    Your argument is driven by racism. The same old tired racist arguments that have been floating around since time immemorial.

    “People are just claiming they are Aboriginal to get government handouts”

    “They’re not really asylum seekers they are economic migrants looking for government handouts”

    “They are going to create a new level of government so they can claim government handouts”

    They are not getting inequitable representation. They are effectively being given a constitutionally recognised lobby group. The Government of the day will be able to completely ignore them like they ignore climate scientists and environmentalists.

    Ok yes. “But then why does it need to be in the constitution” because the Coalition disbanded every non constitutionally recognised group that has ever been created.
