I'd call that not so much a victory as a sad indictment of planning that it ever happened in the first place.
Half an hour average to just get out of your estate? What a miserable way to live.
Here's a random tip I heard about music inspiration: if you're in a rut do something completely differently from how you normally do it. Do something the opposite way from how you usually do it or start using a different approach from usual. Maybe give yourself an arbitrary restriction like "no thirds, use more sixths instead" or pick something you normally do and do the reverse. If you normally start writing songs with chord progressions try starting with a melody instead. Or start with a rhythm instead. Just do something different so you're forced to have a fresh take on composition. Hopefully that'll help you see things in a fresh light.

My summary:
a) It's pretty toothless and has very little effect in law, and
b) It's also symbolically important to recognise a highly disadvantaged group of people
I think that means we might as well vote yes because at least it's a symbolic nod to an inequity. And there's no reason to vote no because it doesn't really have any legal effect, let alone downsides.
Bonus conclusion: politicians claiming "it could be interpreted unpredictably by the courts and lead to legal uncertainty" are being disingenuous and we should treat those people with suspicion.
It's the last gasp of the TV industry. An industry which doesn't know how to adapt to changing times and keeps vomiting out the same crap year after year despite the fact that less and less people are watching. It won't be long before the TV networks are a footnote in history.
There are something like 50 different indigenous languages across Australia. That makes it pretty hard to standardise one.
I never thought to see the day that a former News Limited CEO was installed as head of the ABC by Labor. Surely they'll regret this at the next election when the ABC becomes like another Fox News.
