An article in a daily paper quoted leaders of the Anglican Church as seeking community unity with a 'yes' vote at the next referendum about recognising indigenous people in the Constitution.

In fact a ‘yes’ vote to recognise Aboriginal people in the Constitution will deliver disunity.

Our Constitution currently recognises all Australian citizens, irrespective of their race or culture.

To make special Constitutional reference to one group immediately creates the potential to treat that group differently.
