A reply from the Prime Minister's office

The Prime Minister's office has responded to my letter regarding the discriminatory white Australia policy Constitution. However, instead of addressing my concerns directly, my letter has been redirected to the National Indigenous Australians Agency. What we truly need is a referendum to change the discriminatory white Australia policy Constitution to acknowledge vibrant multicultural Australia. Unfortunately, it appears that there is a lack of genuine interest in resolving the issues faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The political leaders seem to propose ideas that primarily benefit certain government organisations enabling them to manipulate and exploit Indigenous people’s resources.

We also need a thorough examination of the allocation of funding for the welfare of Indigenous communities. While countries like China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc. are progressing. However, Indigenous communities in Australia have remained stagnant for centuries. Despite receiving significant amounts of financial support, they are not experiencing the same advancements witnessed in Asian countries with fewer resources. It is evident that the allocated funds are not reaching the right people. This raises serious concerns about how funds are managed by the government. It seems these funds appear to be utilised to sustain government-funded organisations to keep Indigenous people in ignorance to exploit their resources.

In April 2023, I composed a letter addressed to the Russian Ambassador about my hardships in Australia as a writer. Shortly thereafter, I published the letter on my website. On April 15th, I embarked on a journey to Malaysia and then continued to Sri Lanka on April 20th. My return to Australia occurred on May 1st, 2023. However, on May 6th, an unfortunate incident took place where someone ran a red light and collided with my car. Fortunately, I managed to narrowly escape the accident. Given the circumstances, I cannot help but wonder if this was more than just a mere coincidence.
