The Golden Rule: To walk in each other's shoes (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781923568013)

Tor Hundloe offers a thoughtful, impartial inquiry into the moral and political challenges at the heart of reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. Drawing from decades of lived experience, focus group research, and philosophical insight, the author-an advocate since the 1967 referendum-examines issues including the 2023 Voice referendum, the life expectancy gap, and contested concepts like treaty and truth-telling. Grounded in universal ethics and guided by the Golden Rule, this work challenges assumptions, confronts complexity, and seeks practical, respectful paths toward unity, justice, and understanding in contemporary Australia.
