Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
Jeez
The text of the proposed constitutional amendment can be found here. The entire extent of its "recognition" was to create a body that can make presentations to Parliament.
No, it was to give the government of the day the power to create that body however they saw fit.
anytime the government seeks to expand it's powers you need to ask yourself "Do I want the other guys to exercise this power?"
Labor already listens to our elders, the voice only needed to force future conservative governments to do the same and it failed miserably.
Damn wouldn't want any "governments of the day" to receive advice on issues that affect communities that don't get a say in what happens to them.
Why do so many of you act like this was some kind of plot to supercede power and abuse it? It was an advisory council.
It was going to be stacked with the illuminate
Edit: On second thought I really need to be sure people get it. Its sarcasm.
That wording is emotional manipulation, they are as recognised as any other Australian citizen
Edit: do you guys know the difference between "recognised" and "disadvantaged"? Because you're arguing against a point that I didn't make
No, it's not, native ppl don't live the same way as westerns, not acknowledging this is forcing them to live the way of colonizers. When you talk about sociological equality you are not talking about treating everyone the same, but respecting the differences, and this referendum is just forcing the colonizer way of living over the colonized without any dialogue, because creating the body would not mean actually a change, but even this is denied.
It's not what it seems, when you have a 17.5x more chance to the incarcerated only because where you were born, independently of why, it's clear that you is not like any other and there is a big gap between groups of power.
People are welcome to live without permanent shelter, running water or modern medicine but I doubt they'll take that option.
It's much more than where you were born, it's historical abuse and trauma from genocide so severe that communities simply don't function.
And so? What is your point here?
They do as soon as they're given the option.
My point is that you're implying ATSI people would willingly go back to traditional hunter gatherer societies and forgo the so called "westerns" lifestyle.
Take a look at every single culture on the planet that isn't an uncontacted tribe. They literally all want to live like "westerns" as you put it, and frankly who wouldn't.
Wtf dude, you just don't know what you are talking about. Implying that "if they want live their traditions they should not use medicine", also
A lot of indigenous ppl around the world want to live in this way, you have tons of documentaries showing that. If tried to learn about the topic or talk with native ppl you would know that.
you are just a racist colonizer implying your values to others.
And they're welcome to, but if they won't participate then they shouldn't reap the rewards of an advanced industrial society.
