一 | CANBERRA, Australia -- Ultramarathon runner Pat Farmer ended a 14,400-kilometer (8,950-mile) run at the central Australian sandstone landmark Uluru on Wednesday after a seven-month journey to raise public support for the creation of an Indigenous advocacy body in the constitution.Australians will vote on Saturday at a referendum that would enshrine in the constitution a so-called Indigenous Voice to Parliament, a mechanism for Indigenous Australians to advise lawmakers on policies that effect their lives.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was at Uluru, which is an Indigenous sacred site also known as Ayers Rock, to welcome the 61-year-old runner’s arrival.Albanese said he had “utter admiration and awe” for Farmer’s commitment for the cause which opinion polls suggest is unlikely to succeed.“No one has done more than this bloke and I am very pleased to welcome him here at Uluru,” Albanese said.Farmer said his first glimpse of the enormous rock rising from the flat Australian wilderness at a distance of 40 kilometers (25 miles) brought a tear to his eye.“I’m glad. Very, very happy to be at this point in time, this point in the world’s time where we start to acknowledge Indigenous communities right around the world and the significance of that culture,” Farmer told reporters.The former lawmaker's run began in Hobart on the island state of Tasmania on April 17 and traversed every Australian state as well as both mainland territories.Uluru has special significance in the campaign to create the Voice as a means of acknowledging Indigenous Australians in the constitution.The Voice was recommended in 2017 by a group of 250 Indigenous leaders who met at Uluru. They were delegates of the First Nations National Constitutional Convention the then-government had asked for advice on how the Indigenous population could be acknowledged in the constitution.Indigenous senator Pat Dodson, the government’s envoy for promoting the Voice, joined the referendum campaign on Wednesday for the first since taking medical leave in April for treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.He said in a National Press Club speech he remained confident that a majority of Australians would vote for the Voice despite polls showing its popularity had slid in recent months.A “No” decision would be a backward step for Australia after the High Court ruled in 1992 that Indigenous Australians had land rights that predated British colonization and after the Australian Parliament apologized to the Indigenous population in 2008 for past injustices, Dodson said.“Do you want to go forward or do you want to go backwards or do you want to do nothing? Do you want to look yourself in the mirror and have pride the next day, or have some doubts and uncertainties and even an increase in shame? ” Dodson asked voters.While recent opinion polls suggest most Australians oppose the Voice, a poll published Wednesday found 59% of Indigenous respondents were in favor.That support had slipped from more than 80% supported suggested by polls published early this year.The latest poll published in The Sydney Morning Herald newspaper was based on an online survey of 420 Indigenous voters between Sept. 22 and Oct. 4. It has a 4.8 percentage point margin of error.Indigenous Australians account for 3.8% of Australia’s population. They have worse outcomes on average than other Australians in a range of measures including health, employment, education, incarceration and suicide rates. Statistically, Indigenous Australians die around eight years younger than the wider community.。 Kenny 编译 国家党政府将对道路安全实行更严格执法。像不系安全带的行为,罚款可能会翻三倍。 根据《政府陆路交通政策声明草案》,今年下半年起不系安全带将被处以最高450纽币的罚款,而不是现在的150纽币。新的数字被认为跟英国、澳大利亚和加拿大看齐且符合通胀现实。 Advertise with us 《草案》称系安全带可以让人们在发生严重车祸时生还几率增加一倍,但每年仍有80多名道路使用者因未系安全带而死于车祸。

二 | 《草案》将对酒后驾驶和其他违规驾驶采取强硬立场—— 譬如推出路边检查站,对司机的唾液进行拭子测试打击毒驾行为。

三 | 目前警方只是在怀疑嗑药后进行血检,唾液检测意味着更多司机将被临检。政府的目标是每年至少唾液测试5万名司机。

四 | 又譬如增设酒精测试站,打击酒驾行为。政府的目标是每年至少进行300万次随机路边呼吸检测。

五 | 酒精和毒品被认为是新西兰致死车祸的两大主要原因。 2022年,因司机酗酒或吸毒而导致车祸的死亡事故为163起,重伤事故为144起,轻伤事故为776起。 只有26%的司机认为自己可能会因毒驾而被抓,只有60%的司机认为自己可能会因酒驾而被抓。更重要的是,有27%的酒后肇事司机是惯犯。 总理Christopher Luxon在谈到《草案》时表示,心怀侥幸的人很多,“坦率地说这是不可接受的”。他说将斥资增加呼吸测试站点。 草案称新西兰的道路违章处罚大多拟定于1999年,之后再没有进行修改,因此远低于国际水平,在罚款力度上明显不如澳大利亚、英国和加拿大。 另外,如果被吊销驾照依然还开车上路,将面临更严厉的处罚和更多扣分。每年有6.7万名司机被吊销驾照,有约8700人因无照驾驶而被起诉。 相关阅读: 2023年新西兰进行了300多万次呼气测试,酒驾最严重的是…… 过去一年里26.7万新西兰人发生过撞车事故,车险可能还要涨 又一起致命车祸,劳动节假期交通死亡人数升至4人 雪上加霜!新西兰这项生活成本将上涨20%到30%!! 保险公司呼吁车主防患于未然:当心这些常犯的错误 上周末几起车祸造成多人死亡,警方严查不系安全带、酒驾等危险行为 长周末悲剧:一系列严重车祸致四人死亡,多人重伤 长周末前ACC公布最新数据:每个劳动节都有500多人因车祸受伤 注:本文为编译/原创,欢迎转发分享;但严禁复制等未经授权的非法使用。违反上述声明者,本网将追究其相关法律责任。
