Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Just another idiot doubling down on delusion.

It's got nothing to do with "right-wing" propaganda. It's just basic common-sense. Lots of left-wing people oppose the voice - Graham Richardson for example, and I'm sure there are Labor MPs that oppose it, but aren't allowed to vote against it or they get kicked out of that party. I think dividing the country by race is bloody horrible and I'd hope most sensible people would think the same. As far as I'm concerned there is only one race - the human race - and constitutionally enshrining race in the constistution would be a disaster. No group should have special powers based solely on race. I don't think people that vote yes are racists (although some hard-core leftist race activists might be, but they are a minority), but I do think the idea they are voting for is racist.

Certainly, whether you want it or not, no sporting organisation should be offering political opinions. Highly inappropriate.

I wouldn't have said Graham Richardson was left wing in any event.

 

[tandino]

Just on the advisory council topic, was there a conclusion to the Nova Peris issue of last year?

That's not really even the point. It's a matter of principle. If you want everyone treated equally, you presumably wouldn't want race enshrined in the constitution, because that's apartheid by definition. That's what the word apartheid means - "apart from"

Imagine a train coming into a station. And that station represents equality for all. You get closer to the station, but for some reason the train speeds up and goes past the station. Now it's out of control heading to destination unknown.

I know this is just a continuation of an older thread, but it does seem odd to have the prefix "Roast" on this thread with the updated subject heading....

Well it's a point you asserted to defend your position. Anyway.

Is that train on the same line as the abortion coercion station that only the black kids get out at?

What’s this obsession with race?

Uhhh yeah but anyway that's not the point. The point is it's racist...

 

[Beerfish]

The 'special power' of having a voice on legislation that affects them.

I don't think it's a coincidence who got the special treatment at Hawthorn, do you?

 

[Dan26]

You could do the same thing with ANY group then. How about a voice for men given men have unique issues (die earlier, higher suicides etc.) what about a voice for older people (health issues, loneliness etc). A Voice for women, a voice for younger people etc etc. Every group is different and has unique issues. That’s what the parliament is for - a voice for everyone, irrespective of race or gender.

What other slogans you got?

Just do it

Wait no that's Nike.

Standard right wing rhetoric. Thanks for confirming.

Love Nike. Prefer Adidas!

Yep. Fixed.

Saying the parliament represents all Australians (which it does - literally) is right-wing rhetoric? It’s a simple statement of fact. You’re just responding with partisan talking points, evidenced by the lack of word count in the response. Seven words. No real thought or ability shown to mount any argument.

 

[dank420_]

I mean you've copy pasted/memorised every single Right wing argument the no vote has. I just think it's more likely no one has time for that shit.

Go vote no, it's your right.

 

[eth-dog]

Only two questions need to be asked:

1. Will it help race relations in this institutionally racist country? Yes
2. Will it have a negative effect on white Australians at all? No

Pretty easy vote given the above

It's because I'm not going to waste my time engaging.
