@goatsarah Also, didn't Portugal have an actual revolution to get rid of the fascists?

I spent the afternoon reading a book, an actual paper book. I must set aside more afternoons for this. One can't flick between sites or otherwise multitask while reading an actual paper book. Old-fashioned relaxation.

A few notes for overseas observers of Australia's fucked-up referendum:
1. The purpose was to establish a First Nations advisory body to the Federal Parliament. This had nothing to do with citizenship, or equal rights, or any of the other crap half-informed people seem to think was involved.
2. We needed a referendum to include the proposed body in the federal Constitution. The Constitution can only be amended via a referendum.
3. We needed to include the body in the Constitution because that would have protected it from being abolished by the next right-wing government without another referendum. Previous efforts to elevate First Nations control of First Nations issues have routinely been abolished by right-wing governments.
4. The sheer volume of disinformation has been as depressing as fuck.
5. Yes, there's racism throughout all of this. Also extreme ignorance, some of it wilful.

Just had Godsellers at the door. No. If I ever feel inclined to find God I'll check behind the couch first.
