Holy crap, that's depressing.

And whitey wonders why the locals have got the arseache.

Not Australian, but looking through the proposal, it seemed pretty basic. It's pretty sad that even a relatively toothless measure like this couldn't pass. Though I'm definitely not throwing stones, I'm in America.

American here and is seems from headlines that Australia suffers a lot the same brain dead schemes that we do.

And, frankly, without conservatives in general. They're an existential threat, starting from the fact that they're opposed to doing anything about climate change (well anything that doesn't make it worse, anyhow), not to mention that a nontrivial percentage of them would love to see me and others like me murdered because of our gender identity

It's an ouroboros! yaaaaaaaaaaay

On the other hand, why should a "toothless measure" become part of the constitution?

(PS: just checked US Constitution amendments, love how the 27th only took 200 years to get approved 😄)
