I hope the Australian public is better than to fall for this. Though I fear we collectively are no better than the USA… somehow Abbot and Morrison were both elected after all.

broad popular rejection of the Aboriginal recognition referendum suggests that there’s a mood of having had a gutful of progressive ideas.
I wouldn’t use that as an indicator. From the outside it’s progression and it’s certainly textbook but we are fucking weird about indigenous rights. We’d vote in a puce-haired enby and pat ourselves on the back for being enlightened before even considering an Aboriginal PM
