Reply to comment by Dessert-fathers in Australian govt. introduces Indigenous referendum bill by Kimber80

That's not what the article says. Indigenous Australians can, do, and already are representatives in government. The referendum is about establishing a specific first nations voice to parliament overall. MPs technically only represent their party and the constituents of their electorate so it is not the same thing.

I was being sarcastic, I didn't think I needed a /s tag.

Anyways, Hooray for duplicate, redundant layers of government !

This is world news, where randoms frequently comment on many threads about countries and issues they know little about, without reading the source to boot. So yeahhhhh

Nah I don't mean you're a troll, all I'm saying is in some of the bigger or main subs you can't take for granted the tone of comments just because of the variety of people posting
