half way there:
Thatās my own conclusion
We do indigenous disadvantage in one of the subjects I teach. Many students think nt is like 80% indigenous, itās closer to 28%.
Hypotheticaly if people voted along racial lines (not saying they did), that nt vote kinda checks out

Was pretty easy to find clear concise simple information.
Those who didnāt did it by choice or listened to people who spread misinformation.

Heās shifting the goal posts so he can walk away with a semblance of pride. The goal was not to get a referendum up and running. The goal was to get it voted up. He failed.
Not sure why you need to resort to personal attacks for feeling that.
I never said he isnāt speaking from his heart.

why is that pathetic?
What kind of person calls that want pathetic?
I didnāt think that it was a model that would achieve meaningful change but I voted yes because it was an step towards reconciliation that cost me nothing and would be a kick in the teeth to indigenous people if it didnāt get up.
I canāt understand why anyone thought it was worth voting down, but Iām not accusing anyone of racism either

Give it a rest
Heās not shifting the goal post at all. Thats the point (which you obviously missed).
The end goal is the same. Heās just going to try different things.
It was a good speech.
Normally Albo slurs like a drunkard much more than that.
Sweet. Go ask some genuine questions somewhere.
similar sentiment to all lives matter?

Thereās only about 27 percent of the NT population who are Indigenous. The NT result will be used by many to paint various scenarios.

āClear concise simple informationā found nowhere that spelled out nothing about this proposed body, its make-up, its powers, its responsibilities or its mandate. (All āTBDā - at a future date to be determined). No wonder people didnāt vote Yes.
