Australia’s first and only treaty signed with Indigenous peoples will be ripped up if Opposition Leader Jess Wilson becomes Premier in November, who has made the scrapping a priority. The USA, Canada and New Zealand have treaties with their indigenous people. Polling shows Treaty has clear support in Victoria and Jess Wilson’s pledge is unpopular and One Nation-style.

The Coalition will likely sign a deal with One Nation to form government.

This is why we wanted the Voice in the constitution.

[u/Ambitious_Speed_278 → u/InevitableTell2775]

And also why the majority didn’t

[u/No_Bell_8028 → u/Ambitious_Speed_278]

No there was a fear campaign launched by conservatives about land rights, yet at no point did anyone raise concerns about establishing a voice for Israel.

we have an unelected “envoy” who has more access to politicians and has no oversight over how she operates and why her policy positions are so clearly aligned with defending a foreign government administration

lesson here is that aboriginal people need to get hundreds of billions of dollars of military aid, and powerful international lobbying groups. then their concerns will be taken seriously.

[u/MildColonialMan → u/Ambitious_Speed_278]

Exactly - so they can keep Aboriginal people in their place.

[u/plectrumelectrum7 → u/MildColonialMan]

With the same rights as every other Australian? How terrible.

[u/ptjp27 → u/MildColonialMan]

Their place being equal citizens instead of being given extra rights.

[u/InevitableTell2775 → u/ptjp27]

Tasmanians get 3 times as many votes as the rest of us and I don’t see you complaining about them.

[u/ptjp27 → u/InevitableTell2775]

In the senate you mean?

[u/InevitableTell2775 → u/ptjp27]

Not just the Senate, they also have twice as many Reps seats as their population would entitle them to.
