Governor General should bring about 'unity' in Australia

History lecturer and author Stephen Chavura says no one who agrees with the Uluru Statement from the Heart in full should be allowed “anywhere near” the office of the Governor General. Both of the apparent candidates for the Governor General role, Linda Burney and Tom Calma, identify as Indigenous Australians and were advocates for the Voice to Parliament referendum. Mr Chavura told Sky News host Andrew Bolt that the Uluru Statement from the Heart “calls for two Australia’s”. “The Governor General is there to bring about unity in Australia," he said. “Any Governor General who signs up or enthusiastically agrees with the Uluru Statement of the Heart believes that Australia as it is, is a colonial project, and we need to create two sovereignties.”
