OT: Current Affairs and Politics

For starters $400m is some good bonus' to get doctors or teachers to move in these areas. Not sure how you fix employment

Employment is hard you need to build schools hospitals infrastructure..

That leads to jobs. But you need to build that not just deliver empty promises

Which is hard because you need tradies and construction materials which is short but yes. Head to the centre of North of Australia the issues are there to see

The issues across the Outback are horrible fix them and you fix some of the issues, Non Aboriginal country people are more likely to move to better services so hence numbers look better

This should be addressed this is what should have been the headline I stead of a referendum..

It's funny how all we are hearing now from upset people from the city the referendum got turned down..

Can't TV cameras work out where we actually need to see the people effected?

Bullcrap. I have been an advocate for months.

 

[Gronk]

This guy's rant is worth a watch. He's having a go at the traditional blue ribbon liberal seats of Wentworth and Kooyong, where Australia's most expensive homes are located - and they voted a hard yes. His angle is that Jacinta said that Aboriginals didn't want it, so all the yes voters are dumb.

If only there was some indigenous body that had knowledge of local issues that could advise the government about ways to fix employment and improve health care/education

Every single Sky News host reminds me of those TV evangelist preachers in the 1980s... rehearsed wording, practiced moves, shifty as f**k trying to convince their audience to agree with whatever nonsense they are spouting that week.

Maybe we should compare kids from Double bay and their opportunities compared to the kids from Mt druit. I doubt it is the same regardless of race.

Theres no browny points in caring about white westie kids ..... ffs they dont even have a flag you can put in your social media profile

 

[IFR33K]

Well if child mortality rate of kids in Mount Druitt was double that of kids in Double Bay, there would be riots in the streets. It's not.

But the death rate of indigenous kids before age 5 is double the rate of ours. Acceptable ? Never.

And you think a yes vote would lower any death rate?

imagine being an advocate for something for months on an internet forum, yet when you have an opportunity to pay for some homeless man’s medical expenses ($60) you just walk away and turn a blind eye. I wonder if he was an aboriginal man.

I’m sure there’s a term for this @hineyrulz

They aren't going to do that now that the voice didn't pass?

As a 40 year Westie

Any of all of these are fit the bill



Yet... vote no = racist

Ode to Yes #1 of 3.

Australia lost its voice this week
the “dum was done and dusted
not the best for something else
To help a system busted.

It wasn’t very detailed, nobody quite knew
how it worked in real time, quite the witches brew.

The spin was everywhere you went
They are coming for our homes
They’ll take our kids and families
And steal our garden gnomes.

There was something else to offer
To lay to rest at last
the fiction of Australia
With only 240 years of past

I love our sunburnt country
Our flora and fauna too
And our indigenous heritage
I ….I celebrate that too.

Lol. Relevance syndrome.

If the Yes team wanted to get it across the line maybe Instead of having rich celebs tell us what to do they could have spent 90% of the time in the communities explaining the issues and what the solution will be if we vote yes?

Theres wasn’t any solution in a yes vote, only maybe a better potential for one, if the current system is allegedly just Morris dancing.

But Agree with your rich celeb critique.

A lot of them now realise they are ignored, out of their depth and no one really cares about their mindless self serving views.

It actually wasn't that hard to understand what the Yes vote would deliver.

Right now the biggest issues in the world are what's happening in Israel /Palestine and Ukraine. Civilians are being slaughtered. It's terrible. We all must pray for peace.
