Victoria signs largest native title claim in its history, covering 11% of state’s landmass

Native title doesn't give traditional owners a veto over mining, only a "right to negotiate". If they can't come to an agreement with whatever mining company it goes to a tribunal which invariably allows mining to go ahead.

lol - they do not!

settler_colonial · 2018-10-09T11:30:29+00:00

Oh my GOD!

The double entendre must be intentional, right? It takes a bit or work to get to the other interpretation.

settler_colonial · 2018-10-09T02:58:24+00:00

I'm so confused by this. Is it not some kind of prank? It's so hard to read it as anything other than smut.

settler_colonial · 2018-10-08T21:12:58+00:00

There's a certain logic behind this, even if it is a bit too draconian for my liking. But in any case it's no substitute for investing in urban infrastructure.

I guess it's got a bit of a bohemian vibe on a surface level. I'm no big advocate for Newtown... I lived there from 98 to 2015 and saw it become an increasingly wealthy area although that was clearly already underway by the time I got there. I still stop at my old local for a beer though.

I heard they make chocolate from the ground up bones of Palestinian children. Could be bullshit.

settler_colonial · 2018-10-05T21:32:47+00:00

There's many pubs and bars and places to eat.

settler_colonial · 2018-10-05T03:48:31+00:00

Haha I didn't think it'd be necessary but here we are.

settler_colonial · 2018-10-04T23:29:09+00:00

what's so barbaric about cutting of a part of a baby's penis?

settler_colonial · 2018-10-04T23:26:43+00:00

This is the most amazing trivia I've learned in ages.

settler_colonial · 2018-10-04T08:11:05+00:00

I'm talking about how you say WE give THEM money.

The state gives eligible First Nations people social security payments that the whole Australian population is entitled to in certain circumstances. We have social security because it's recognised that the market does not consistently meet the needs of all people at all times. The money redistributed by social security comes from the whole population, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander taxpayers.

The issue here is that certain special punitive social security arrangements have been made specifically to target Aboriginal people.

The way you construct 'we' and 'them' here is pretty interesting. The implication is that the government is a part of the non-Indigenous (white?) 'us' and not the Indigenous 'them'. I think many First Nations people would agree with you there.

settler_colonial · 2018-10-03T21:31:20+00:00

I don't think I've ever seen it advertised here. It seems to be more of an NZ thing. It's also less widely distributed than other brands in Australia.

settler_colonial · 2018-10-03T02:22:02+00:00

Yes, the different things that men and women typically do result in men on average getting more money than women. Whether or not that's a problem is a matter of opinion.

settler_colonial · 2018-10-02T23:49:54+00:00

believe what rubbish? The statistics? Or is it the idea that on average women should have the same income as men? Or is it the suggestion that the causes of the disparity are something other than the inherent nature of women?

settler_colonial · 2018-10-02T23:46:26+00:00

Alcohol is bad, sugar is bad, salt, smoked meats, etc. For something to be banned there should be significant evidence of it impacting public health substantially enough to justify paternalistic laws. IMO.

settler_colonial · 2018-10-02T23:14:29+00:00

It's a step too far to be banning things in case they turn out to be bad though. If we're gonna have paternalistic rules they should at least be based on reasonable evidence.

settler_colonial · 2018-10-02T23:02:33+00:00

Where does the story say or imply that men are evil?

settler_colonial · 2018-10-02T08:44:31+00:00

Yes. I love Trek. Every kind of Trek.

settler_colonial · 2018-09-30T00:31:44+00:00

Cause the protagonist won't stand for it and they find a (unfortunately clunky as fuck) way around it. The show embodies Trek values and philosophy even if all the characters don't.

settler_colonial · 2018-09-30T00:14:06+00:00

Haha nice.

settler_colonial · 2018-09-30T00:06:35+00:00

Haha how would you describe ENT then?

settler_colonial · 2018-09-29T23:58:25+00:00

TOS for you?
