Australia is a lucky country run mainly by 2nd rate ppl who share its luck. It lives on other people's ideas & although its ordinary ppl are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise

Yes Nyunggai Warren Mundine AO, why did you change your mind? Remember “Practical Recognition from the Mobs’ Perspective”, Warren Mundine 2017? Or perhaps, how much to change your mind?

NEW: Vivek Ramaswamy, who claimed he could speak truthfully on climate change b/c he's not "bought and paid for," has a $50M+ stake in an investment firm dedicating to drilling as much fossil fuels as possible. The main fund is literally called DRLL. heated.world/p/how-vivek-ra…

Brief history lesson: Indigenous people (1788-onwards): *had almost everything they are, know and own taken* Indigenous people (1901): *explicitly written OUT of Constitution by Deakin, who also authored the White Australia Policy and dehumanized Aboriginal people* 1/6

Brent Hodgson (@brenthodgson) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Indigenous people (1885-1942): *couldn't even vote, few rights... until we recruited them for WW2* Indigenous people (1944-1962): *Mostly couldn't event vote. Some like Army vets could - but only if they didn't talk to Indigenous people outside their immediate family* 2/6

Brent Hodgson (@brenthodgson) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Indigenous people (1971): *got counted as HUMANS for the first time in the Census* Indigenous people (1984): *FINALLY were treated the same as non-Indigenous people under the Commonwealth Electoral Amendment Act 1983* (This isn't ye olden days. It's _recent_ history!) 3/6

Indigenous people (throughout): "Hey this hasn't been fair!" Australian Government (2012): "Okay, how can we make things a bit fairer? Maybe put you in the constitution?" Indigenous people (2012-2017): "Let us have a bit of time to talk it over..." 4/6

Brent Hodgson (@brenthodgson) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Indigenous people (2017): "...Look, we don't think symbolic recognition actually changes anything. Asking us about policy that affects us might though." Australian Government (2017-2022): "Nah." New Australian Government (2022): "OK, let's vote on it." 5/6

After taking their lands, their cultures, their languages, their family members, and their dignity they ask us to create an advisory committee. And I fear we have the gall, the temerity, and the antipathetic acerbity to tell them it's asking too much. 6/6

P.S. - The most meaningful action you can take if you support their modest request is to volunteer for Yes23: yes23.com.au/local_yes_grou…

NO VOTERS: “Don’t make the Constitution racist!” EDMUND BARTON (first Prime Minister): “[We need Section 51(xxvi) written into the constitution to] regulate the affairs of people of coloured or inferior races who are in the Commonwealth.”

Brent Hodgson (@brenthodgson) 's Twitter Profile Photo

ALFRED DEAKIN (second PM, and constitutional Founding Father): “Other races are to be excluded by legislation if they are tinted to any degree. The yellow, the brown, and the copper-coloured are to be forbidden to land anywhere.”
