Any coalition formation could be delayed by
regional elections coming up in Italy later this month, but the vote could be a test of support for parties such as Forza Italia that were sidelined in the general election.
I wanted to put Marcia Langton and Noel Pearson in there too, as I think they all have something to contribute on how policy is being formed for Aboriginal people and the impacts that it has on us and our environments of urban,
regional and remote... I think people expect Marcia, Noel and Warren to all be part of this should the Coalition win the
election, so I thought what other Aboriginal leaders have equal experience but are not always heard and these are the ones I
came up with my shortlist.
