To be fair, there are a lot of very racist people in Australia. Its reputation as a deeply racist country is known far and wide.

Also, Australia voted to not be a republic, and people think Clive Palmer is their friend and saviour, so... Yeah, plenty of idiots out there. I mean, the no campaign basically promoted and lived on ignorance. "If you don't know"? Come on. How dumb do you have to be?

Needs both majority of states and population, so if its defeated in the east, it's too late.

In the US a "mob" isn't necessarily violent. You have peaceful mobs, and even just generic "mobs of people everywhere". A mob is just a group of people.

In the US a mob is also a type of crime organisation.

In Australia it means the exact same thing. However, in addition to that, it can also mean something else, thanks to the actual meaning (a group of people) and context.

Who is "we" that has free speech, because that isn't exactly what Australia has.

The numbers were about 80+% of First Nations people are for it.

Tasmania taking point on this.

Clive Palmer dropped (at least) $2 mill on the No campaign. That says a lot about what it's worth.

It was never "a solution", it was "part of solution". The world isn't so simple.

Also, the Yes slogan eventually became "if you don't know - find out" and "just Google it".

You are correct on all counts.

An Aboriginal community.

There are tools to copy your subscriptions and blocks from one account to another, but you can't "transfer" an account.

No.

In star trek, 100 miles is a lot of transporter chiefs.

I seriously doubt you do.

I didn't say "WhatsApp" once, so... Sure. That's what xmpp is for, or whatever is currently in vogue.

In any case, it doesn't involve smses.

It's our galaxy, and it is, relatively speaking, fairly flat.

But it's basically the same argument the USA used.

Manifest Destiny.
