      I'm pretty sure a non-Aboriginal player would have received the same sanction. But I can't prove that and admit that for all I know the NRL could be a fundamentally biased organization that treats Aboriginal players differently from others. The problem is that several of the guests just asserted that this is true without offering any evidence to support it. That's not normally how public discussions work. We have a general norm that you don't accuse others of wrongdoing without first offering evidence to back up your accusation. Unfortunately, woke activists have successfully pushed a new norm in recent years that says if you belong to an oppressed group you are free to accuse anyone of bias against your group even if you cannot produce any evidence to back your claim up. Some of the guests have clearly internalised this norm.

      @@Guaguanco11 Some fair points. It's worth adding that the punishment of Caitlin Moran for expressing an opinion seems like an overreaction from the NRL, whom I wouldn't be lumping in with woke activists. I'd say we'll all need to get used to having our feelings hurt if we're to have a mature discussion, and hopefully move towards a future where we may be diverse in many ways, but we can agree on what is true and supported by evidence.

      @@Guaguanco11 think, if you have been treated in a racist way for hundreds of years, then someone says or does someone that many of racists have done to you before, but says this time they were just saying it because of what you did not coz they were being racist, how would you know the difference??? So if people cry racism when they're isn't infact racism (which I don't think that is the case here, but let's just say it is for the sake of this argument) then your a getting mad by the wrong person, you should be mad at the people who have been racist in the past, that would make her assume it was racist, rather than her for saying it was racism, it's not the matter proof it's a matter of history

    This whole conversation was very off point. This has to be the most one sided bias panel here, it’s disappointing that the vast majority of this conversation was about racial issues rather than an intelligent conversation about the future governance of the country based on the current reality as opposed to 200 years ago. These discussions about race colonisation are important to have but to suggest that the majority of the population will be putting the safety and security solely into the hands of modern largely white Australian politicians alone without an international support network…I doubt it. Their recent performances haven’t been great. A realistic and balanced conversation needs to be had here. Disappointing ABC.

    By this logic Israel Folau should not have had any repercussions for his social media posts. But no, a disrespectful comment on the monarchy is okay but a questionable post about homosexuality (an emerging political topic) is not okay. This point by Eric Abetz was very valid.
    You cannot have both ways, because then you are merely being hypocritical. Free speech must go both ways. If you attempt to regulate what is acceptable speech then you begin to erode liberal democracies. This response by most of the panel is hypocritical.

    I voted for a Republic in 1999, but I wouldn't again. While an Aussie could do a good job, I like having a similar system to the UK, Canada and NZ, It is a good club, and I think we fit well in this club. We are all small population countries. Not even medium sized. Small. So it is good to have these links. Also, alot of immigrants from non-British backgrounds came to Australia specifically BECAUSE of the success of the modern foundations built by the British. Places like Hong Kong would KILL to have the union jack on the flag and still be in the Commonwealth. (Not that we can't change the flag.) The desires of HK'ers for a British system, shows indigenousness and ethnicity doesn't have to have anything to do with this. It is about a system that is SUCCESSFUL all over the world and keeps democracy safe. I would encourage all first nations people of Australia (and those who deign to speak for them as if they are a monolith without minds of their own) to remember while some of what the Brits did in Oz was bad, no question, ALOT of it was/and is bloody good. Why throw the baby out with the bathwater? The institutions are on the whole VERY good. I can't imagine how the woman in this conversation proposing they be 'reimagined' would change them? Sure some changes can be made.....but what exactly is she proposing? Keep talking about 'reimagining' things without defining what you mean by that and you will definitely sink any republican movement. And remember this has all been done just over 23 years ago. Certainly Boomers and Gen X'er have heard all the arguments.

      "some of what the Brits did in Oz was bad, no question, ALOT of it was/and is bloody good. Why throw the baby out with the bathwater?"
      The "some" you are referring to is a (on purpose) genocide and the (probably accidental) introduction of smallpox, and it's taken 200 odd years for Aboriginals to get back to their previous population.
      It's understandable that many Indigenous people don't like the monarchy. Just like how most Irish don't like the monarchy!
      Of course the British and later Australian Governments also eventually brought modern healthcare etc ... for those Aboriginals who were left.
      "Why throw the baby out with the bath water"
      We would still keep a Parliament, and a symbolic Head of State. But it would, ideally, be one chosen by Australians.
      Not some foreigner from a very dysfunctional family, whose only qualification is "my mum did this job"
      It's also an opportunity to fix some weak parts of our constitution. Like the Head of State probably should not have the power to veto laws and veto referendums (did you know the Governor General can do this currently?), and they probably shouldn't be able to fire a PM who has majority support in the House of Reps and replace them with whoever they want. And they probably shouldn't have the power to appoint secret ministers that the public doesn't know about!

      Very true, having lived in HK, the british nostalgia really surprised me. They dream of going back to the British rule and the amount of british flags during the 2019 protests was a shock for me.
      But just in general I feel these conversations about colonisation and the british empire need to include sentiments like yours.
      The reality is this huge land down under was going to eventually have europeans (or other colonisers) arrive. You can argue empire and colonisation is evolutionarily inevitable.
      If that is the case, we're lucky the Dutch and French (both who did know about this land) didn't colonise us.
      Otherwise we may have ended up fighting a war for our freedom (see Indonesian War of Independence vs the Dutch) or paying for it economically, like Haiti have been to the french (see Haiti Indemnity Controversy)

      It's the principle that matters. I don't belive that any man/women should bow down to another human solely because of the genetics of that human. I strongly think that Australia should go forward and make a clear break (not so dramatic like what Americans did), with history and become a republic. Australia can have any presidential system which the majority agrees (if) upon eg like American presidential system, or French or Indian. Albeit the closet one to the Westminster model is the indian one, where there is a parliament and prime minister and cabinets, but the President is elected indirectly by the representatives of the individual states. And the president will have the same function like a monarch, which is of a glorified rubber stamp and ribbon cutter.
