No I want them to do more than a token gesture that guarantees nothing while giving them ammo to do nothing for the foreseeable future because they’ve done this.

Btw I’ve literally never voted for the LNP. I’ve voted for the greens more than I’ve voted for Labor too, but sure, pretend I’m a “far right” and keep pretending everyone that’s not in love with virtue signalling is a racist.

😂 Theeeeeere we go, the “far left” “progressive” dog whistle call. Just call me a fascist nazi and get it over with, we all know you want to.

The reason for my decision to vote no is because it’s virtue signalling by people like you so you can feel smug pretending to care about a minority without actually wanting to do anything to make their life easier.

We’re done here.

I’m not going to stop saying it’s virtue signalling just because you don’t like that that’s what it is. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck….

Why doesn’t the constitution amendment have a minimum number of seats for the voice? Why is it only “it has to exist” with literally zero powers listed or any make-up constitutional protected?

It’s hilarious that you call me, someone that’s asking for more constitutionally guaranteed power for indigenous people “far right” essentially while others also call me racist 😂.

Me: let’s give indigenous people an actual position with guaranteed powers so they can actually improve their lives?

You: shut up racist, why don’t you want to just give them the bare minimum?

The harm is that it’s virtue signalling that will be used as proof that we’ve done something to help indigenous people while actually doing nothing of any substance.

Also I think anyone not worrying about the vagueness of something were being asked to put in our constitution, something that should not be taken lightly, is absolutely absurd.

Yeah imagine wanting details on something vague we’re being asked to put in the constitution 😂. Silly me. One of the biggest issues is that it’s so vague and almost completely up to the government that’s in power at the time. It basically means it’s pointless and just virtue signalling.

Read the conversation that you interjected your opinion in.

Sure, but visual studio offers a standalone purchase option and Jetbrains should too.

The point being made was that he’s indigenous and voting no, which apparently makes him a white racist according to some other posters in here that I’m replying to.

I dislike Mundine, I think he’s an idiot and a cancer to those young people that he takes under his wing, but he’s indigenous and voting no, not a racist white.

Also if there has been one thing Mundine has always been consistent about, it’s his views on systemic racism against his people and being vocal about it.

The Yes vote isn’t a solution either though, it’s virtue signalling. The only thing that would be constitutionally protected is a vague “seat at the table” that is 100% at the discretion of the current party in power. It’s basically a token gesture that can be used to then stop making any actual progress. The voice position literally holds no power whatsoever.

You’re the perfect example of the virtue signalling white person I mentioned in another comment. You feel good about yourself because you think you’re helping the black people and you then feel even better because you get to call everyone else racists…….even indigenous people that you are pretending you care about.

There is no guaranteed positive effect though like there is for gay marriage being made legal. There is definitely a huge chance that it’s just virtue signalling and used to go “look we care what indigenous people want” while doing nothing to actually help indigenous people though.

He’s not indigenous?
