Is the Voice doomed?

More surveys and polls indicate that a ‘Yes’ vote in the upcoming referendum is looking less and less likely.

The conservatives support a ‘No’ vote, of course, and their stand is not about politics, point scoring, or wanting to stick it up the Labor Government rather than progressing First Australians lives, of course! And the sky is green and the moon is made of cheese!

The naysayers’ arguments can be refuted easily, but the bottom line of their stand is not about logic or thoughtful consideration. It’s this: once again, non Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people, will decide what’s best for them!

Argue about the legalities, the Constitutional niceties, or why it’s all too complicated however much you like, but the reality is that it’s about racism.

More Americans killing other Americans

Another day, another slaughter of little children and adults. This time it’s at a school in Nashville.

More, “oh, it’s terrible, what a tragedy, shock, horror, etc etc etc.”. BUT NOTHING EVER CHANGES! YES, I’M SHOUTING! IT’S WORTH SHOUTING ABOUT!

But it’s too late, of course. If the impossible happened and the USA banned personal weapon ownership today, there would still be millions of guns and rifles in millions of households. There would be civil war if an American government tried to ban guns and rifles and/or said these weapons must be handed in. Add Trumpian rhetoric and other ultra right insanity, and extraordinary problems lie ahead for the land of the free!
