It reminds me of the failed ETS and the lost years that came from that.

If the Yes vote fails we definitely won't see anything like it for a generation. The only reason we had some recovery from the ETS is because there is pressure from the rest of the world, there's no pressure for indigenous recognition.

It wasn't the best way to do it and I do feel sorry for athletes that won't get a shot at competing but honestly I couldn't give less of a shit about the Commonwealth Games and whether it was a billion or three billion it would be better spent elsewhere.

The pamphlets are for the people who decide in the voting booth, it's worthwhile to look for more detail on the questions you have.

I'm voting Yes for two main reasons.

  1. When I look at NZ and the recognition of the Maori I feel embarassed that we have the oldest continuous civilization on the planet and we don't give a shit about it at all.

  2. We haven't moved the dial on any of the major markers impacting indigenous people in the last twenty years. Perhaps it's time we actually started listening and giving them a voice isn't a bad start.

Also there's nobody on the No side I have any respect for. Jacinta Price and Warren Mundine are Opportunists, Lidia Thorpe is just the other side of the same coin. That tells me enough about the right side to be on.

That's because Parliament will decide.

The change of the Constitution says it must be created and that it's not at the whim of a future government to abolish it.

The meat and potatoes of how many, who, when etc will go through as an act of Parliament so your local MP gets a say

If you're Aldi shopping try these bad boys out.

The air on the trolley handle while you shop, once everything is on the belt roll 'em out in the trolley and then lob everything in faster than the person can scan them.

I did that with my PSP-Go, a mate pulled one out of his pocket and showed me it with custom firmware and that was it I went out and got one.

The formfactor of the Go was basically perfect for a portable, I only moved up into a Vita when development had hit it's limitations but I still have a PSP Emulator on it.

I'd argue that it was the generation of Opel content before this that set the wheels in motion. If you owned a 2000 Astra or Vectra they were well known for being dogshit, and the following generation were no better. That alienated anyone willing to spend a bit of money and you were left with the cheap and cheerful crowd and competition with decent Korean products.
