If you didn't see the news - which would be impossible in Australia as it has been getting 24/7 coverage over the weekend - the Referendum to enshrine Aborigines in the Constitution with an Advisory Board called the Voice has been spectacularly defeated. The Left are now playing the blame game and blaming everyone but themselves. They're campaign made so many mis-steps it was always doomed to failure. Personally I think the big shift came when Western Australia made new Aboriginal Heritage laws which immediately backfired. The very first issue that arose from it was when a group of volunteers wanted to plant 1000 trees on some 'public' land. The aboriginal elder demanded $200,000 to let them do it. The backlash was swift and severe. The big takeaway from the vote though was that the people who live with the most Aborigines were the most against it whilst the inner city latte sipping Green/Left Elites were the only people who supported. But too many people are now aware of the WEF's long term plans and the way they will use indigenous peoples to push it. Everyone I spoke to thought it was a foot in the door for reparations and rent-seeking which the Aborigines disingenuously called "Truth telling". At the end of the day every aborigine is getting over $45,000 spent on them annually. That's way more than the white and no-abo communities who receive around $20,000 for social benefits. The other issue that was raised constantly was that people do not view anyone with less than 75% Abo heritage as being Aborigine. And their movement was hijacked by all these half caste activists looking to cement a seat at the political table and have a say over massive handouts. I saw people whiter than me (i'm virtually albino) claiming to be abos just for the virtue signaling. But credit to the everyday suburbanite who saw through this. This result and the NZ election shows that people are waking up to the international left and we will not go silently into that bug eating, no possessions WEF dystopia.

I had a look at the leftist news outlets and Twitter / X. At no point did anyone suggest looking at Aboriginal culture as a way of improving their population outcomes. It's just like here in the US where the Democrats and the left never blame black culture as a primary impediment to more positive black population outcomes.
Which is the elephant in the room no matter which direction you're coming from. If you look at the specific problems plaguing Aboriginal communities, most are things Aborigines are doing to other Aborigines - like rampant domestic violence. And if you look at Aboriginal culture itself, it should be no surprise that an illiterate hunter-gatherer society that was obsolete by the time the Romans conquered England does a poor job of prioritising education and employment.
They also had a post-natal abortion rate of >50% Before the British Arrived. So basically they would wait for the child to be born before killing it. And they didn't let it go to waste - they would eat the dead newborn. All well documented
If Abos had gone extinct before the British colonized Australia, they would be viewed as a separate species like Neanderthal
