    They did not steal from these people, but from their several generations long dead ancestors.

    The goal of the prosperous society should be equality between people. This law is differentiating people by their genotype.

    Worried about poor people? Just help them regardless color palette of their hair, eyes or skin.

        Feedback from a marginalized group of the land you stole.

        There’s the spot where you accused OP (or, more generally, modern-day Australians) of being land thieves.

        How old do you think OP is?

            Did you not see the parenthetical I put in that sentence? It specifically covers all of this. You wasted a paragraph complaining about something that was already addressed, and then completely ignored the actual question that is relevant.

            I’ll repeat it, in a simpler and more general form so you can hopefully understand it better. How old are the people you’re accusing of being land thieves?

                The original people who stole the land are dead.

                So when you said “the land you stole” you were talking about dead people, not about anyone who is alive. There are no identifiable “thieves” any more.

                The sins of the fathers should not be laid on their children. Helping people alive today who are disadvantaged is a fine goal, but trying to divvy those groups up on the basis of ethnicity or ancestry is simply repeating the original problem. You can ban discrimination, provide social programs, promote cultural enrichment and exchange, improve living conditions and economic opportunities for poor communities, without ever once having to make decisions on the basis of who’s grandfathers belonged to which families and have what genetic profiles.

                This is not “supporting systemic racism.” It’s the opposite.

      So we can expect the 10 of millions of dollars that bankrolled the “no” groups will now go directly to “poor people” now?

          Makes me wonder if the Yes campaign was deliberately shit to achieve exactly that. Surely they knew that they could establish it anyway without constitutional support and prove that it worked and could be trusted before going for a full referendum.
