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.
I probably didn’t articulate it well but “planless virtue signalling” is exactly what I meant - I suppose when it’s clearly planless (if well-intentioned) it’s easy for reactionaries to reframe what it’s really about, since the populace is ignorant but generally tired of being told how to think and why things ‘must’ change.
The fact you’re tired of “being told what to think” by “garbage media” and “militant progressives” is why you need to be told how to think
No
And if you look at the demographics that voted with the yes campaign, you’ll find it’s all the rich suburbs. Odd that they seem to know what’s right for the most disenfranchised people.
They don’t, they just virtue signal the hardest. They’re the ones that are all about helping the homeless, but don’t you dare try and house them in their suburb.
ATSI live in rich suburbs now? That’s nice progress!
Except for all the plans they released months and years ago
The vague ones subject to significant changes?
You mean “how the world works”? 🤦
Like the whore to your dad, “fuck you’re thick”
