CBH1926 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I saw this news pop up earlier today, I know we got few Australians here, would be interesting to hear their perspective. Others as well in regards to First Nations of Canada and Native Americans in the U.S. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/australians-decide-against-creating-a-way-for-indigenous-people-to-advise-parliament/ar-AA1icXaw?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=ce6493e45cc84bf0879644901526440d&ei=59 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Long Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 @Ilunga this must come as a disappointment - curious if it came as a surprise? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSVII Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 I remember seeing the posters for the referendum during my travels there this year. On the surface it sounds like a shame, but any Aussies in here can give us an indepth breakdown? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard a few accounts from people from Australia that tell me the treatment of their indigenous people is not good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the start of the campaign there was strong support however as the campaign went on, the dog whistling from the right got louder and the last few polls indicated that a no vote was likely.

What was the right afraid of? Were things like land rights at play? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but that is not the message the fear mongers put out. If you are really interested in the sort of people on the right here in Aus, do a little research on Peter Dutton, the leader of the opposition. The opposition/ right wing party are the Liberal party. Oxymoronic....yes ? There were actually first nations people campaigning for a no vote as well. I believe some of them didn't believe the terms of the referendum went far enough.
