Sweet and Spicy: what's the buzz on honey infusions? | SaltWireSYDNEY -Australian Indigenous leaders called on Sunday for a week of silence and reflection after a referendum to recognise the First Peoples in the constitution was decisively rejected by a majority of the population.
Unlike other nations with similar histories such as Canada and New Zealand, Australia has not yet formally recognised or reached a treaty with its First Peoples. The leaders said they would lower the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island flag to half-mast for the week and urged others to do the same. Jade Ritchie, a"Yes" campaigner said after the results on Saturday night that the whole nation should be grieving the lost opportunity."These gaps, this disadvantage, this disenfranchisement of a whole portion of our community .... we talk about this stuff all the time and government after government try to address these issues and here we are with a very moderate and fair proposal and a practical way forward, and it’s not been accepted.
