MODERATORS
So do some reading, see what the legal community is saying, look for political academics commenting. Just stay away from political campaign drivel.
For me, I expect us to be an international laughing stock if we vote this down. We already have a reputation for serious racism and a referendum like this failing would make me actively seek alternative citizenship just out of embarrassment.
As for indigenous Australians, if we vote no I hope they start to radicalise. I’ll be on their side
Lol, give it up tankie it ain't gonna happen 🤣
???
So avoiding politics and listening to legal and academic (bourgeoisie) opinions is Communist?
Ok boomer
Lol I'm not quite old enough to be a boomer
Whatever happens with the referendum you aren't going to see many radical First Nations people. There will always be a small few who are, like now, but generally no it ain't gonna happen
A no vote at the referendum means an effective end of the path to a treaty; you’re vastly underestimating the importance of this in indigenous communities.
