  • Design principles are not legislation, it seems you are unfamiliar with Parliamentary process.

    Additionally he (Anthony Albanese) stated that if the referendum is successful, another process would be established to work on the final design, with a subsequent government produced information pamphlet stating that this process would involve Indigenous Australian communities, the Parliament and the broader community, with any legislation going through normal parliamentary scrutiny procedures.

    The final design being the legislation.

    I hope that clears things up for you.




  • A few of the arguments or concerns voiced by Australian’s included:

    -A Voice with no power is pointless

    -Lack of detail in the proposal

    -Separating Australian’s by race is divisive (note there’s already constitutional race powers, which I disagree with and hope will be scrapped)

    -ATSI people would have more representation than others (they actually have proportionally higher representation in Parliament today than their percentage of population)

    -Leaving the exact details of the Voice to legislation means any future government could gut it without violating the constitutional amendment

    -concerns this is the first push on a path to treaty and reparations as a percentage of GDP (which WAS discussed as a possibility by the people who worked on the Uluru statement)

    I’ve left out the outright lies, though I guarantee someone will take issue with me simply mentioning the talking points to give you context.




  • There are essentially two parts to what was proposed, the first is that having mention of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island (ATSI) peoples in the constitution is recognition.

    The second part, which is actually the exact mechanism which was proposed, was a permanent advisory body made up of ATSI representatives with constitutional power to give advice to the Government on issues related to or impacting ATSI people.

    The exact details of the advisory body were up to legislation which we will probably never see.





  • The reason you expect this is because Windows has a file lock behaviour that won’t let you delete a file when it’s in use, in Linux this limitation doesn’t exist.

    Raymond Chan, arguably one of the best software engineers in the world, and a Microsoft employee, has repeatedly lamented the near malware like work arounds developers have had to invent to overcome this limitation with uninstallers.

    Think about uninstalling a game. You need to run “uninstall.exe” but you don’t want uninstall.exe to exist after you’ve run it… but you can’t delete a file that’s in use. Uninstall.exe will always be in use when you run it….so how do you make it remove itself?

    Schedule a task? Side load a process? Inject a process? Many ways…. But most look like malware.

    Linux has never suffered this flaw.


  • Historical genocide and racism that has lead to intense trauma, substance abuse and poverty? Absolutely.

    Racism from the people issuing protection orders to try and keep children safe? Ehhh maybe a little but my gut says the majority of protection orders are issued with valid reason.

    It does not help at all that Aboriginal Australian children have one of the highest rates of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder of any demographic in the world.

    FASD makes kids near impossible to control, they’re often violent and this of course results in even more domestic violence…. Which leads to the next generation being abused… and the cycle repeats.

    So what can we do to stop this cycle?

    You can’t throw money at people deep into substance abuse. You can’t cure FASD. Telling an abuser that beating their wife and kids is bad… doesn’t really work. They know it’s bad and they don’t care, believe me I know from personal experience. You can’t magic genuine economic opportunities out of thin air and into remote communities.

    If it were an easy problem to fix it probably would’ve been fixed by now.
