Australians have resoundingly rejected a proposal to recognise Aboriginal people in its constitution and establish a body to advise parliament on Indigenous issues.
Saturday’s voice to parliament referendum failed, with the defeat clear shortly after polls closed.
Yeah but this is the present.
Canada is actively shitty to their indigenous people.
I’m from the UK so I can vouch that the government are actively shitty to it’s not rich people.

One of the stupid things they did with this referendum was they bundled the constitutional recognition along with the stupid “voice to parliament”. If they did 2 questions, or just the recognition one, I have no doubt the constitutional recognition would have passed with easily 60%+.
Constitutional recognition? Good.
“The Voice”? Bad.
As is the US. Let’s have a threesome!
Down 😊
It could be ignorance, but as a Canadian of European descent, I’d have claimed we were passively shitty more than actively shitty.
