An Indian born Labor member of the Western Australian parliament asserted this week that Indian people are Indigenous to Australia due to ancient migration flows 4000 years ago. She asserted that many Aboriginal Australians have Indian DNA. I am extremely worried about how inflammatory this discourse is for communal harmony in Australia. Considering the fact that she made these claims in the context of a discussion of who really is Australian, her implicit argument appears to be that Indian Australians have a stronger tie to Australia than white Australians - a truly explosive and divisive claim. I personally come from a Greek migrant family with four generations in Australia. I try to be respectful towards Australians with generational heritage stretching back to the First Fleet because I know my personal family history does not include that. I know that those Australians were instrumental in the building of modern Australia so I don’t want to disrespect their contributions. I don’t go around saying that Australia is really a Greek country or that Greeks have an Indigenous claim to Australia that supplants the claims of Anglo-Celtic Australians. That would be wrong, and it would also be massively damaging and explosive for race relations and inter communal relations in this country. My strong advice to friends in the Indian Australian community would be to not engage in this kind of discourse which implicitly devalues or downgrades the British heritage of modern Australia. I understand that when people are hurt by racism they often feel defensive and want to hit back by asserting their right to live in Australia. Of course I understand that human impulse. But you can’t go about this by trying to implicitly devalue the contributions of European Australians and devalue their ties to the country. Australia was set up with British institutions and these institutions built this country up and guaranteed our shared prosperity. It’s morally wrong to try tear that down. It will damage the future success of our country and I believe it can only lead to more division and racism.
