Is Mise,

The points I was making were:

1) In order to change
the Constitution voters would have to vote YES
in a Referendum.

2) I am sure that the majority of voters would
support this.

3) Just as they supported same
sex marriage.

In other words the support would be there as it was
for same sex marriage.

I did not mention that same sex marriage was a referendum.
Only that it was a requirement to change the Constitution.
And that the majority of voters would support it as they
did for same sex marriage.

I can't make it any clearer for you.

Dear Joe,

This is about correcting the history of the people
who inhabited this continent before European
settlement. It is time for the Australian
Constitution to reflect our Australian identity
and recognise our Indigenous history.

It is also time to remove the archaic racially
discriminatory laws to ensure equality of
treatment of all people regardless of race.

Until that is done this nation has unfinished business.

Foxy,

"2) I am sure that the majority of voters would
support this.

3) Just as they supported same
sex marriage."

There you go again, trying to change history or suffering from poor English usage.

The majority of voters didn't support same sex marriage, only a majority of those who responded to the voluntary opinion poll.

Issy, you continually try to split hairs to create an argument with Foxy, nothing is served by being so cantankerous.

Foxy thanks for the posts on this topic, they make for most interesting reading.

Yes Joe, there are many problems besetting indigenous peoples in all the lands where they are dominated by the European and his way of life. That is not to say we should not be doing our upmost to correct each and everyone of those injustices suffered by our first nation people. Even though the problems are many, and there is a long way still to travel, much is being done, and hopefully the day will come when indigenous people everywhere achieve true equality.

If fewer people didn't so opportunistically & unwarranted identify as indigenous then those "problems" wouldn't even exist !

If Aboriginals had any worth to the new colony, enslaving them would be a natural response to the colonists.

While Folau managed five thousand sympathetic votes for his persecution as a Christian, there were two hundred a fifty thousand votes in support of flying the aboriginal flag from the Sydney harbour bridge.

Sad really, our cultural heritage is considered inferior to the aboriginal cultural heritage.
