>>1724626Not voting, but if I was it would be no. Electorates with large indigenous population do not want this. The changes to the constitution are vague, first nations representative will be chosen by the government not the people, proposal contradicts itself (on the topic of prosecution no less), there's already a largly underfunded aboriginal governing body that has been intentionally corrupted and ignored for years. This will be yet another way to further marginalise the aboriginal people while the rest of Australia applauds decisions made by puppets installed by bureaucrats in Canberra. Too much large corporate/government funding has gone into campaigning for the yes vote, from my perspective that's never a good sign.

Read up in it further this is very concerning. Not just on the premise of race-based politics but the opportunity it creates to unfairly influence the governance of this country using "aboriginal" representatives.

Have a very specific question for SA nonnas: for rental properties, are the only leases available twelve months in duration? Are any six month leases offered? I'm having in SA tell me that they can only get their lease renewed for twelve months and I need to find out whether this is commonplace/legally enforced or if this is a farce. I'm in another state and from my experience here you can usually argue for a shorter lease period like six months depending on how shit your real estate is.
Unrelated image to post but is Australian. It's is some freaky animatronic from the Big Banana in NSW called the Bunyip that would rise out of the water. The more you know.

speaking of troons, saw one at my local hometown mall, not even the tourist area. obviously late teens/early 20s, whole femboy meme with programmer socks walking through the foodcourt that we used to hang out in after school (cause emos, innit). was incredibly harrowing and made the whole place feel besmirched and beshitted.
also I went to a show in Bris about maybe 5-6 months ago and the unisex bathrooms + pure amount of unwashed troons in reeboks made me want to scrap the tickets and bounce.

>>1737041Carriageworks in Sydney is the worst for unisex toilets. There are two, one with a sign that says “all gender restroom cubicles only” and the other with “all gender restroom with open urinals”. Would absolutely hate to accidentally walk into the “wrong” all gender restroom! Most retarded shit I’ve ever seen.

>>1725943i live in Melbourne too, I honestly loathe going to the city now because of the tranny infestation.
you can just tell half of the ugly 40 something year old men in dresses trooned out during covid after abandoning their families and then the younger ugly smelly AGP fucks who work in IT did the same.
I love staring at them in public and watching them get nervous and uncomfortable after i laugh at them.
I can't even travel through brunswick, fitzroy, collingwood or the CBD without being visually accosted by hideous greasy men with coloured hair, disgusting makeup and shitty dresses.
I just want to enjoy lunch with my friends and my boyfriend without having to be an unwilling participant in some stranger's AGP fetish.

Melbourne is genuinely going to shit, i dread for what it's gonna be like in 5 to 10 years just based on the tranny problem alone.

>>1758979if it's $24/hr I'd assume safely it's casual. plus you have to fill out shit if you're part time or full. did they send you a contract or paperwork? and can I ask what sort of position it is?
was bitching about this today actually, john howard was the one who got us all working casual instead of part or full time. no work security and the cycle continues.
good luck with the interview nona, not trying to be a neg egg just make sure you know what you're getting into. some of the jobs these days are perilously close to modern slavery (unironically and is in their training docs, not a tinfoil)
No. 1759003
>>1759002On the phone when I asked she said that its $24/hour with sick and annual leave.. which dounds like contract.
Its a christmas job but it says full time? so I assume only for a few months. Honestly its the only place thats asked for an interview back but its the place I wanted the least out of everything I applied for.
No paperwork yet, I guess if the "talk" as she calls it goes well then all that will happen after
No. 1759027
>>1759021I kinda hope its casual. They didnt have how often I am to work on the application like the others, which is why i was less interested. Its about a half hour walk and also has public transport directly to it depending on the time of day, 9am-6pm is generally their opening hours.
I hope its good, I'm a bit worried ill accept this temp job and then hear back from another job thats to continue after christmas though

No. 1797088
>>1761849we're as cooked as you are here. I lived in BC for a bit about 5 years ago and missed home, now it's as bad if not worse. my genuine advice if you do is go inland. it'll be hotter, you'll need a car, and you'll be bored and lonely with no variety in your day-to-day but you can afford to live or even buy a home. don't want to put you off but look into how fucked we are before putting your eggs in our basket. wouldn't wish this basket upon someone who could live and do better.
also there's the whole tall poppy syndrome (you guys call it crabs in a bucket) which makes a lot of aussies LEAVE here because they feel like there's no upward momentum and if there is they aren't a "true blue aussie battler" anymore.
would love to have you obviously but commonwealth countries like ours are easy to move between but the problems follow.
the problems I saw half a decade ago in canada have reached here and blossomed. sydney and melbourne are comparable to vancouver and NYC at points.
I love this country but I also HATE it for so many reasons. it wont be easy living here. it used to be, now it isn't.

This might be a long shot but I figured I’d try. Nonas, I need your help finding a comedian I saw last night (14 December) at ACM. She was Hannah Gadsby’s supporting act. I’m an ESLfag and didn’t understand her name. She’s a lesbian from somewhere in Queensland. She had a joke about her girlfriend’s ex going to the moon financed by a Japanese millionaire. Google insists it’s Zoë Coombs Marr but it wasn’t Zoë.

>>1991185It's not really that bad, I would rather live here than in the US or Canada despite its flaws. I do wish that forgeiners would stay out and stop living here for the time being, not because of the stupid xenophobic "muh Chinese immagrants making X and Y expensive" type thinking (it's actually Woolworths and Coles and shitty developers and corrupt state parliment members jacking up prices) but because there's not many opportunities to go around even for the locals so they'll end up fucking themselves over and depend on limited resources that struggling locals already have a hard time getting access to.
It has the same issues that every heavily colonised Commonwealth or ex-Commonwealth country has, just has environmental differences and a different culture sociologically and politically.
