Australians have resoundingly rejected a proposal to recognise Aboriginal people in its constitution and establish a body to advise parliament on Indigenous issues.
Saturday’s voice to parliament referendum failed, with the defeat clear shortly after polls closed.
Hmm, maybe it’s because in our western states Indian tribes are a larger percentage of the population, or maybe it’s because our mistreatment of the various tribes has led to countless wars and atrocities; but I couldn’t imagine a scenario where one party established this branch and another removes it. But I’m not from Australia.
