the concept of Australia becoming an Aboriginal republic at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra. She added that if this now sounded a ridiculous proposition, it should be remembered that an indigenous republic in South Africa would have seemed equally inconceivable 50 years ago. Dr Greer’s latest book ‘Whitefella Jump Up’ tells Australians to wake up and realise that Australia’s identity crisis could be saved by learning understanding from our Indigenous peoples (reported by David Seale in The Canberra Times).
