Australia has overwhelmingly rejected a plan to give greater rights to Indigenous people in a referendum. Does giving greater rights mean that the indigenous who have had less rights will now have the same rights or does it mean that they will have more rights than non-indigenous? Would these rights be permanent or temporary?
Did the indigenous vote en-mass for the party who put this forward? Would America’s black citizens vote en-mass for slave reparations? Should the ancestors of Union soldiers who paid the maximum sacrifice now have to pay reparations to people who were never slaves? Worse still to pay black Americans whose ancestors were never enslaved!
And that is all I’m going to say about that!
