In August 2015, when AFL star Adam Goodes was being booed in stadia from coast to coast, Anthony Dillon injected a note of reality into what had become an entirely predictable exercise in theatrical outrage and ostentatious victimhood.

The real goal of the Voice was always more than simply allowing indigenous people representation to the Australian parliament — which they have had, anyway, almost continuously since 1967 through successive government advisory boards. It is to further the 'unfinished business' that will never end
