I suggest kindness and empathy in dealing with those less fortunate. Aboriginal people ARE special in Australia. They were here for 60,000 years until we turned up. They are deeply disadvantaged and need and deserve every possible assistance to address the terrible social issues their community faces. Not much was being asked for here except the requirement for parliament to listen to aboriginal take on issues impacting aboriginal people. Look, if you don’t feel the love that’s fine, but would you mind not blocking other people from trying to lift others up? People in Australia are so selfish and greedy and grasping and unwilling to let someone else receive some kindness in case they miss out.

>People in Australia are so selfish and greedy and grasping and unwilling to let someone else receive some kindness in case they miss out. That kind of rhetoric likely isn't going to convince anyone who voted No to vote Yes instead. Personally, if I was called anything along those lines I would just vote No harder.

Idk I heard there was a multi-page addition to the constitution that used Aboriginal people to 'empathy-wash' increased powers for the government to infringe on the rights of citizens. Pretty big ask. Also heard that part of the failure was Aboriginal people saying 'hey yo, this doesn't actually represent us.' But what do I know? Maybe Aussies are just mean nazis who want to keep brown people down forever.
