Just want to say amazing app. It's so polished! I'll be using Lemmy much more. I came from boost on Android. I don't see the value in the ad free version yet but glad there are tiered options.

No worries. Thanks for taking the time to explain. Definitely need to read more before the referendum.

So if they can make submissions to parliament and the executive on matters, which don't have to acted upon, why do we need constitutional reform to allow it as part of our government. Aren't their numerous other organisations that do this already, provide advice to parliament on matters affecting First Nations people though their representatives?

I understand they won't hold a position within the upper or lower house but is it incorrect to say they won't hold a position in parliament?

I think more needs to be done when it comes to First Nations people and closing the gaps but just can't get past the fact of allowing a group based on race to hold a position in parliament without being voted in each term by Australian voters.

I think you might have sold me on trying out home roasting. Ive been enjoying trying out different brands since I got a machine a year ago. Cost looks roughly half of buying roasted!

What do you find the benefits are of roasting at home vs pre roasted?

Boost was my most used app for several years. Really excited for this and to see the Fediverse grow.
