'In Norway, the Indigenous Sámi people were recognised in the constitution in 1988 & their voice, the Sámi parliament, was established in 1989. There are 39 representatives elected to the Sámi parliament every 4 years. It has no veto power, but the govt is required to consult with the body on matters which directly affect the Sámi people. They don’t always agree, but they often find common ground' Gee, that sounds familiar 🙄 Indigenous people in Norway have been recognised in the Constitution since 1988 - & the sky didn't fall in. It is easy to see how it works when you examine this example. It's also easy to see from this that the narrative behind the No campaign to sow fear and division has always been for political gain and nothing more. #VoteYesAustralia #VoteYes theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
