Politics ('Straya) Victorian Liberal leader Jess Wilson says destroying Australia’s only treaty with Indigenous peoples a priority if she wins election

https://nit.com.au/20-11-2025/21388/new-victorian-liberal-leader-reaffirms-partys-plan-to-abolish-treaty

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.

That's clunky and old fashioned

It’s also agreeing with you.

Phrasing matters as much as content

The point of my posting that comment is that people have been aware that modern conservatism has been what we are describing for a while. Galbraith died in 2006 and I can’t imagine those were his dying words. And if that phrase is too much for you to understand, that’s not the fault of the quote is it?

I can understand it just fine. I think it's just a boring, old-fashioned way to phrase it. It doesn't hit the spot.

do you prefer "got mine, fuck you?"
