She’s a Nat. You didn’t need to prove that you would never contemplate actually listening to anything she says before loudly denouncing it and that your sole interest is in denouncing opponents of a party you cannot actually say anything positive about so have to stick to just denouncing its opponents without even bothering to find out what factions they are in as long as you have identified them as not being in yours.
People who ALSO say dishonest stuff with bad will do include asking for “DETAILS” that obviously belong in subsequent legislation, not in the constitutional referendum.
Voting NO actually counts as a vote against that contributes to defeating the proposal.
Voting WHY does not count as a vote at all. It tells both sides of the campaign that people want serious concrete proposals to actually do something rather than getting sucked in either way into purely symbolic gestures.
WHY haven’t they been able to do what they are currently campaigning for?
WHY would adding a paragraph to the Constitution enable them to setup advisory bodies with legislation requiring that they actually be listened to.
WHY are they pulling an electoral stunt instead of just doing it?
Who’s we pale face? That’s a Lone Ranger reference in case you get too upset, or more than you are already. I listened and learned that she has an annoying voice to go with what I already knew of her beliefs and motivations. Even if she were just a Nat (what does LNP stand for again?) that actually makes her worse as she’s the member of a parasitical party that by ‘virtue’ of being necessary to the Libs to get close to power often have an inordinate amount of say in how the country, its economy and environment, are variously run into the ground and exploited for personal gain. They ceased being truly representative of their so called constituents years ago and are responsible for one of the biggest shi.tstains in Australian political history having his hands on the wheel for periods of time.
Arthur I’m not sure I really care what you think anyway, you were supposed to be bored with all this before posting chapters of your vanity publishing endeavour, so go and be bored somewhere. Vote WHY?
I do not know one First Nations Leader who does not highlight the massive issues with DV, sexual abuse and alcohol. As bad as they are in all our society, it is much worse in Indigenous communities.
What is to discuss, Bill ? It is a sad fact, and nothing has improved since Native Law was banned.
I wasn’t referring to you @Bacchusfox ….you know exactly who I was referring to …….yes agree it’s very sad fact …….from what I’ve read there is a culture of not speaking out so things remain the way they are regarding DV/SA
I know you were not talking about me Bill. I am happy to talk about anything, and I have no idea who you were referring to, and do not want to know.
Yep Native Law, was about punitive measures and I believe was very effective in many places. I was at Tennant Creek Hospital in the1980s, when an Indigenous bloke was carried in, with a spear in his thigh. It was explained that he has transgressed in some way and the elders allowed the victim to exact punishment. Looked nasty, but I was told it was effective and the scar was a very public reminder.
I am not advocating a return to spearing, but maybe Law needs to administered by the Community. Forcing white culture like we have done for 200 years or more has not had a good outcome.
There is more to customary aboriginal law than physical payback. The ALRC has been grappling with its application for years, including against concepts of administering justice with different understandings of law and societal norms, how rulings are made absent appointments to tribunals etc
Exactly what I thought the Greens would be doing following their positioning on rent freezes ….try and win over the renters, win some inner city seats and push Labor into minority government…….will the LNP play the preference game to help the Greens ?
I think Tehran’s electorate extends to Framlingham and elsewhere where Geoff Clarke has been notorious, charged with fraud and accused of other serious crimes.
Yesterday I read that Australia is on track to achieve a 500,000+ new immigrants for this year. Great. Economic activity simply put.
Question. Where will they live? I assume majority in Melbourne / Sydney.
With the current rental supply crisis and soaring rentals, won’t these people largely join the rental market? Won’t this exacerbate the rental supply and cost crisis? on what basis is this a good outcome for Australia broadly?
What am I missing? Australia hasn’t got the plans or supply pipeline to cater for this growth. It’s a ponzi scheme.
