The Australian Greens condemn the vile racism behind vandalism of Greens SA Senate candidate Major Moogy Sumner\u2019s election poster.
\n\u201cThis racism is not acceptable. We need First Australians in our Parliament and they need to be able to participate without these kinds of attacks,\u201d Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young said.
\n\u201cThis does not represent South Australia. Moogy is a beloved and respected leader in our state. People on all sides of politics respect him, love him and I know wish him well for this election.
\n\u201cI am so proud to have such a distinguished aboriginal elder standing shoulder to shoulder with me in this election campaign.
\n\u201cOur Parliament and our state would be all the richer with Moogy Sumner in the Senate.\u201d
\nMoogy Sumner, Ngarrindjeri elder, said:
\n\u201cMy face is well known in Adelaide. People know who I am and what I stand for,\u201d he said.
\n\u201cIt is disappointing to see this crop up in our community, but it won\u2019t stop me from standing up for what we believe in. Here I am, you\u2019re not going to scare me away.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
