Comment on Dutton flip-flops on proposals for three separate referendums if Coalition wins election
princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks agoIndigenous recognition is an interesting one. The LNP undermined the ALPs referendum on recognition. If the LNP floated their own then ALP would be under a lot of pressure to support it, but of course the LNPs “recognition” would be tepid and I’m almost certain would limit equality in the future rather than promote it.
I genuinely think the proposal, to recognise indigenous history in the constitution’s preamble, is that lukewarm that ALP could easily not support it. The vast majority of indigenous rights groups aren’t going to consider it good enough.
