Individual,

Our constitution is one of the few constitutions
in the world today with negative race powers
allowing governments to make laws and policy
that pointedly trample the rights of Indigenous
people.

The Australian Constitution currently contains no
protections against racial discrimination and
the parliament is capable of suspending existing
statutory protections.

Indigenous Australians should be treated the same as all other Australians.

What we want/need are one Australia and one people.

No special rights for any one group.

Is it not racist to have an Indigenous Football Team?

All other Australians are barred and selection is not only on ability but on race.

The only people to be recognized in the Constitution should be Australians, without any racist overtones.

Foxy,

You said,

"The only way we can change the
Constitution is if a majority of voters in a majority of
states vote YES at a Referendum. I'm sure that the
majority of Australians would. The same as they did
for same sex marriage.

I'll say again, the majority of Australians did not vote for same
sex marriage.

Bye the way, the Constitution could be changed if the majorities voted 'NO', it depends on how the question is phrased.

Is Mise,

The majority who voted did!
The legislation has been passed
accordingly.

HenryL,

I don't misrepresent anything.
I state the facts. I can't be
held responsible for people's
comprehension skills (lack of).
