      Instead everyone who voted no is branded as racist or dumb

      I hated the idea and don’t think it was useful for anything than opening dialogue.

      But opening dialogue could have been done other ways.

      I voted yes because it’s another step.

      First Nations people already have voting and political rights, they have equal treatment under law and equal access to government monies. I want them to use that to the fullest extent possible.

      If it were me and I was in government I would ask what kind of lives they want and I would provide the opportunities for them to achieve that. For each person .

          As were most people who voted no. Many just have a different vision of what is good for society. Being a democracy we have to accept that there will always be diversity in belief and opinion about society, even when we vehemently disagree.

      You lost all credibility at “aborigines”. You know this is 2023, right? Unfortunately most Australians are motivated by rhetoric fed to them by Murdoch.
