Backed by the Conservative Right
That's a surprise
A man of Italian origin who voted in favour of greater aborigine rights and representation said in his opinion Australia was a country with many bigots and the vote didn't surprise him at all
The Chant Of Jimmy Blacksmith is a great film with dire warnings if you can find it online

people voting to decide an outcome , that's why we need to be fascist
Equal rights do exist for all don't they?
I think that's the point. This would have created something different and proved to be pretty divisive.
Recordings of hate crimes increased during the campaign from what I've read.
Identity politics like this nearly always creates more divisions than it solves.
That is not to say there are gaping inequalities in Australia, as there are. But my mates who live there didn't see how this solved anything and I'm inclined to agree.
Formally and legally equal rights for all - but in practice that isn't the experience for many.

The legacy of institutional racism against indigenous people and the long period of the White Australia Policy will last for more generations.
The referendum campaign does appear to have been divisive - but that doesn't mean the proposal was wrong, and sometimes it helps (in the long term) for the divisions to be exposed. The idea of a consultative role for indigenous people in the constitution is a watered down version of what has worked well in New Zealand for a long time.
I was in Australia twice in recent years and was very struck by the way many Australians (especially the young) have adopted a respectful references to First Nation people and tribal groups. It is strongest in the tourism and heritage sectors - and although it sounds scripted it also sounds genuine. There are similar conventions in New Zealand and South Africa. Some progress.
I am not but I find it absolutely laughable that a white conservative voter from here can say he's got mates over in Australia who are certainly not going to be indigenous aborigine people and they think its divisive and so does he
Sit down and behave downtrodden people we know what's best for you !
Identity politics ff sake , get out of here
You are a joker
You complain about the politicalisation of posts yet as sure as night follows day You ALWAYS come in with your alt right view
Nuance my arse , if you were around when Thatcher was propping up south africa you would have been right behind her
Give a country where the indigenous population has been persecuted , had their land stolen and displaced by white European immigrants and give those immigrants the vote and guess what the outcome would be ?
Especially with people like you cheering them on
The interview on the TV by an Australian of Italian heritage who spoke of the racism he and others faced and led him to say Australia was a racist country , especially against the aborigines is what resonates not your quasi libertarian right wing nonsense
He tried to speak but was swamped by the Barby q set
I think you need to re-read what I wrote and then read the absolute rants you've just posted.
The two leaders of the No campaign are indigenous Australians. You are demonstrating perfectly why it was all divisive. You aren't listening to the points at all.
