Andrew Jakubowicz, a leading academic with specialisation in multiculturalism, feels that the success of the “Voice” referendum, to change the constitution to add what many conservatives (not him, of course) believe will be a woke third chamber of parliament, will depend upon multicultural Australia being mobilised to vote. What are the statistics now …everyone except the Aborigines is a migrant, and go back far enough and the Aborigines are migrants too. Anyway, the referendum will need to get the various migrant/diverse/ethnic groups interested in the Aboriginal issue. The handful of Anglo Saxons left, crawling around the floor, wailing in historical guilt, may be open to whatever Albo says, but why should migrant Australia care? No reason at all. I just asked the ethnic lady at the computer next to me what she thought about all this, and she did not care. She has just gone out the street for a smoke, and if she had her way, would happily smoke in the library; good for her. So, convince her, Albo and co. And, Albo, according to some reports hopes to pull this referendum of in November/December this year.
Time is on our side.
