Professor Langton is an associate provost at the University of Melbourne and held its foundation chair of Australian Indigenous Studies since 2000. She studied anthropology at the Australian National University, where she was the first Indigenous honours graduate in that field. She went on to work for the Central Land Council, the Cape York Land Council and for the 1989 royal commission into Aboriginal deaths in custody.
Vile mouthed bitter person - a most worthy recipient🤢🤢🤮
Of all the Orders handed out on the weekend, this is the one I am happiest about. I dont know what it means to Prof Mangton, but she means a great deal to this country and her contribution is greatly apreciated and of inestimable value to us all.
Now all we need is politicians to do something to fix the issues. Instead of bribing or forcing indigenous people to be 'white' they should treat them as people with a culture, had countries and work to compensate and make up for the invasion that made them victims.
THis one was deserved. But Abbott and Bishop completely devalued the awards.
I wish she would use her influence for unity & moving forward in reconciliation.
TonyKoc69285191 Certainly well deserved.
1 ] She's Scottish. 2 ] She's right. White Australians should stop killing Aboriginals. And there is no doubt about the endemic hatred of the Blacks by Whites. 3 ] This is the difficult one. Blacks should stop killing Blacks. It's difficult because it is culture.
TonyKoc69285191 Marcia Langton message to the government and police was powerful. “Stop killing aboriginals”. “Stop killing us”.
Congratulations on getting well deserved recognition
Kudos to a very inspirational Australian woman 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Industrial strength hypocrisy.
Great to see, disappointing timing to be included with Tony Abbott, as this has taken away some of the spotlight from a deserving Australian.
Well deserved award Professor Marcia Langton. Shame about some of the other recipients. Abbott, Bishop, Richardson for example. Will you accept it?

Wonderful. What a superb woman and academic she is.
Is there a ceremony where these honours will be presented? Will the national anthem be played? smh auspol
