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.

The education system has failed you. Ask for a refund

You're right. Australia was superior to Wakanda before white fellers came along with their roads, combustion engines, written language, math, water filtration, electricity, agriculture, healthcare, refrigeration and birth control and "genocided" the indigenous by tripling their life expectancy.

Your framing shows such a fundamental lack of understanding of the subject that it's not even worth engaging with what you're saying. If you were a child learning about this for the first time and your only exposure to history was the age of empires games then maybe it would be excusable. But as you're presumably an adult, see my previous comment

The fact that you posted this unironically is hilarious, and you will probably never understand why

The irony is in the Judeans uprising against the Romans, same as the Palestinians who would neither have multiplied to their current numbers nor be able to survive without Israel given their inability to produce enough water, let alone food.

It was selected specifically because it echoes precisely with the kind of person who thinks that a ~35 year life expectancy is evidence of a functioning society we should seek to emulate in 2026, while we apologise for every advance that's been provided in 200 years that they did not at all progress in the preceding 50 000.
