Wake me up in a year or something

So first we have the whole "Africans are violent and evil and we're not letting any in!"1 return to the White Australia policy (hello, Children Overboard2, nice to see you raise your ugly face again), and then I realise that indigenous Australians aren't recognised in the constitution and we're going to have to have a friggin' referendum to get them there. Because it involves altering the constitution.

Which means there will probably be a "no" vote party and I'll have to put up with all that racism and they'll try and stick something else on the thing which will make people who wouldn't even think about voting "yes" to vote "no" and damn damn damn damn damn.

I'm moving to New Zealand. Or Canada. Or freaking anywhere but here.
