My view is that the suggested change to our constitution, to include a section based on race alone, would be unlawful by accepted world standards.
Especially as the 'race' involved is inside the country.
Were it an external racial entity, there might be some justification?
And I still have no idea exactly who wants the change.
I need names and numbers.
And I have yet to hear even one good reason for a change.
And without that, surely we must embrace the status quo, and remain as we are?

On an unrelated matter.
Matthew Doran at the ABC seems not to know how to ask a question.
Instead he makes a speech, which might, or might not, include a question buried in it somewhere.
He is painful to listen to.
Does anyone have any practical idea on how to put him straight?
I should add that other 'presenters' on the ABC are much the same.
Except Sarah Ferguson, who is quick and accurate.
However, she does seem to be a bit shallow sometimes, and appear not to grasp the significance of some subjects under discussion.

Foxy can call us chimps but others can't talk about some others as chimps or apes- double standards. Perhaps Foxy is a chimp. Chimp Empire was interesting- their females leave the tribe when they come of age.

Foxy, did you call the Kudos Kid a chimp? Please don't insult the chimpanzees, its their feeding time. Anyway I can't find any insult by you directed at anyone here, least of all the arch communist the Kudos Kid himself!

Paul1405,
What is in your book more offensive, ignorantly calling inner City dwellers Concrete Jungle Bunnies or deliberately calling an OLO poster a Chimpanzee ?

Indy,

Where has Foxy called another poster a chimpanzee? I asked the question, then I said I couldn't find an insult directed at anyone here. Foxy published a poem, the Kudos Kid posted; "Foxy can call us chimps", but she didn't. Not like YOU who directly called me by name a "concrete jungle bunny" in a reference to me living in a city with Aboriginal heritage, glad you admit you are ignorant.
