Hi Josephus,

Our Constitution already divides us on race.
Our Indigenous People can and are discriminated against.
All they are asking is to have a say in matters that
will affect them.

... still waiting for some small crumb to fall their way
Paul1405,
Pity, the billions of crumbs & good will to-date had every single crumb of effort screened & rejected.

Foxy,

Your argument that aboriginal MPs are incapable of representing both aboriginal people and their electorate is illogical demeaning and racist.

Similarly is the proposal of a 3rd parliamentary chamber, to advise on aboriginal matters. Since all matters affect aboriginal people in one way or another this is ludicrous.

Who would elect the representatives? would this chamber have any real powers etc? if this 3rd chamber is only advisory, it would have no veto powers, no voting rights on legislation, and would simply be a toothless collection of rent-seekers.

Finally, would this then lead to a 4th chamber for Muslims or any other minorities?

shadowminister,
Yes, it's part of the plan ! Just like non-assimilating immigration ! Both are nothing more than Labor vote catchers.

ttbn goes out of his way to once again prove he has a commanding grasp of the complex issues surrounding this topic.

Yawn indeed ttbn. "Staying out of jail in the first place is the only recommendation that needs to be taken up or acted on."

If only life was as uncomplicated and fitted the narrative of every other right wing nutter how happy we all would be.

Aries54,
When the worry of working & paying for your family 24/7 is lifted from you then yes, it is fairly uncomplicated.
