Australian Politics -- from June 2023

Topical.

[dmaplestone]

All sides of politics. Left and right have failed dismally to make meaningful change.

I actually think there should be a real fear that if Yes is successful it will be divisive. The people who keep bringing it up are telling you exactly how they plan to behave if it’s yes.

The ICCC reports where supposed to be an independent and unbiased report to inform knowledgeable debate on climate change. Instead they are generally reported through the lens of far right scouring through the thousands of pages until they can find the one sentence they can spin into outrage. “They want to cancel beef!”

The right will do that with anything the voice produces.

One area has had more opportunity than the other in the last 30 years.

[Sniggles]

The right got exactly what they wanted

Our most prominent former PM told the liberals to maintain the rage against black people

[barnz]

Well they did change a lot of things. They’ve turned a sturdy hearty cohort of hard workers into people fearful of equality and the work it takes to get there.

[simmo41]

pretty sure leaded petrol did most of the heavy lifting there

Micro plastics with the RKO

I don’t think we need a Voice to reverse the lack of time and investment that should be deployed on the ground.

I don’t know your background and I do not want to offend you, but Government (meaning us taxpayers) have spent $Billions of dollars over the past 5 years and longer to “close the gap” and it has failed miserably. Above I post an article from the Age yesterday or the day before which highlighted

Six graphs that reveal Closing the Gap outcomes since Rudd apology

Maybe if Government actually listened to First Nations people we might get progress

All nations in WW2 were equally atrocious in their methods and activities

All footballs teams are as fark as Fark Carlton

That says a shitload about you Bill.

I have a nice bridge for sale, reckon we could make it attractive for you.

I’m not buying anything off you @Bacchusfox ……you’re a shrewd wealthy Tesla driving businessman and you’ll get the better of me around the bridge negotiations

What have you got against greenie hippies ?

I think most sound minded, reasonable Australians want to give back. Around 50% obviously think there’s another way of doing it without changing the Constitution.

The reason its in the constitution is because every effort has been disbanded in the past. And it’s been a government idea not one from the community.

Its a request from indigenous people, indigenous communities.

If someone reads and thinks about it who would currently vote No and instead give change a go. Then it wont be 50% will it?

[Bacchusfox]

Which one is she ? Racist or Stupid or both ?

Price says colonialism has been good for Indigenous Australians

[Bacchusfox]

Because Bill, most of them have never been out of North Carlton.

So why aren’t the people who spend our billions and are responsible for the current 3,000 indigenous groups/bodies held accountable? Albo should be saying the Voice will hold them all accountable- that’s a much better pitch to the soft NO voters than saying people are racist

[dmaplestone]

Because there’s doubt in the no camp as to whether there will be meaningful change with the Voice being endorsed, and possibly even giving rise to unwarranted risks. Voters are understandably sceptical about what Politicians say, we don’t trust them even if in this instance it’s different.
