Man, I didn't know Australia was full of idiots. There was absolutely no reason to vote no to this. It was simply a group that would give feedback to the Australian Senate. Feedback from a marginalized group of the land you stole. Feedback that could simply be ignored by the Senate. It was simply giving that group a voice. How you could vote against that, I have no clue.

Of course there was. Enshrining different rights to different people in the constitution based on their race, is fundamentally objectionable.

That's already occurred. Google it.
