    So do some reading, see what the legal community is saying, look for political academics commenting. Just stay away from political campaign drivel.

    For me, I expect us to be an international laughing stock if we vote this down. We already have a reputation for serious racism and a referendum like this failing would make me actively seek alternative citizenship just out of embarrassment.

    As for indigenous Australians, if we vote no I hope they start to radicalise. I’ll be on their side

        ???

        So avoiding politics and listening to legal and academic (bourgeoisie) opinions is Communist?

          Lol I’m not quite old enough to be a boomer

          Whatever happens with the referendum you aren’t going to see many radical First Nations people. There will always be a small few who are, like now, but generally no it ain’t gonna happen

            A no vote at the referendum means an effective end of the path to a treaty; you’re vastly underestimating the importance of this in indigenous communities.
