Change to the Constitution
The country is at present debating a referendum proposal for 2017 to uniquely recognise Aboriginals in the constitution ,
Libertarians like me be Believe a national declaration recognising indigenous Australians would be “too much of a surrender of a critical principle: that we should be treated as individuals under the law, with equal standing and common rights, and not as representatives of a ‘race’, each with a different stand
On the other side are people who believe that Aboriginals deserve unique recognition and they us as an example of minorities being given extra rights Tasmania .."As part of the price of creating a nation, voters at the Federation referendums agreed to give all states the same number of senators, regardless of population. This explains why Tasmania’s 515,000 people are represented in Canberra by the same number of senators as the 7.5 million people in NSW."
What do you think ?
Should we give minorities more than equal representation before the law in Australia..
