Oh yeah, baby. Frame your suffering as a masterpiece. Only one problem - no one's watching. It's boring, buddy, boring as death.

Dutton blowing the dog whistle of child sexual abuse and indigenous spending only to be followed by Jacinta saying that Australia isn’t racist is some poo poo.

digging more coal out of the ground will bootstrap the indigenous communities into the stratosphere, much like the remains of indigenous cultural sites thanks to rio tinto and ziggy fuckface

We actually know from the results that all bar one electorate that had a 20%+ share of Greens election votes overwhelmingly voted yes. We know every Teal seat voted yes. Only one Liberal electorate voted yes. We have data on age and wealth and voting patterns, elections are hard data. Largely this was a no of apathy and ignorance. Indigenous affairs are never in the top 10 of issues across the 'common' electorate. Its a fringe issue and making Australians care about both the constitution and a fringe social issue is a double shot of concrete especially with socially conservative areas of the country having an outsized say.

We know that the Yes vote has cultivated a big groundswell (apparently the largest grassroots organising body), people who were Yes were a hard yes, whereas No could coast on apathy and even the slightest questioning and misinfo. Hopefully this groundswell gets leveraged for more progressive social policies.

We can also infer that the 'progressive no' vote was irrelevant in progressive seats and only helped the non-progressive Labor seats and LibNat electorates justify their lovely social positions and that they'll immediately become irrelevant until their useful idiot position can be exploited again. Thorpe was useless as the local member for Northcote in the Victorian Parliament and was quickly voted out for it, and it's sad that the Greens thought they could change her again.

Certainly the people who chant Heil Hitler when they have their aggravated assault charges dismissed and have a long history of violent offending won't do it again. What a loving idiot judge, should be disbarred and banned from public life. She's condemned some other people to racist violence.

why cant they just transfer the guy to a prison and let him spend the rest of his days there instead of the detention centre hes in?

Because they can't circumvent the courts -that- overtly and directly by sending people to actual prison, but immigration detention that totally isn't prison doesn't count.

The federal CPSU just totally gave in to the stingy offer on the table for the APS. Hope the Victorian branch has a lot more of a spine
