Huh, TIL that humans showed up in Australia 60,000 years ago. I thought for sure it would be less than 20,000 years until I looked it up.
As for the slippery slope, nah, it’s a natural thing to ask. That being said, I think you have a good answer to it.
I’ll add that most ethnic groups don’t/shouldn’t need a Voice (ombudsman?) type function in a functioning democracy. However, we frequently see that the rules as written don’t actually apply equally. We see this a lot in the U.S. (where I’m from). It sounds like you have a similar effect in Australia.
