Warren Mundine said he has kicked two people off his no campaign group Recognise a Better Way, one of which for allegedly making an antisemitic comment.
I’ve actually kicked several people off our campaign in regard to their comments and I intend to keep on doing that.
That’s just between us and the couple of people we had sent off. I don’t appreciate racist comments … All they know is I got rid of them and I don’t accept any racial comments from anyone in regard to these issues.
… It wasn’t particularly about Aboriginals, one was a very antisemitic comment and I’m not gonna wear that crap.
When I talk about treaties, when I talk about constitutional recognition, it is in regard to treaties that are signed between the commonwealth government and First Nations peoples.
… I believe in treaties between the First Nations and the commonwealth and at that, and I put it in that context.
I was involved in the beginning … and then after it got further down the track in regard to [what] it was looking at, [then I said] I don’t support that.
It has to be the First Nations, it has to be the traditional owners who make those agreements. I can’t speak for other people’s country, and they can’t speak for my country.
