三 | 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.。黄循财前天在上任满100天之际召开新闻发布会，阐述该国政府接下来关注的问题，并解答媒体提问时，如是表示。
四 | 他说，新加坡有自己的“家规”，非来者不拒：“我们会控制新移民的人数。而在引进他们的同时，新加坡人也必须尽一份力，以宽大的胸襟，亲切大方地欢迎他们成为新加坡大家庭的一分子。”他坦言，新加坡人同新移民一起生活与交流的过程中，难免产生摩擦，对此他说：“随着新移民做出调整，接受我们的生活方式，让孩子接受本地教育，让儿子履行国民服役义务，他们也会像我们的先辈一样，成为新加坡人。”因此，他说，作为一个移民社会，新加坡必须继续保持这样的价值观，努力处理好社会融合事务。另一方面，黄循财也指出，协助新加坡人应对生活费上涨仍是重点任务，至于是否会发放更多邻里购物券，他解释要等明年的预算。《新明日报》在场询问为何目前确定会在明年发放的邻里购物券只有300元，少于今年的800元，黄循财如是回复。不过，他解释道，该国政府会关注宏观经济环境，包括今年底的通胀率，而眼下通胀率已有放缓迹象。
五 | “去年通胀居高不下，经济增长较弱，许多国人的实际收入有所减少，因此压力较大。”新加坡政府在2024财政年预算案中宣布，会在今年6月和明年1月，分两次为公民家庭发放另外总值600元的邻里购物券。而2023财年分发的购物券中，有500元是今年1月发出的，因此公民家庭今年总共收到800元的购物券。
