No 'alternative'. Treat everybody the same. Vote NO.

Not sure I agree with the secession idea. As with Scotland leaving the UK the breakaway state may not have the tax base. The article seems to imply there is not only a white guilt thing but urban aborigines who have done well seem to hope it will help remote area people. Again I'm not sure moving remote youth to the city will help if they would struggle with uni and TAFE.

The article also points out how 'truth telling' is one sided. Sure bad things happened in the past. The counter story is that most of those claiming to be aboriginal are speaking the invader's language, have some Caucasian ancestry and live off the wealth stemming from the invasion. Assimilation and not perpetrating division is the only answer.

A lot of truth, but a lot of pie in the sky too unfortunately.

An incredibly unconvincing argument of little merit. When the referendum is on the table, we will know exactly what we are being asked to decide! Until then pieces like this are purely speculative and or, patent propaganda.

They already have a voice which seems to have gone under the radar.

No Alan. We won't know what will happen until after the referendum - if it is successful. Not knowing what will happen is what a lot of the argument has been about. Perhaps you missed that. No normal pre-refererendum convention; no knowledge of what yes-voters are letting themselves and the rest of us in for.
