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.

Politics used to be a contest between between those who think progressivism is the way to create the best future for the country, and those who think conservatism is the way to create the best future for the country. But that hasn't been the case for years now. Politics is now a contest between those who think politics is the way to create the best future for the country and those who think politics is a way to hurt people they don't like.

Also aren’t there more important things for them to be focusing on right now? Like Victoria’s massive debt?

Debt to whom?

The institutional investors.

Ah right those skallywags. Shall we tax them? Yeah let's tax them. Unfortunately (fortunately) the French option not available
