It's simply one step closer to abbos setting themselves up as the owners and claiming we owe them more and more so they can sit on their asses and do stuff all.

I propose free grog, in any quantity to every abbo.
Free smokes as well.
And all the free KFC they can carry.

That will bring their numbers down pretty quick.

We should have:

A statement in the Constitution acknowledging the First Nations as the original inhabitants of Australia.

The establishment of an Aboriginal Voice - advisory group to offer input into the laws of our nation.

The setting in train of a Treaty between the Government of Australia and the First Nations people.

That all sounds fine but please at the end of it can we ALL then be australians, all with equal rights and responsibilities, and equal welfare entitlements.

If it is only tokenism, then that is understandable.

Or you can take their kids away from them, claiming that they're unfit parents when they're not, then integrate the children into the wider community so that they have offspring that breeds them out of existence due to their genetic makeup.

Oh wait.....

Like Howard's tokenism referendum in 1999? The one to insert a preamble in the Constitution?

How did that go again? It FAILED.
