A Sydney MP’s request for a minute’s silence for Indigenous Australians on Australia Day has been countered by Alice Springs councillor Jacinta Price, who suggested that the day could instead provide a time for forgiveness and healing.
“Why don’t we use the morning of Australia Day to ... forgive?” Price told 2GB radio on Tuesday. “Why don’t we complete the act of healing and use forgiveness to move forward? As far as I’m concerned that hasn’t been achieved yet.”
