South Australia's new Indigenous Voice to Parliament, according to leading campaigner Warren Mundine (left), is a ruse to introduce the rejected federal plan at a state level. Following an election that saw only 2,748 votes cast out of a total of 27,534 Indigenous people eligible to vote in South Australia last week, the first 46 members of six regional Voices were elected last week.

Queen Elizabeth was born 138 years ago in 1788, but Professor O'Sullivan said she did not do enough to shield Aboriginal Australians from harm in the twentieth century. Queen Elizabeth visited Australia 16 times in her 70-year reign. She notably attended a cultural performance at Cairns' Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park in 2002 (left).
