I don't wish to drag this out, Trudy , but I did not ask for Graham's
political affiliations.
I asked if he was employed by the Liberal Party or another group with an
interest in the outcome of political events, particularly Indigenous issues.
I see a difference between being a member or supporter of a political party
or group and being a paid employee of a Party or group, who sets out to
accomplish an outcome for his employer.
I sincerely hope Ian does not leave or returns to the List.
There are Karens everywhere, and we will be dealing with many more of
them----we already are ---H-H-H to name three, and so far we are not doing
too well.
I think we should ignore them if possible ,challenge them if necessary, but
never allow them to set the agenda, or create division in the ranks of
supporters of Indigenous Rights.
United we stand, Divided we fall.
Laurie.
