It is excellent that Kerryn feels no need for special government provisions that tag her identity as requiring a `leg up` to bring it into line with all other Australian citizens! I recognise that she might feel a little patronised in the possible inference that help might be required - good on her for asserting her self-assuredness in her own authenticity, without being propped up by any thing or any one else! Conversely though, I think that parity with all Australians has, ashamedly, been a long and painful journey for her forebears - they fought hard to avail more equitable measures for her and her Aboriginal contemporaries, and that part of her heritage particularly deserves recognition - without their efforts to balance the scales Kerryn would not be `sitting pretty` as she can rightly assert today with pride.

Bravo David, for converting an oboriginal! I wonder how we could renounce our being Anglo-Saxon or Chinese or Arab or Greek or Italian for that matter?
By the way, the last person who advocated for cultural homogeneity was a certain Mr Hitler and his ideas have long been confined to the dustbin and the minds of the perverted bigots.
We must be forever thankful to the first inhabitants of this land for allowing us to share it with them. Any attempt to dismiss them or wipe them off our fabric of society stinks of racism.

Kerryn is an amazing person. I only hope that she is not verbally abused for her views.
