My Australian friends are heartbroken over this. they knew it was gonna fail, but actually watching it happen and by those margins just lowered their impression of the country even further.

The status of the Aboriginal community in Australia is fukking crazy bad, makes even Native Americans look like they're doing okay. Scrolling through the numbers in this article was so depressing:

White people love calling something divisive as if there doesnt already exist a clear division.

This is no surprise. Australia is like 30 years behind when it comes to race relations compared to most other countries.
