Comment on Prime Minister calls for 'respectful' debate after protesters target No campaign event
muntedcrocodile@lemmy.world 1 year agoHistorically being the key word their we realised our mistakes and became a better nation because of it. Also ur missing the fundamental understanding that causation is not correlation. By saying what you said your are implying they are disadvantaged because of their race. Historically they where seen as lesser because of their race that has been abolished for very good reason. However the historical president has set many up for failure this has been carried forward through many things like intergenerational wealth inequality etc. By solving a problem for a specific race we are not solving the underlying issue that not all people have equality we are solving a subset of that issue and only addressing disadvantaged people contingent upon their race. If you think they white Australia policy was a mistake as you should how can u stand by as we separate the nation based upon nothing but race?

I still don’t think you understand the concept of the voice. It’s not there to end the disadvantage of Indigenous Australians.
It’s there to recognise that they are the traditional owners of this land and that we want them to help us to move forwards together. For over 60000 years they took care of this land and developed their way of life. At the end of the 18th Century, only ~200 years ago this effectively ended. Non-indigenous Australians aren’t expected to pack up and move to Europe, and it’s unfair to demand that they give up their culture. The Voice will be a step in the right direction along a joint path
