"Voice to Parliament" Referendum: we dodged the bullet!

[Ian Thomas]

It was to be expected, not all families are like ours with Aboriginal relatives who don't want to be different or treated differently.

Like my Grandson says in his little rap tune,

My Dad's Aboriginal, my Grandpa is a Jew,
I'm a freakin' Nazi's nightnare but what's a guy to do?
It doesn't really matter coz everyone of us is Aussie
Dinkum through and through.

I also remind him, Grandma is a "ten pound Pom"
But I do like blue eyed blondes.
