Australia is so messed up!
We recently had a referendum to change our constitution.
Our Prime Minister TLDR’d the voters on the 120pg “Statement from the Heart” document that was the basis for calling the referendum. He did read the 1 page summary.
The statement consultation process concerning the ongoing welfare of our 150 First Nation “mobs” (distinct tribes) was attended by approx 250 people, only 100 of the representatives were First Nations, some mobs walked out citing it was a one way dialogue, not a consultation. That means we’ll over half the delegation we’re white.
There is no information available on how many mobs were actually represented at the consultation but clearly no more than 2/3rds (100 First Nation representatives. Approx 150 mobs, some mobs had multiple representatives). We do know that some mobs walked out, in protest.
Only the ACT (smallest Australian territory by size and population) voted yes, all other states overwhelmingly voted no. Nationally more than 60% of voters voted no.
In Queensland some electorates had over an 80% no vote. Many First Nations people advocated for the ‘no’ vote.
Yet, here come the best part… the Queensland premier has just granted ALL Queensland public service employees 5 days of paid leave (paid by producers) to mourn the decision!!!
So much for democracy…
