Oh I see so you are the arbiter of whether somebody is "black enough".
Australian "The Voice" referendum gets a solid no vote to allow further indigenous representations.

To be considered an 'Aboriginal'.... its a matter of fact some of the 'Aboriginal' activists for this are are as a pale as me! Really stretching out the 'one drop' rule.
And its not as if we haven't had cases of people lying about supposed 'native' ancestry now is it... Some 'disadvantage' when people have to lie about being in the group

My best mate who happens to be an Aussie who's now living back there said the no campaign won the same way the brexit campaign did, through fear mongering, lying and disinformation.
It seems to have worked.
'How pale'. I mean, c'mon, that whole subsequent sentence just reveals a level of ignorance that takes some beating.
Yeah the usual BS when people don't vote for the garbage you lot love
Go cry some more... you can literally post videos of one of the key architects of this garbage praising communism and saying how they are going to use any power they are given to force stuff through and you lot act like its nothing
It's an observation. A lot of the people very invested in pushing this through clearly are of very 'mixed' heritage but yet decide to push themselves forward as 'oppressed'. A grift so lucrative we have had cases elsewhere of people faking their ancestry to claim 'native' status.
So why don't you take you ignorance of the facts elsewhere?

True story. I got banned from a UK based TV forum some years back because I dared to mention the actress Carrie **** in thread discussing The Leftovers.
Yet more "fear mongering, lying and disinformation" which consists solely or letting prominent "yes" activists speak....
And meet Eddie Synot (the man on the right)
A 'prominent campaigner for the yes campaign' and supposed 'first nations person' who of course spends his summers studying 'critical race theory'

All adult Australians have a vote. One person, one vote. This referendum was about whether or not people of "the right race" should have extra say in government in addition to voting. Or, more accurately, about whether or not an undefined organisation claiming to speak for "the right race" should or shouldn't have undefined power without any defined limits and to have that baked into the country's constitution.

Double post somehow. I live in Stoke on Trent. The wild back of beyond. Primitive and unreliable technology is par for the course here. My internet connection is two tin cans and a piece of string and the string gets wet when it rains.

Based on 2021 Census: at 30 June 2021, there were an estimated 76,487 Aboriginal people living in the NT, representing approximately 30.8% of the NT's population and 7.8% of the national Aboriginal population.
Population - Northern Territory Economy
The Northern Territory’s population is much younger and more mobile than Australia’s general population. Here is analysis on key components of NT’s population growth.
nteconomy.nt.gov.au
The percentage of Aboriginals in the Australian Capital Territory ACT for comparison is around 2.1%
Estimates of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians, 30 June 2021
Final 2021 Census-based estimated resident population of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous Australians for various geographies

But only since 1962. How much of Australia’s statute book was decided before Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people got to vote?

I read an interesting opinion piece related to the vote. One of the claims it made was that for life outcomes aboriginals were much worse than for other Australians. It then broke this down and said for urban city dwelling aborignals their outcomes were almost the same as other Australians. It said that aborigines living in tribal land is where the outcomes were so so bad. The writer made tha argument that in the ribal lands everything is owned by the tribe, you can't own your own land/property and it is given to you by the trube. The tribe is governed by a council and the tribe recieves state hand-outs that are also distributed. The thrust of the argument was that tribal living aborigines are denied agency and sink into despair. It rings true with what I had been told in the past when I lived in Australia for a year.
Nonetheless I think this proposal sounded like a poor idea and the Australians should be happy it failed.

There's a well documented trait amongst aboriginals, (and native American Indians) towards alcohol and drug abuse, leading to or associated with criminality. The same in Canada.
Given the trouble this leads to is it any great surprise the Australian public have no stomach for empowering them further? We and they can see what happened to South Africa when a restraining hand was removed from the indigenous population and they were left to moderate themselves, politically and socially. It went downhill rapidly to become financially and socially unstable.

Technically what you are referring to "the indigenous" population were not indigenous anyway, they just happened to have the same skin colour, but it's a prime example.

You genuinely dont think thats not related to their current social situation but its a "genetic" trait they just want to get drunk and do drugs and "kill each other"?
is the Chav the UK version?
is it not because they literally have nothing better to do and live on handouts and opt out of a "capitalist" for use of a better word society?
Its like complaining that the dog hasn't tidied up and made the beds while you were at work its just nonsense for a dog to follow the rules and ideals you think are correct.
All these groups are just less evolved than the white man?

I walk on eggshells with the current moderation team, so will have to take the fifth with regards to my opinion on genetics in this regard, I hope you understand?

Is it not their country?
