“Stupidity”, “base racism”, are just some of the words prominent Aboriginal leader and Yes campaigner Marcia Langton has used to describe the No campaign and its supporters. She appeared on stage at a forum in Bunbury, Western Australia with Labor state MP Don Punch when she decided to attack everyday Australians. A video of the event was posted on Mr Punch’s Facebook page, but perhaps unsurprisingly, the video seems to have gone missing. But this is the internet, and nothing goes missing. So now I will play you those fateful words spoken by Ms. Langton. “Every time the No case raises one of their arguments, if you start pulling it apart, you get down to base racism. I’m sorry to say it, but that’s where it lands. Or, just sheer stupidity.” Despite saying it and despite being caught on camera saying it, she denies calling No voters racist. She has since stated, “I’m saying the claims being made by the no case are based in racism and stupidity – and appeal to racism and stupidity. And they are appealing to Australians to frighten them into adopting highly racist and stupid beliefs. I did not say what the Australian and the Bunbury Herald are reporting. The media reporting is a very deliberate tactic to make me look like a racist when I’m not. I am not a racist, and I don’t believe that the majority of Australians are racist. I do believe that the no campaigners are using racist tactics.” During Question Time in parliament on Monday, shortly after the Bunbury Herald article’s publication, deputy Liberal leader Sussan Ley commented, “We saw Marcia Langton label those advocating a No position as either ‘racist’ or ‘stupid’. Now this is a window into the psyche of the Yes campaign and it’s a window into the psyche of a modern Labor Party. They refuse to accept that everyday Australians do not like what they see when it comes to the Voice. This is the Yes campaign’s ‘deplorables’ moment and it’s really disappointing because we want a fair and honest debate.” If you’re unaware, “deplorables” is in reference to a comment Hillary Clinton made regarding Donald Trump supporters when speaking at a fundraiser in New York City on 9 September 2016. She said, “You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.” If you remember, Donald Trump went on to win that election. The “deplorables” came out in force. The deputy Liberal leader went on to ask, “Will the Minister for Indigenous Australians condemn Professor Langton's comments?” Ms. Linda Burney responded with a general comment calling for respect in the referendum campaign and didn’t really answer the original question, but what’s new? Leader of the Opposition Peter Dutton called on the Prime Minister to cancel the referendum, because no matter the result, it’s only dividing Australians. I agree in part with Mr Dutton. The referendum is dividing Australians, but I think we have to go through with it. According to the AEC, the writ has been issued, so it’s going to happen no matter what. Polls are showing that the Yes vote has slid considerably, and there’s almost no chance of it winning. It would be some sort of miracle if it did win. The No vote is ahead in every state except Tasmania, which is funny, because it’s the only state in Australia that isn’t ruled by the Labor Party. One would expect the opposite. This just goes to show us that even Labor voters aren’t fully onboard with the Yes campaign. As I said, we need this referendum to go ahead, because when it loses, it’ll show the current government and the activists that Australians do not want this. If it loses significantly, it will tell future governments that this is not on. Australians are not willing to accept a change to our constitution that will divide us up along ethnic or racial lines. The constitution should be colourblind. The Yes voters may have good intentions, but by the looks of it, the Yes campaign is done.

Daily Rant Australia has moved to LBRY ( https://lbry.tv/@DailyRantAustralia ). YouTube is steadily, but surely, marching its way towards full-blown dictatorship. Okay, maybe that’s a bit hyperbolic, but one thing that we can all agree on is that YouTube is getting big — really big! History has taught us that when an empire becomes too big, it becomes much harder to control. Arbitrary rules are created to try to control the citizenry. Eventually, empires fall. It happened with Rome and it will probably happen with YouTube. Something called Imperial Overstretch or Imperial Overreach takes hold. Essentially, when an empire becomes too big, it becomes too hard to manage and maintain. Too many harsh rules are created to try to keep the populace in check, but ultimately, the Empire comes crashing down. As an insurance policy to YouTube’s eventual demise (or more likely, me being kicked off YouTube), I have signed up to a content sharing platform called LBRY that is decentralised and owned by its users. From an end-user point of view, you can watch my videos just like on YouTube, but without the ads. (Click the invitation link below to get a sign-up bonus). LBRY is my exit strategy. All my videos are now available on LBRY. LBRY aims to be an alternative to YouTube and other sites, allowing publishers and their fans to interact directly without the risk of demonetisation or other meddling. What makes this all possible is the blockchain technology developed by the creator of Bitcoin. LBRY is community driven and open source. Almost every tech giant today is a centralised service that sells users' personal information and attention to advertisers. The creators of LBRY think users should own their content (and their privacy) instead of handing it over to a corporate giant and their advertising buddies.

The Victorian Government’s First Peoples State Relations website asks the question, “What is Treaty in Victoria?” I want to know how the Government (and their lawyers) define treaty, so that we’re all on the same page. They state, “Treaty is the embodiment of Aboriginal self-determination. Treaty provides a path to negotiate the transfer of power and resources for First Peoples to control matters which impact their lives.” I think that’s the true intention and expected outcome, right? The transfer of power and resources. That’s what this is all about. In my reckoning, as long as the current government are in power, this treaty is going ahead. Premier Jacinta Allan is giving a big up yours to the Victorian people. The Honourable Natalie Hutchins, Minister for Treaty and First Peoples (she’s also the Minister for Women… I wonder who the Minister for Men is? Oh that’s right, there isn’t one). When the good Minister appeared before the Public Accounts and Estimates Committee hearing about the state’s treaty process, she was asked about reparations and dedicated Indigenous seats in parliament, which she replied, “After 200 years of colonisation, where this state took away lands in the settlement, murdered people, and took away culture and language, we are not going to be ruling anything in or out as we go to the negotiation table in regards to treaty.” Former Treaty Advancement Commissioner Aunty Jill Gallagher, weighed in on treaty negotiations between the state government and Indigenous Victorians. She said, “I think reparations should be on the table. And it might not be in the way of money form; it might be in the way of empowerment, it might be in the way of land, but definitely not private land. No one is going to lose their private land through this Treaty process… I don’t know what Natalie Hutchins or the Government is thinking, but I know land has to be part of the reparations. It would be amazing if our elected body, the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria, if land came on the market, that we have the opportunity to buy it also. Being empowered to influence decisions around what happens in our communities is vital in the treaty process. I don't know what that’s going to look like; whether that’s seats in parliament, I have no idea.” Obviously, the problem with having seats in parliament that only people of a certain ethnicity can attain, they won’t just be ruling for Indigenous Victorians, they’ll have a say over issues that affect all Victorians. So I can’t see how any rational person could agree with this. It should be noted that last month, in April, Ms Gallagher gave a speech to fellow Indigenous activists laying out a list of 10 demands she said must be part of a statewide treaty. Such demands included: Aboriginal People must be exempt from Land Tax, stamp duty, and council rates (Obviously, this lost revenue would have to be made up through equivalently higher taxes on non-Indigenous Victorians); Interest free loans must be provided to Aboriginal People to purchase homes; Aboriginal People must be exempt from HECS / HELP fees; Tertiary education must be provided to Aboriginal students without charge; Aboriginal history must be taught in all Victorian and Australian schools; and just one more: Aboriginal people must be provided designated seats on local buses, sorry, I mean councils. I was thinking, that was a bit of a strange demand. They even made a graphical representation of her speech. A few things to note: Aboriginal culture is a gift to white Australia; We need unity to fight and succeed – Well I think a treaty would not result in unity, especially if non-Indigenous people have to pay more in taxes and so on. Actually, I think it would result in the opposite of unity – Division; But the biggest one, the one I mentioned earlier: Transfer of power. Let’s face it, that’s what this is all about. Taking away power from one group of people, and giving it to another. And just one more thing that I found interesting before I end this video: The Honourable Leeanne Enoch, Minister for Treaty in my home state of Queensland has been doing a bit of jet-setting on the public dime. The Brisbane Times are reporting that documents obtained under right to information laws reveal Ms Enoch travelled around North America with three senior staffers, which cost us taxpayers $126,000 – just a drop in the ocean! While some Queenslanders were living in tents under bridges, she was off visiting around a dozen galleries or museums, and staying in modern-day Canadian castles. Treaty, anyone? Anyone?
