Why do you think 51(xxvi) was created?
For the white Australia policy there was a referendum in 19 something that removed indigenous peoples exception
Yes, so there we have it. The white race has historically held exclusive powers within the constitution. An Indigenous Voice, on the other hand, would have no such power. If you want to cry about racism, you should start with white Australians, rather than the most disadvantaged minority group in the country.
Historically being the key word their we realised our mistakes and became a better nation because of it. Also ur missing the fundamental understanding that causation is not correlation. By saying what you said your are implying they are disadvantaged because of their race. Historically they where seen as lesser because of their race that has been abolished for very good reason. However the historical president has set many up for failure this has been carried forward through many things like intergenerational wealth inequality etc. By solving a problem for a specific race we are not solving the underlying issue that not all people have equality we are solving a subset of that issue and only addressing disadvantaged people contingent upon their race. If you think they white Australia policy was a mistake as you should how can u stand by as we separate the nation based upon nothing but race?
