Letter

In response to Thank goodness for Lydia Thorpe

Always listen to mother.

King Charles’ mother made a hugely influential speech in 2011 at a state banquet in Dublin Castle, starting in Gaelic “A Uachtaráin, agus a chairde" — “President and friends”.

Pitjantjatjara is one of the most spoken and studied Aboriginal languages.

What an impression the king would have made if he had started his speech at Parliament House with “Nyuku malpa palya, nganana manta milmilpatjara ngaranyi” - “My good friends, we are standing on sacred ground”.
