Marcus Waters writes in The Conversation (12.2.15):
‘As the dust settles after the Queensland election, the realisation that two Indigenous candidates, Leeanne Enoch and Billy Gordon, made history is taking hold amid the Labor Party celebrations.
‘No other politicians will be under the same pressure as these two. While others are discussing economic stability, unity and fair governance, Enoch and Gordon, will be caught between neoliberal assimilationist policy and calls of cultural genocide from within their own Indigenous community.’
