Thats an entirely innacurate description of the current system btw. Whatever point you're making is undermined by appealing to such ignorance.
I'd be interested as to how that description is entirely inadequate. Are you saying that each bill does not require royal assent before it passes into law, and were the Queen - via her Governor General - to withdraw that assent we could make laws without her blessing?

Anyone having the power to override a democratically government is a bad thing, but the conversation was specifically about one race having that power so I used that example specifically in my response.
The way you worded it suggested otherwise, hence my confusion.
I never said it was racist to put an indigenous person in a position to veto...
Another person did, and it was to them I was referring.

Example from the Mining industry:

There is a huge push to get Women into the mining industry (which is a great thing, writing wrongs of the past where Women weren't given the same opportunity as Men)

The problem with how it's getting implemented however is that there is basically a quota system for most companies and Women are getting hired over other candidates for many roles just because they are Women.
Are you in HR, or in a management position in which you are directly responsible for the hiring of these women?

Essentially, my question to you is how can you be so certain these women are not being hired for their qualifications, or that their competence isn't also a factor to decisions between potential hires?
I think that people should be purely looked at based on their suitability and competence for the role (Man, Woman, Indigenous, whatever ect ect.)
So, 'colour blindness', then?

Defaulting to colour blindness - regardless of whether we're talking about race, gender, etc - sees you replicating the inequities of previous regimes. This is less about the rhetoric - which is perfectly fine - and more about what actually is done based off that rhetoric.
 
... which replicates the current structure of our government.


Are you saying that the current parliamentary and constitutional setup does not provide one race - that race being, the English queen - veto power over parliament? Are you saying that she cannot veto anything she does not like via her representative, the Governor General?


What's stopping the Queen from running everything, disbanding the English and Australian parliaments and declaring martial law?

So, all in all, kind of a dumb post, and in such a way it's hard to argue that your issue isn't that you don't want that specific race with control over the government.
Your idea is both insane, racist, unworkable and undoable. Attempting to do it would shatter what racial harmony we do have. If you were a complete anti Aboriginal racist, and wanted to do as much damage as possible to them, floating this idea as a realistic possibility would be a fair way to go about it.

I have no issues with changes to increase the visibility and voice of Aboriginal people in parliament, or increase their representation.

But in answer to your question, no, the Queen, nor her representative, cannot just veto legislation.

And also no, the powers of the Governor General reside in the constitution, and prescribe what amounts to a supervisory role over Australian democracy, in the interest of the nation.

Your proposal specifically relates to race.
And FYI, I think the Queen should go as well, I certainly do not want her replaced with someone specifically set to rule over us unfettered by any interest except a narrow racial interest.
 
"The simplist flaw is you are giving one race veto power over Parliament.
This essentially gives one race power over Parliament because they can veto anything they don't like."

Exactly....... just like the current system. I'm glad you get it. Time for a change. I'm certain this proposed change couldn't be worse
than the current system of government. :key:
Yes, it could.

Believe it or not, most forms of government are worse than our current form, as much as I despise Scummo and the current LNP.

He obviously knows jack schitte about management of people, developing staff and affirmative action - but is crying to complete strangers about how unfair life is.

2022 - disappointing that managers have failed to train and educate their staff.

Gutwien has done a great job during the pandemic. Right up there as one of the best performing premiers so I’d be distancing myself from Scumo the fool if I was him.
 
Your idea
... wasn't my idea, so we're off to a flying start.

Just to clarify, do you think you're running for elected office? Because, if you're not, what you've just written is lovely rhetoric but isn't an actual argument or even relevant.

Well...

But in answer to your question, no, the Queen, nor her representative, cannot just veto legislation.

And also no, the powers of the Governor General reside in the constitution, and prescribe what amounts to a supervisory role over Australian democracy, in the interest of the nation.
So, what's royal assent then, in your eyes? What would happen if, for whatever reason, royal assent were denied on a bill passed through parliament?
Your proposal specifically relates to race.
...

So, let me get this clear. The Queen of England - who is not indigenous to Australia, was not born here, as far as we are aware does not terribly care overmuch about our politics or our lives beyond the shallow, and is of a number of different European extract - is more racially involved than an indigenous Australian?
And FYI, I think the Queen should go as well, I certainly do not want her replaced with someone specifically set to rule over us unfettered by any interest except a narrow racial interest.
Isn't it lovely, all these budding republicans popping out of the woodwork!

This post is a massive glorified 'Nup'. Should you want to reconsider whether 'Nup' is an adequate answer and actually respond to what you've quoted, that'd be much more interesting.
 
Believe it or not some clods in Liberal ranks are speaking of this dodgy incompetent as a possible leadership contender if Spud Dutton and Fraudo Frydenberg get the khyber. So threadbare is the talent in that rabble.

Several years back a South Korean ship locked its radar onto a Japanese aircraft. This was apparently intentional, and as the article states there are disputes between the two nations:


Now are Japan and South Korea one step away from conflict? Of course not, so don’t try to ratchet up tensions now.

In all likelihood our relationship with Beijing will take a positive turn if the current warmongers are f**ked off from Canberra and Labor gets in. Albo has already said we need to restore our business relationship with China whilst engaging them diplomatically on other issues, so basically the relationship we had 10 years ago:


This is one of the reasons I’ll be voting for Labor, not just against Morrison.

I think the main thing that will cool the temperature with the CCP is when Xi Jinping gets ousted or 'disappears' off the scene, & a less hard line red faction takes over & looks for better foreign relations.
 
Prince Charles is Danish/Russian (Romanov) from his father. Elizabeth's mother was Scottish.

Probably points out the stupidity of having a Monarchy from the UK, imported from Europe, as the Head of the Commonwealth of Australia. Having an indigenous advisory body to Parliament is far less stupid than some hereditary merry-go-round in Europe with executive power.
But having that position exclusively the province of a First Nations person is not the answer or not an answer I will support.

Everytime I hear Penny speak my love deepens. WHAT A WOMAN



Our love deepens.

If the Liberals and their media allies change the main election conversation to China then the bogans launch into a race fueled tirade at the sight of her. No doubt Sky News is about to paint her as a CCP agent for this speech. Then unfortunately one of the best, if not the best, leaders this country could have has to be forced to the sidelines, and Labor puts bland safe non threatening guys like Chalmers to the forefront.

It's bad enough they have to limit her already because they're afraid of the reaction from the religious to her being a lesbian with children.
