  1. In what world do you think a government needs a referendum to enact legislation. If you don’t understand the difference between constitutional change (that required a referendum) and a truth commission that can be legislated in the same manner a Royal commission is, then you need to get a refund from whichever education establishment you went to. You were dudded.

  2. Thankyou for your honesty. Your comment explains a lot as to why the No vote got up.

  3. Would that be the Royal Commission into Child sex Abuse that was legislated under a Gillard Labor government in 2012 and provided its final report to the LNP government in 2017. That’s only 5 years ago. Do you have the memory of a goldfish?

  4.  @lesblack413  The final report was delivered to Dutton when he was in cabinet ask him what he did.

  5.  @alexg3434  WTF are you on. The final report was delivered to the Libs when they were in power in 2017. 6 years ago. What did they do with the recommendations, they were in government at the time. Your comment in nonsensical rubbish. You just made up shit in your head that is a demonstrable lie.

  6. What are you so terrified of, it is nothing much more different to a Royal Commission.

  7.  @Ni-boo  Factually incorrect. The High Court decided 6 to 1 that the land did belong to the indigenous people according to English common law (it was called the Mabo decision). That decision is irrevocably the law. It can’t be appealed your opinion is just factually wrong.

  8.  @deniserothwell6325  Factually and demonstrable wrong. Our High Court decided 6 to 1 that according to English common law Indigenous people can claim land ownership rights. It was called the Mabo decision and it is irrevocable. It is the law. Your opinion is just wrong.

  9.  @deniserothwell6325  You said they never had a concept of ownership. That comment is factually incorrect as was proved in the high court. Indigenous people did in fact have a concept of land ownership. Read the Mabo ruling. You are just wrong.

  10.  @deniserothwell6325  In Mabo v. Queensland (No. 2), judgments of the High Court inserted the legal doctrine of native title into Australian law. The High Court recognised the fact that Indigenous peoples had lived in Australia for thousands of years and enjoyed rights to their land according to their own laws and customs. They had been dispossessed of their lands piece by piece as the colony grew and that very dispossession underwrote the development of Australia as a nation. I will repeat rights to their land according to their own law and customs. Just because you are ignorant of those laws and customs is your problem. You are just factually wrong in your comment.

  11. With the last Newspoll survey giving Labor a 54 to 46 2PP your comment is literally nonsensical idiocy. As a conservative all you would be doing is giving Labor another 3 years in power.

  12.  @norettaknight8712  I have no idea why you think electoral popularity and the referendum vote are linked. There were no calls from the Conservatives for Howard to resign when the two questions he put forward in the 1999 referendum were defeated. Your comment is just illogical nonsense. The referendum vote was lost nationally 60-40. That is just a fact. It’s you conservatives who need to move on and not be a bunch of snowflakes about plain factual data.

  13.  @dermo1702  Thankyou for your feedback. If you could point out any factual errors in any of my comments I will be happy to amend them.

  14. The NIAA was just audited by the ANAO. It recommended some changes, read it report. Aboriginal land councils and corporations are audited every year in accordance with the law. WTF are you talking about. Provide once piece of evidence of corruption in any of the above. Just one.
    1
  15.  @timrohds750  And you provide no evidence whatsoever of any requirement to conduct an investigation. The original comment called for an audit. I clearly pointed out these organisations are already audited regularly. I think you need to extract your head from your colon before engaging you cakehole.

  16. What exactly did the Libs do in the way of investigating alleged child sex abuse in indigenous communities in the 9 years they were in power.

  17. This comment is the perfect example of the ignorance around the Uluṟu statement. A truth commission is just a piece of government legislation, nothing much different to a Royal Commission. Don’t be such a snowflake.

  18. If factual wrong doing is established why would you be against reparations. This is what happened in Queensland regarding illegal garnering of wages of indigenous workers. What exactly have you got against justice. Is it just envy. Please explain as I am genuinely interested.

  19.  @RC-fm6bj  Any reparations would have to stand up in a court of law, as did the garnered wages of indigenous workers in Queensland.

  20. Can you please direct me to the reference material for your claim, or cite a document to support your claim. What makes you think child sex abuse is an issue that can’t be investigated. Labor did in 2012 with a Royal Commission into child sex abuse. What did the Libs do in 9 years?

  21. Did you even read the ballot paper you were given? See if you can repeat it back to me.

  22.  @VK6AB-  Obviously you can’t understand plain language english. “may make representations” means in the context of the paragraph to give advice. This inability to understand plain english and your conspiracy theories explains for me why you voted no. Thankyou for your reply.
    1
  23.  @VK6AB-  The SG and numerous High Court judges and constitutional academics all publicly stated the wording was legally sound and extremely unlikely to be subject to high court action. I’ll take their opinions over your expert any day. I do enjoy your wacky conspiracy theories though.

  24. Actually the remote polling booth results from the NT, QLD, and WA show an overwhelming vote of yes. You are factually wrong.
    1
  25.  @Ni-boo  I didn’t say they hadn’t. I detailed remote polling booths that are explicitly predominantly aboriginal. Those booths overwhelmingly voted Yes. What evidence of a postcode that is majority aboriginal voting No or are you just making shit up?
    1
  26.  @maccart67  I didn’t say you didn’t. I detailed multiple remote polling booths across the NT, WA, and QLD that are significantly aboriginal. Those booths overwhelmingly voted Yes.
    1
  27. @jenzag7621  correct. I didn't dispute your assertion that some indigenous people voted no. Some indigenous people wear pink underwear is as pointless as your assertion, it is meaningless. I provided hard indisputable data that shows indigenous people in remote locations overwhelmingly voted yes. I provided context you didn't.
    1
  28.  @Ni-boo  What an idiotic comment. The data I used is straight from the AEC and is independent and indisputable. The No vote won in a national 60/40 split. All I have pointed out is some polling booths voted overwhelmingly yes. I’m not sure you understand the context of the discussion.
    1
  29.  @Ni-boo  The Australian Electoral Commission. They ran the administration of the referendum and federal elections. I’m not sure what planet you are on, but the one I’m on I was specifically talking about referendum polling. In five previous comments it was perfectly clear what I was discussing. I mentioned literally nothing about violence in indigenous communities.

  30.  @farangutan6773  You clearly don’t understand the Uluṟu statement. It asked for three things. Constitutional recognition (this required a referendum. No won the vote easily) treaty, and a truth commission. Neither of the last two requires anything more than legislation. Labor have publicly stated they will not legislate a voice. It doesn’t need to the NIAA already exists to provide advice to government on indigenous issues. You don’t really know much about this do you?

  31. You can’t even get a basic data fact correct. No wonder you voted no.

  32. Oh yeah no hyperbole there.

  33. Makarrata isn’t an entity. WTF are you talking about?
    1
  34.  @tadeuszmichaelwlodarczyk3120  I assume to understand the disgusting level of racism in your comment. What you would call Jacinta Price a black mongrel and ripping off the system for years with no evidence of your claim, is fairly pathetic.
    1
  35. No to constitutional recognition. Clear as a bell. Nowhere on the question was there anything about truth telling or treaty. I’m assuming of course you actually read the ballot you were given.
