If Anthony Albanese, current prime minister, is in support of and vowed to install the Indigenous Voice advisory board, why can’t he just do it? He also made a comment beforehand that he would respect people’s decision if they vote no, implying that he might be able to override it if he wanted to.

"the PM on Sunday said Labor would “respect the response of Australians next Saturday”.

“If Australians vote no, I don’t believe that it would be appropriate to then go and say, ‘Oh, well, you’ve had your say, but we’re going to legislate anyway’.”

I personally believe that what white Australians want is irrelevant to the fundamental rights that the original owners of this land deserve, and he should have just done it if he was able to.

    is a more appropriate way

    No it isn’t. It’s a silly less clear way. And it doesn’t add anything, because any judgment that might be implied by the use of the term “developed” or “developing” is still carried by the terms “global north” and “global south”, because the terms are nothing other than a euphemism for the same thing.

      I didn’t come up with these terms. That’s just what I was taught in an international development class. But you’re always welcome to publish your criticisms and contribute knowledge to this discussion if you feel that your expertise in this area is sufficient.
