They really aren't buzzwords, it's a short way of describing what the Uluru statement proposed. The issue is that the failure of the voice both encouraged the right wing to shit on indigenous issues and tell labor that it's not worth the political capital to touch you indigenous issues.

If you want concrete policy goals then you could look at the royal commission into aboriginal deaths in custody and email your MP to act on the recommendations. Or see if you get anything out of the reports from the yoorrook commission if you're in vic.

"here's 3 simple things we should be working on".

Three things to work on would be truth, treaty and voice? Those aren't simple though.

I think the nation accepting the voice would have been a step towards reconciliation, since it would have been a sign showing the nation accepts wrongs that exist in its history.

I dunno, sounds like the authors might be antisemitic /s

Never mind the sort of attacks that the libs/their propaganda wing are more than happy to level.

I hope you're right, but I suspect a case like this will not count still because "oh the payroll didn't work properly" means you didn't do an audit but you didn't deliberately do it.

"deliberate" seems like a pretty high bar. Of course it doesn't stop employer groups crying that literally stealing is being made illegal.

They inherited a bit of a mess thanks to covid, the global economy and the previous government.

I like how during the 10 years of lnp government it felt like we heard "we're cleaning up their mess!" what felt like all the time. But I don't recall this government saying it beyond the first few weeks. Are their political strategists dumb? Maybe.

Pretty disappointed in the Greens tbh. What they got for guillotining debate seems poultry also,

$500m for social housing energy upgrades and commitments against fossil fuel investment.

Those better be some amazing commitments that Labor definitely won't just not act on.

Don't you just love being able to rewrite history in official government releases.

It then law is written loosely enough they may just try to apply it however is politically convenient at the time. Don't like people using signal? Guess signal is social media lmao.

That's not to say the original intent is to harass software they don't like, but a law written ambiguously can be used for other things if desired.
