And what does it matter to you?Originally posted by Gazelle:Is it correct to say that Australia cabinet ministers are all white?
At least if they want to pass a bill - they have to actually consult their side and the opposition. And if their policies are crap - they get into trouble during question time. They also will get voted out if they are crappy as hell.
Steve Bracks , former premier of Victoria , has lebanese ethnicity.
So there you go. -

I'll agree with most of what the article said about the Twin Cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul), but would dock it for its failure to mention the severe winters that are the norm for the region.Originally posted by will4:The top ten affordable cities to live in US.

The government and the Aborigines both share the blame for their lack of advancement. One reason why Native Americans don't make it to the Senate too, AFAIK.

Bearing in mind , the natives in Singapore are actually Malays and the majority in cabinet are chinese. There is actually aboriginal minister in Northern territory, Jack Ah Kit, and there are aboriginal politicians, like Neville Bonner and Aden Ridgeway. The ex Governor of South Australia, Sir Douglas Ralph Nicholls is aboriginal.Originally posted by Gazelle:Yes and they are have natives in the cabinet except for australia
So try a lil harder. -

Indigenous Australians only gained their full political right in 1967 when they were counted in population for the purpose of distribution of electoral seats. Neville Bonner (1971-1983) and Aden Ridgeway (1999-2005) are the only two indigenous Australians elected to the Australian Parliament, in history so far. There are currently no indegenous Australian in the Australian Parliament.Originally posted by fymk:Bearing in mind , the natives in Singapore are actually Malays and the majority in cabinet are chinese.

It was only as recent as 11 October 2007 when John Howard said that “We must recognise the distinctiveness of Indigenous identity and culture and the right of Indigenous people to preserve that heritage. The crisis of Indigenous social and cultural disintegration requires a stronger affirmation of Indigenous identity and culture as a source of dignity, self-esteem and pride." You think you know about the issue better?
Douglas Nicholls was South AustralianÂ’s government from 1/12/1976 to 30/4/1977, 5 months!! not much to say about the political right of the aboriginals, but it says a lot about their plight, doesnÂ’t it?
Are Malays the Indigenous Singaporean? Do you know that even the Malays originally came from southern china? The true indigenous peoples in Malaya are of Malayo-Polynesian origins, e.g. the Dayak, MelanauÂ…). In 1819, there were actually Malays, Chinese and some of these indigenous peoples in Singapore. The Malays in Malaysia are declared bumi by constitution, not by history.
Singapore is an immigrant society, similar to Australia. But here, although the majority are Chinese, equal rights are given to all races and religions, there are 4 official languages, and our national anthem written in Malay, a minority language, our first president was a Malay, and there have been numerous ministers and MP representing the rights of the minorities. How to compare this aspect of Singapore with Australia, of all countries? Bear in mind they have just officially abolished the White Australian Policy in 1975!
You donÂ’t know about the country you left, you also donÂ’t know about the country you call home now. Guess you have to admit that there are things youÂ’ll never know. Good try.
Stick to what you know best. -
