>>1092980>Can someone give me the rundown on what the establishment hopes to achieve with this?State stability through "appeasement". I.E thinking that representative politics/ democracy is what will save us and having an advisory role, but offering no legitimate and political reformation/ policy change will actually aid indigenous people. This isn't getting into the fact that mining companies also support the "indigenous voice". It's another example of decolonisation being co-opted by libs and the state to serve its own ends, as opposed to giving indigenous people autonomy.
All in all, it's just a way for the Australian state to create an illusion of progress but doing nothing other than change the appearence of their government, thinking that if we have indigenous representation this will help indigenous people as a whole.
>>1095047>It is an exhibition that charts the history of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people in Australia's armed forces.Again, ties into the whole "if we represent opressed people in state institutions, we'll move forward as a country." Being Bisexual myself, I could give a fuck about gay soldiers, unless they're vets who've been fucked over by capitalism and are seeking to right past wrongs. Does it suck that homophobic abuse was levelled? Of course. Does this mean that we should champion LGBTQ people because they served our government? By this logic, let's invite cops to pride! Never mind that it was the Australian government which nearly passed the Religious Freedoms bill! Nah, it's alright, cos we got gays in the gov. Fucking unbelievable.

>>1103734>>1103743There needs to be an alternative to the ACTU because there are unions that don't like it. There are two international trade union federations: ITUC (run by the CIA) and WFTU (formerly run by the KGB, now run by the Greek Communist Party). Of course the ACTU is affiliated with the ITUC, but there is one ACTU member union (the CFMEU) that's affiliated with the WFTU.
There needs to be a WFTU affiliated federation of Australian trade unions. As well as the CFMEU, the Retail and Fast Food Workers Union would probably be interested in joining.

So green seem to not be 'wrecking' atm (At least so far as anything Labor does can be 'wrecked').
What does this mean if the two (Lab-Grn) manage to hold it together till next election? (Assuming some crazy black swan event like war with china / GFC 2.0 dosen't happen)
No.1106406
>>1106404what do you mean "hold it together"? Eventually things will get worse and the ALP will give some marginal half arsed support which would just be enough for a re-election. I don't know what angle the Libs would be going for in the future though,I guess they're just waiting for an opportunity to get back in the public eye.
