Ignorance was dancing down the street when he met Knowledge.

‘Reconciliation is dead!’ Ignorance shouted.

‘No, it’s not!’ Knowledge replied. ‘Reconciliation is a continuous and expansive process, a limitless journey without maps or discrete destination.’

‘Could you explain that in English to me?’ Ignorance asked.

‘English is not my first language,’ Knowledge replied. ‘And such an explanation would require a VOICE.’

‘Yeah, I know,’ Ignorance agreed. ‘You know, mate, you might be the first Aborigine that I’ve ever met!’

‘Nice to finally meet you,’ Knowledge acknowledged.

‘YES!’ Ignorance said.
