Title: The Voice Kool-Aid Post by Boris on Dec 9th, 2022 at 7:59am
The Voice is a crazy idea - dividing citizens according to their Race is morally wrong and the sort of crap Hitler pulled.
Australians are claiming Aboriginality which is crazy and we do not know if it is authentic other than a DNA test. So according to the Voice some Australians are more equal than others and get special rights and privileges than non Aboriginal - which is already the case now - but it will be enshrined in the Constitution and mean we get ATSIC on steroids. Only the crazy will vote yes for this lunacy. I will never drink the Kool-Aid |

dividing citizens according to their Race is morally wrong and the sort of crap Hitler pulled. Stone Age Savages the late Dr C.G. von Brandenstein, who learnt at least four Pilbara languages, told me once that in hard times, dead infants would routinely go ‘into the pot’. Carl-Georg Christoph Freiherr von Brandenstein (10 October 1909 – 8 January 2005) was a German linguist who took up the study of Australian Aboriginal languages.

You've yet to highlight how it does what you're claiming. It's as if you went into this with your mind made up and are looking for an excuse to justify it, and this is the best you could come up with!? The thing is, you're so concerned about "dividing citizens" etc, but you have made it clear with your posts that you don't even consider them to be equal and instead sub humans. You've doing it in the very post I quoted... People preaching as you do is the exact reason they need the voice, the recognition, and a pathway to reconciliation. If you, and those like you, weren't such racists sacks of poo, calling for them to be killed in the streets etc, it would negate a lot, but not all, of the need for the voice in the first place. Your excuse to justify your racism is negated by your own actions and rhetoric. You don't care about them, you're not concerned about them, you just don't feel them worthy of anything, let alone assistance or equality, and would prefer them gone. You want us to believe you're worried about dividing the citizens when you don't even consider them as equals to begin with? Surely you're having a lend? You can't honestly expect us to fall for this bullshit? |

Where does this madness of talking about killing Cheers on the streets come from? Where do these people come from and where do they live? The ultimate houso ghetto?
As usual they're far more likely to kill one another than anyone else kill them .... (tyre shredder out) mothra in her ghetto was forced to 'make peace' with her local Indigenous... don't know WTF she did to them .... or was it just fear that drove her to a meek surrender to the ravening mob outside her door? Most of us are just friendly with everyone and don't need that kind of kow-towing to have peace. |
Title: Re: The Voice Kool-Aid Post by Boris on Dec 10th, 2022 at 11:21am
Not everyone supports the idea of symbolic recognition. And, in any case, the agenda of the activists is not Constitutional recognition, but power. They state as much quite openly. They never talk about ‘truth telling’ and ‘treaty’, the second and third tranches of the Uluru Statement.
What ‘truths’ do we still need to know other than that Aborigines were dispossessed of their sole occupancy of this continent, that they suffered trauma and mistreatment as a result and that there are still vestiges of disadvantage? These truths are already very well known and constantly aired. Do they accept the truth of claims that as many as 50,000 Aboriginal children were ‘stolen’ from loving families in order to eradicate the Aboriginal race? Do they accept the ‘truth’ that 100,000 Aboriginal warriors were killed in ‘colonial wars’? The ‘truth’ the activists want you to know is that they ‘never ceded sovereignty’ and that Australia was founded illegitimately. Once we accept that, we then move on to ‘treaty’. The Voice is the first step in this process, but they never acknowledges this inconvenient truth. You’re on a hiding to nothing on this one. Think again and give it miss. |

Sadly, plenty of people on here have called for the army to head in and shoot all the Indigenous Australians. Quote:
I'd rather be a woke wanker than support further genocide of our indigenous people. See, you and those like you, claiming all this child rape, cannibalism and rampant abuse etc, let's entertain the notion for a moment that all of that is true, I support the idea of the Voice to help bring awareness to the issues they face in their communities that lead to these outcomes in the hopes of providing assistance to get them out of it, to stop these things happening. Y'all seem to be so outraged by all these things happening and use that outrage as justification against the voice, but what do you offer in its place to help those victims, the women and children, and help the communities rise above these issues? And if another of you claim sending the army in to shoot them all again is the answer... Just cut that poo out... |

Child abuse and mistreatment in Aboriginal communities are endemic and worsening by the year. Here’s a few snapshots: Rates of hospitalisation for neglect and abandonment among indigenous children have been put at thirty to eighty times higher than for the non-indigenous population. More than 12,000 Aboriginal children have been removed and are in care, making up a third of all Australian children in care. One in nineteen Aboriginal children is in care, ten times the non-indigenous rate. In Queensland, one in every 2.2 Aboriginal children is known to Child Safety, and this is expected to increase to every second child being known to Child Safety this fiscal year. In 2007–08, only one in 4.6 Aboriginal children was known to Child Safety. Yet under-reporting of the sexual abuse of Aboriginal children may be nearly 90 per cent. |

Well - they kill more of their own than anyone else ever did....... and there was never a genocide here - there was a series of retaliatory raids and suppression raids on people who staged a terror war by killing women and children. Those who co-existed peacefully still have descendants who can claim Goat Island etc.... no unbroken possession - no claim - got it?
They have a voice in parliament and the same rights to stand for office in any government area and at any level. Move on from this absurd idea. |

Title: Re: The Voice Kool-Aid Post by Boris on Dec 11th, 2022 at 9:43am
The draft question is: “Do you support an alteration to the Constitution that establishes an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice?” This question is deeply flawed.
The referendum question is missing one key word: democratic. The Indigenous Voice referendum is highly contentious, and rightly so. But even those conservatives and constitutionalists who reject the very idea of the Voice should support the proper wording of the Voice question. The proper question to put to the Australian electorate is: “Do you support an alteration to the Constitution that establishes a democratic Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice?” The fundamental problem with the Voice may be that it creates two classes of citizen, but if that’s what Australians want (and the referendum will test this) then that’s what Australians will get. But a more important practical problem with the Voice referendum question is that the voice it envisages will not be democratically-constituted. And when it really comes down to it, does any Australian, indigenous or otherwise, want to hear an anti-democratic Indigenous Voice? |

I'm an Aussie
My Great Great Grandfather came to South Australia in 1860 as a Cornish Mine Captain for the Moonta Copper Mine and his daughter - my Great Grandmother was born there in Moonta and her son my Grandfather fought in 2 World Wars and was torpedoed at Gallipoli. My father was in No 10 Squadron RAAF and was shot down 3 times. My Uncle was a Sergeant Major in the Coldstream Guards at Monte Cassino where he killed Germans with his fists, boots, bayonet and entrenching tool going up hill all the way. My half brother was killed with his mother by the Nazis in WWII. So every ANZAC Day is held to commemorate my Grandfather, Uncle and Father and my Brother. So Australia is my country and I do not need some half arsed savage singing Nagga Nagga to welcome me to my own Country where we try to civilise Child raping Cannibals. |

If the Aboriginal Voice to Parliament gets passed in the Referendum as seems likely because Democracy has gone out the window and the Soviet Socialist Tyranny is breaking all the rules to get this bit of excrement imposed on the Constitution, this will be the end of Australia.
It will not just be a matter of - have another referendum to change it back if it doesn't work - this is permanent and step one. Step 2 is "Truth Telling" which means telling lies. Step 3 is Makarrata - or "Revenge" or "Payback". Once this is done - it can never be undone and Australia will be like Rhodesia - destroyed by Corruption and tribalism.

Lefty logic: The Uluru Statement from the Heart, signed by only 0.03% of the Indigenous population, demanding constitutionally enshrined identity politics – that’s unifying and representative of the entire Indigenous population. A democratically elected Senator and Aboriginal woman, representing a Territory with a population that’s almost 30% Indigenous, who has a long-held and well documented belief that ALL Australians are equal – that’s divisive and ignorant. Makes sense… Of course it’s rubbish, and they know it too. And it didn’t take much for the charade to drop and their true colours to show. Somehow the Voice has made it acceptable for privileged blokes to attack Aboriginal women over their stance on Indigenous issues – and the lefties are all on board. I mean, we all knew this would happen. You can’t oppose a constitutional gravy train for those after taxpayer funded salaries, and not expect a few fireworks – but wow, that was quicker than I was expecting! We don’t even have details on Albo’s Voice to Parliament and already its backers have sunk to name calling, intimidation tactics and racially motivated abuse to help bully their way to what they want. When the Nationals stood before Australia and declared our opposition to the Voice, we did so because we knew no unelected body could speak for ALL Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians. How could it? How could a body of 24 people cherry-picked from the nearly 900,000 Indigenous Australians hope to speak for all of them without even consulting them first? It couldn’t. And every day since that announcement, the Voice proponents have come after me in the media, telling everyone that I don’t speak for them, I don’t represent them, my views aren’t their views. THANK YOU! YOU’VE MADE MY POINT! We are not the same! We think differently! We have different views, opinions, beliefs, ideas and plans. We are not a monolithic people destined to agree on everything! We vote for leaders who best represent our individual views and we send them to speak those views in the nation’s parliament. Just like every other Australian. I know it, you know it, they know it. That’s why Albo and his Referendum Engagement Group are changing the rules for referendums just in time for their Voice vote. They’re throwing buckets of taxpayer cash at the Voice, they have the backing and big bucks from woke corporations and sycophants, they’ve played the game to build their Yes campaign, now they’re changing the rules to try and stop the No cause. It’s undemocratic, cynical and dishonest. Labor has changed the referendum rules to saturate the country with “education materials” on the Voice. The Yes campaign will ramp up its bullying, gaslighting and emotional blackmail tactics – anything to get their own spoiled-brat kind of way. And while we all waste our time and government money on this, nothing gets done to address the REAL problems. Yours for REAL solutions, Jacinta Nampijinpa Price Price is right on every point.

All Aboriginal children in the Pilbara have been sexually abused. All of them. In the Initiations - they all go through - boys and girls - THEY ARE GANG RAPED FOR 3 MONTHS I cannot say it any clearer - but you have a major problem with reality. I have seen raped children as a first responder - it's some thing you NEVER get over Nowra quotes the indigenous welfare worker Pam Greer who says: Men are having sex with children, young girls, young boys … It’s a tragic, tragic situation because the children lie awake at night, waiting for it to happen to them, just lie there, waiting. They know it’s coming for them, because it’s happened to everybody. And who are they getting abused by? People who are in positions of power … And what happens? The children get stoned, get drunk, hang themselves, and we all know why. Aboriginal children are on track to comprise half the Queensland children in care by 2015. The current 40 per cent figure compares with 25 per cent in 2004, a near-doubling in eight years. Welfare officers use the terms “notification” and “substantiation”. “Notification” means the child appears to need protection from serious harm and does not have a parent able and willing to protect them from the harm. Further investigation can result in “substantiation” involving either remedial in-home measures or placement away from the child’s home. Carmody says the imbalance of indigenous children in the Queensland child protection system has grown strongly in the past eight years. They are now five times more likely than non-indigenous children to be “notified” for abuse or neglect, six times more likely to be “substantiated” for abuse or neglect, and nine times more likely to be living in out-of-home care. In Queensland’s discrete indigenous communities, where 10 per cent of the state’s Aborigines live, the child abuse and neglect are far worse and worsening. The communities of Hope Vale, Mapoon and Wujal Wujal had rates of serious harm to children more than twelve times the state average. These appalling rates, Carmody says, had been occurring alongside “extreme poverty” (even with welfare payments?), community and family violence, drunkenness and drugs, non-employment, over-crowding, poor dental and general health, and poor education. Since 2008 state and federal governments have spent $100 million on the Aurukun, Coen, Mossman Gorge and Hope Vale communities, equal to $30,000 per resident. Results in school attendance and violence reduction have been positive, but only half the residents surveyed felt parenting was improving and only a third felt there was less fighting between families. |

There is no justification given for including the Voice in the Constitution other than it's the non-racist thing to do. Questions about how it is different from all the existing Aboriginal representations, programs, organisations is ignored. So when the ONLY argument for Yes is that a No would be racist, people rightly suspect hidden motives and bad faith. If it cannot be openly debated then it is a bad idea that must be defeated. |

Title: Re: The Voice Kool-Aid Post by Frank on Dec 13th, 2022 at 3:16pm
Louis Nowra begins his compelling essay Bad Dreaming by describing a conversation he had with an Aboriginal man during a stay at the Alice Springs Hospital, a place notorious for assaults on staff.
The Aboriginal man proudly tells Nowra that he had to rape a 13-year-old girl because she wouldn't say yes. Nowra goes on to recount how some years earlier he struck up a conversation with two Aboriginal men in their 70s who were off to town to buy a toy dinosaur for a 12-year-old girl who had sex with them simultaneously. What amazes Nowra in both these cases is the men's lack of embarrassment or shame. In the next 90 pages Nowra explores the history of male Aboriginal violence against women and children from the early days of white settlement through to the present. Drawing on official statistics, court records and media reports, he paints a grim, deeply disturbing picture. Many of the crimes he details are unspeakably violent: babies raped and drowned; a woman bashed, bound and left to die on an ant nest; another doused with petrol and set alight. The list goes on. The problem he sees are the men and a legal system that has twisted itself in knots to understand the unthinkable and the unimaginable. Nowra, however, is a sympathetic and knowledgeable observer of indigenous culture. As a playwright and author, he has worked with Aboriginal actors, lived in and visited indigenous communities over many years. He writes lucidly and candidly about his experiences with domestic violence in his family and the housing estate where he grew up. For those who have followed the issue - it is more a national crisis - Nowra's essay is a profound contribution to the debate. While there may not be much new factual material, having it all drawn together in such a sustained, well-crafted, well-argued way makes for powerful reading. Nowra's account is a print version of the landmark interview Alice Springs crown prosecutor Nanette Rogers gave to Lateline in 2006. As such it may be a more lasting document. There are those who have argued, and continue to argue, that Aboriginal violence is no different to domestic violence found in mainstream society and that to draw attention to indigenous crimes against women and children is just another form of racism. Nowra rejects this, noting that in Queensland alone indigenous children are up to 45 times more likely than non-indigenous children to be admitted to hospital having been assaulted. "For many Aboriginal children, the only future is an endless repetition of the horrors they have already experienced," he notes. Part of the reason Nowra gives for penning his unrelenting commentary is a respect and concern for Aboriginal people and a determination to keep the epidemic of violence on the policy screens of decision makers, law makers, indigenous leaders and countless publicly funded pressure groups. Nowra worries that coverage of Aboriginal violence in the mainstream media is sporadic, that it comes in waves with shocking revelations one day and nothing the next. He has a point. Some publications, such as The National Indigenous Times, have largely ducked the issue or even shot the messenger. The publicity given to indigenous violence sits at odds with the sustained media attention devoted to the stolen generation and Aboriginal deaths in custody. Nowra quotes National Indigenous Council chairwoman Sue Gordon, accusing government agencies of taking a softly-softly approach to child abuse because they are "frightened of creating another stolen generation". Audrey Bolger, notes Nowra, wrote in her neglected report Aboriginal Women and Violence that the number of murdered Aboriginal women exceeds those of indigenous men who died in custody. I also suspect that part of the reluctance lies in what Noel Pearson describes as the great divide in the Aboriginal community between those who argue for rights and those who call for greater responsibilities. So much of the indigenous struggle has involved fighting for rights - legal rights, land rights, human rights, rights to royalties - that to acknowledge male violence may subvert the notion of entitlement for past wrongs. The situation would be helped if, as former ATSIC chief Mick Gooda tells Nowra, more Aboriginal men stood up and said violence is not a part of "our culture". If this essay has a weakness it is Nowra's need to convince his audience of the problem rather than exploring solutions. Take the perfectly reasonable option, floated by Indigenous Affairs Minister Mal Brough and endorsed bly Nowra, of physically removing men accused of violent crimes from communities. The resources required to do this are probably way beyond the budget of the Federal and Northern Territory governments, which still treat indigenous affairs as part-time portfolios. Where would these men go? Under what laws would they be held when they have been convicted of no crime? How would the victims who remain in the communities be protected against payback from furious relatives? There are few simple answers. Alice Springs' jail is already overflowing. What is needed, as Nowra suggests, is a total-solution approach: tougher laws, education, zero tolerance, improved rehabilitation (the present situation is a revolving door) and the removal of children from lethal environments. |

Aborigines etc already have all the voice they need same as everyone else.
They already have a higher percentage of representation in Parliament than their percentage representation in the community. They are already enshrined in the constitution as Australians - same as everyone else. They also have lobby groups, special representative groups with access to government, and over-representation in the press. They have the support of Labor, the Greens, the majority of Independents, as well as a number of those on the 'right' side of Parliament. What the actual powers and functions of any Special Voice are intended to be has not begun to be addressed. The wording is vague, perhaps deliberately so. Such a voice is racist, discriminatory and exclusionist. It is not clear if any 'voice' has political voting power in Parliament. Such a voice body would be an ATSIC or similar that could never be abolished or stood down for corruption etc. It will achieve nothing that cannot be achieved without it, and at huge and unnecessary cost in money and disturbance of the democratic process The intent of 'Aboriginal activists' is not to view this as the end result, but as the stepping stone towards the creation of mini-states throughout Australia, all bound by treaty to the Australian Government and funded by the taxpayer and any relevant business wishing to operate there. It is not simply about 'Aboriginal issues'. Any claim or demand by one group has direct effects on every member of Australia. Similar to 'women's issues' and such these do not exist in a vacuum. Depending on the model, it could mean permanent seats in Parliament for people who are only voted on by that one group (or groups) – those claiming Aboriginal descent. To have a separate voice elected only by Aboriginals would mean that the current Aboriginal elected representatives are superfluous and should be stood down. The claim to have 'never ceded sovereignty', means that elected Aborigines are ineligible to be chosen or to sit in Parliament. 44. Any person who – (i.) Is under any acknowledgement of allegiance, obedience, or adherence to a foreign power, or is a subject or a citizen or entitled to the rights or privileges of a subject or citizen of a foreign power: shall be incapable of being chosen or of sitting as a senator or a member of the House of Representatives. |

I would gladly put my name to my position in any public venue, just not here because of the level of crazy I've witnessed, and attempts to dox me in the past. My current stand, in case it needs reiterating, is that I don't support the voice with the information we have at hand, which is very little, which the Government have made clear. The Referendum is not today, tomorrow or next week. There needs to be a public forum where the aims and goal of the voice, the details on how it will work, need to be put to the public and understood. The Government have promised this and I eagerly await it. At that time, I am happy to weigh in again, informed, and share my opinion and how I'm going to vote. Until then, when I see racist shitbags saying the voice will give Indigenous Australians dominion and control over everyone else in the country or that they're not worthy of representation because they subhuman savages who all, every single one of them rape and murder children and should be shot and killed in the streets, I'm going to speak out against it. When that vile, horrid hate speech goes unchecked it festers in the echo chambers, such as this place, condoned by the moderation team and site owner, it can lead to offline extremism which costs lives. If they won't do anything about it, I will at least, for the time I'm willing to waste here, fight back against these insecure little bitch babies trying to improve their own standing in their tiny little pea-brained heads by discriminating against others as if that has any sort of impact on them.

Title: Re: The Voice Kool-Aid Post by Boris on Dec 13th, 2022 at 8:53pm
Are you familiar with the crime statistics of the NT?
Playwright and author Louis Nowra concurs: “Despite local variations, there is a consistent pattern of Aboriginal men’s treatment of women that was harsh, sexually aggressive (gang-rape for instance) and , in our term, misogynist. Given its pervasive nature across the whole of Australia, we can say that it was ancient and long-lasting.” Nowra quotes Walter Roth (1861-1933) a doctor, anthropologist and Chief Protector of Aborigines in Queensland. Roth described at the turn of the previous century how, when a Pitta-Pitta girl first showed signs of puberty, "several men would drag her into the bush and forcibly enlarge the vaginal orifice by tearing it downwards with the first three fingers wound round and round with opossum string. Other men come forward from all directions, and the struggling victim has to submit in rotation to promiscuous coition with all the ‘bucks’ present.” Even worse was his description of practices around Glenormiston: "A group of men, with cooperation from old women, ambush a young woman, and pin her so an old man can slit up the shrieking girl’s perineum with a stone knife, followed by sweeping three fingers round the inside of the virginal orifice. “She is next compelled to undergo copulation with all the bucks present; again the same night, and a third time, on the following morning." In Birdsville, a hardwood stick two feet long with a crude life-sized penis carving at the top, was used to tear the hymen and posterior vaginal wall. “In the Tully area, a very young man would give his betrothed to an old man to sleep with her and train her for him. The idea was that the elder would ‘make the little child’s genitalia develop all the more speedily’. There was no restriction on age or social status at which the bride would be delivered up. As Roth observed, ‘It is of no uncommon occurrence to see an individual carrying on his shoulder his little child-wife who is perhaps too tired to toddle any further.” Accounts from the missionary era are daunting. In 1905 the local telegraph operator at Fitzroy River reported that a five-year-old half-caste girl, Polly “was out with the old woman, Mary Ann, when a bush black took her away for two nights during which time the blacks here said he made use of her. Such actions as that of Polly and the men are very common among the natives.” Anglican lay missionary Mary Bennett in 1934 testified, “The practice to which I refer is that of intercision of the girls at the age of puberty. The vagina is cut with glass by the old men, and that involves a great deal of suffering…I remember my old Aboriginal nurse speak with horror of the suffering which she had been made to undergo.” A practice as bad as female genital mutilation is still inflicted on hundreds of boys annually – involuntary sub-incision, the slitting open of the male urethra. The controversy continues into the current period. |

Peter Sutton finds it distressing that in north and central Australia, relatives of small children “cruel” them by inflicting pain to make the child angry and violent, even from six months old. He believes this is a tradition dating from earliest times when aggression needed to be instilled in children.
NOWRA WROTE his book “Bad Dreaming” after a spell in Alice Springs hospital in 2005, when he saw numerous Aboriginal women and young girls with severe injuries from domestic violence. He visited outback communities and found them astonishingly brutal: “Some of the women’s faces ended up looking as though an incompetent butcher had conducted plastic surgery with a hammer and saw. The fear in the women’s eyes reminded me of dogs whipped into cringing submission.” In contemporary Australia, polygamy and traditions of promised-brides continue in Arnhem Land and other remote areas. Until recently, the judiciary was lenient in such cases involving forced under-age sex. Jarrett writes, “There are Aboriginal men who still claim these modern young girls as their promised possession, and have cars, guns, outstations and kin to help them secure and punish these resistant girls, well away from public purview. ..A man’s traditional sense of entitlement, and use of violence to enforce it, can still triumph over the emancipation of a young Aboriginal woman’s mind.” In 2004 at Yarralin near Katherine, a 55-year-old married man physically and sexually assaulted his 14-year-old promised bride for two days while she pleaded she was too young for sex. In August, 2005, in an under-the-tree session, Justice Brian Martin noted the cultural context, and gave the man a one-month sentence suspended. On appeal the sentence was increased to three years and a defence appeal to the High Court was lost. Justice Martin later admitted he had been too lenient. In 2002 at Maningrida, Jackie Pascoe Jamilmira, a 50-year-old wife killer, had forced sex on a 15-year-old promised bride, for whom he had given presents to the ‘bride’s’ parents. He then fired a shotgun into the air to warn off the girls’ family members. Justice John Gallop of the NT Supreme Court sentenced him to 24 hours gaol for unlawful sex, saying the matter should never have come to court. Pascoe, he said, was exercising his conjugal rights in traditional society and the girl ‘knew what was expected of her. It’s surprising to me [that the defendant] was charged at all’. The North Australian Aboriginal Legal Aid Service relied on expert anthropological evidence to argue that promised marriages were common and morally correct under Aboriginal law, and supported his application to the High Court. |

So Australians are asked to vote to change the Constitution when we do not know what we are voting for. Are we really this stupid? The lawyers have read it and said Australia will be Governed by the High Court not by Democracy because all laws and legislation concern Aborigines. They are not our friends and just want to destroy Australia and not make it a better place - and the Voice is step 1 and step 2 and 3 is "Truth Telling" and "Makaratta" or Revenge/ Payback We are going into this blind deaf and dumb as well as stupid Voice model to be decided after referendum The Albanese government will not introduce legislation on a proposed model for the Indigenous voice until after Australians go to a referendum in the second half of 2023. https://www.theaustralian.com.au/subscribe/news/1/?sourceCode=TAWEB_WRE170_a_GGL&dest=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theaustralian.com.au%2Fnation%2Fpolitics%2Findigenous-voice-model-to-be-decided-after-referendum%2Fnews-story%2F063bab9c6caf70ac8bbdb80ca7a6ac3c&memtype=anonymous&mode=premium&v21=dynamic-low-control-score&V21spcbehaviour=append |

We have 1100 or so Aboriginal organisations advising every level of government. By their own accounts, they each do a fantastic job.
What difference will one more make and why must it be embedded into the Constitution? I tell you. To be justicable, that is, lawyerable. And it will be lawyered every time the executive doesn't do as advised by the Voice. There is simply no other reason to have an advisory body to be constitutionally cemented in place for the purpose of twisting the arm of government. Why have the Voice in the Constitution if it can be ignored by government or parliament? The answer is self-evident: it has to be in the Constitution SO it cannot be ignored. So the 'may make representations' is a phrase meaning 'will make offers the government could not ignore'. |

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

The High Court was voted into the Constitution with no detail of how it was to be structured or how it was to operate. Yet Australians took the Government of the day on trust and enacted one of the most efficient and trusted organisations in existence. The Voice is similar. We have no or little detail, we are expected to take the Government on trust and have enacted a good means of representing the needs and requirements of the Indigenous People of Australia. We have the nay-sayers, the time wasters, the Racists spreading their lies about what The Voice will be and what it's powers will entail.

Unlike the previous views of the Australian Left, the current radical orthodoxy has attained almost ubiquitous official status, endorsed in such works as Bringing Them Home (1997) on the alleged “stolen generations” and in countless verbal acknowledgments, at public meetings and in documents of every kind, of the “traditional owners” of the land and of the Aboriginal “elders, past, present and emerging”, oblivious to the real nature of pre-contact Aboriginal society, with its horrifying and barbaric record of infanticide (about 35 per cent of Aboriginal babies were murdered at birth), cannibalism, the gross and ubiquitous mistreatment of women, tribal warfare, and its total failure in 50,000 years to produce a written language, permanent settlements, or a viable agriculture with a food surplus. This focus on the alleged merits of pre-contact Aboriginal society is almost always accompanied by the denigration of white settlers as mass murderers who carried out massacres and genocides. |

Title: Re: The Voice Kool-Aid Post by Frank on Dec 16th, 2022 at 10:54am
the core planks in the feel-good case for the Voice are starting to unravel
The first to go is the idea that constitutional change is just a symbolic act. The second is that this proposal will bring the nation together, healing divisions. Neither assertion can be sustained. For proof, look no further than the statements of Noel Pearson, the key leader of the ”yes” campaign and one of the architects of the Voice. Five years ago, Pearson and Shireen Morris, a lawyer and academic, wrote in the Australian Law Journal about why they favoured a constitutionally mandated Indigenous body that would advise parliament and the executive on laws and policies. That article shows that such a body was about power, not symbolism: “It would provide a constitutional platform for Indigenous empowerment … it avoids the uncertainty of symbolic constitutional change,” Pearson and Morris wrote. The line about healing divisions bit the dust on Tuesday thanks to Pearson’s vilification of senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, who had asserted that the Voice would entrench racial divisions. By lashing out at Price, Pearson proved her case. The Yes side of this debate is already fostering divisions. Nowhere in Pearson’s spray, broadcast for seventeen minutes by ABC radio, did he come close to addressing the issues she had raised the day before. Price has reframed this debate. She has transformed this referendum into a test of whether Australia will adhere to the great principle that underpins true democracies. “We are not looking for more division,” she said. “We are part of a liberal democratic Australia and one of our fundamental principles is that we are all regarded as equal under the law despite race, despite gender, despite anything else. “Why should I as an Indigenous Australian be governed by a separate entity because of my race? “We are here to serve Australian citizens of all backgrounds and it is not right to divide us along the lines of race, especially in our Australian founding document,” Price said. Some might quibble with Price’s assertion that the Voice will “govern”. But consider the possibilities that must now be under consideration: it looks like the Voice will have a separate bureaucracy, it looks like involving itself in matters that extend beyond Indigenous affairs and the Prime Minister has conceded it would be a brave government that ignored its advice. That looks a lot like a shadow government that would affect public policy across the nation while remaining accountable only to a sub-set of society. Thanks to former High Court judge Ken Hayne we also know that if the Voice is established, the High Court – and not parliament – will have the final say on disputes about its powers. That puts an end to the argument that parliament will be in control of this institution — just as it is in control of advisory bodies such as the Productivity Commission. The difference is that the Voice would be embedded in the Constitution which means ultimate control rests with the High Court, not our elected representatives. Chris Merritt |

Read this - it's even worse:-
https://www.auspublaw.org/blog/2021/03/the-relationship-between-parliament-and-the-voice-and-the-importance-of-enshrinement Huge thing - many ins and outs - I don't have the time to do it now... just a a coupla things though:- . Emeritus Professor Rowse has observed that according to the Uluru Statement “parliament would be obliged to take notice of [the Voice and] to refer issues to it for advice and to respond to any advice that the Voice sent back or offered unilaterally” (at p 6). One way obligation there – and the limits of the demand for 'response' are not shown.... . “As can be seen from the model put forward in the Interim Report of the Indigenous Voice Co-Design process, it would be possible to give some effect to the Uluru Statement by adopting a purely statutory model of the Voice and consultation. One of the main advantages of a statutory model is that, consistently with what the Hon Murray Gleeson AC, QC the former Chief Justice of the High Court, has observed, it could give the voter an opportunity to see how the proposal operates in practice and make any changes needed to be adopted in the light of the experience gained from time to time with the statutory model (at p12). Those changes would not be needed to be put the voters at a referendum to alter the Constitution.” Hence the 'trial run' by the Andrews Government at Victorian level – clearly under tight controls and not 'acting up' so that all looks kosher. There remains the ghostly and ghastly spectre hovering in the background of any government amending the running of any voice in any way it chooses once it is in. “The Interim Report proposes an “obligation to consult” (at p 52) in relation to matters that would be connected to the races and territories power, and measures that would engage the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth); and to an “expectation to consult” (at p 53) in relation to matters that would have a significant impact on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people of national significance.” Again – all citizens are affected by all laws etc – nothing is limited to any social group. “First and foremost, it would prevent at the federal (and state/territory) levels of governments, the Parliament from abolishing the Voice and the need to consult it on matters affecting First Nations peoples in the making of laws by the Parliament (and the development of executive or administrative policies or programs).” I note zero reference here to 'laws that affect Aboriginal people only' – it says “in the making of laws” pure and simple. |

Well... Pearson and I accept MMT and the Job Guarantee, but most aren't aware of MTT, and CIS/IPA ideologues actively oppose MMT. Yet obviously above poverty participation in the economy is the beginning of closing the gap, because the demoralization of mere survival - often in states of chronic alcoholism, and perpetuated on poverty level dole payments, will not and cannot close the gap. By all reports there is a growing mental health problem among white youth who are facing the insecurity of the gig economy, falling housing ownership rates, and the climate change issue (though the latter might just be a reflection of dissatisfaction with the current state of neoliberal capitalism in general). So...your "go get a job" mantra is obviously simplistic and hence inadequate to deal with the problems facing white and black young people in today's economy in which home ownership rates are falling.

Nobody says that - but when the facts and figures show a picture - there are clearly problems that need to be resolved ... your kind grasp at this false interpretation - that people who criticise and comment fairly on realities are somehow attacking the whole group ... very short-sighted thinking of you - and for a good reason - nothing else will sustain your stated position. So you will continue to defend this group as a whole, and while they are sheltering under the protection of society's prohibitions on criticising faults within that group - they will never improve their ways.

Can you show us the tattoo on the forehead of the bloke who comes in the door looking for a job - the one that tells us he does not do meth and ICE and does not beat his missus and starve his kids while hitting the booze and won't just not show up for work but rather go fishing or something or off with his mates smoking dope etc? |

Anything the No campaign says can and will be construed as “misinformation”. We have seen this already with the appalling attacks by Noel Pearson and Marcia Langton’s on Jacinta Price. Brace for much more of that — and wonder, too, if the bile and attempts at character assassination are a foretaste of an empowered Voice?
To make an informed self-determination at the referendum’s ballot box, ordinary Australians must have full access to both sides of the argument, pro and con, which the Albanese government has already legislated to ensure this won’t happen. Meanwhile, Australians are subjected to a daily and massive pro-Yes propaganda barrage by the taxpayer-funded ABC and SBS. If Australians prove slow on the uptake, allow ourselves to be persuaded by the government’s nakedly rigged ‘information’ offensive and vote Yes despite changes to the Constitution having yet to be revealed, it will be too late! Labor and their confident, conceited acolytes would have us believe that support for the Yes vote is a lay down misère. It is beholden upon the rest of us — those who care about Australia as a whole rather than advancing the narrow interests of one group only — to contest the creation of a separate and sovereign Aboriginal nation on the Australian continent, for that is where the ‘Voice’ will take us. Once embedded in the Constitution, such an internal ‘sovereign nation’ will be impossible to dismantle. Despite Albanese &Co’s efforts to promote one side of the debate and suppress the other, this is the threat and the message all Australians must hear. |

I have no doubt that, already, courageous and ingenious legal minds both are conceiving bases upon which to litigate the many legal and cultural implications of the voice. The voice, or a member of it, is almost certain to argue in the courts that a member of the executive government, in executing a parliamentary enactment of a representation of the voice, took into account an irrelevant consideration, or failed to take into account a relevant one, or made a decision that no reasonable person could make, shifting indicia relied upon in almost every challenge brought to the actions of government. ... A voice in any form, in my view, will give rise to many arguments and division, legal and otherwise. If the body is to be an elected body, how is the franchise for it to be determined, regionally (as so far suggested), linguistically perhaps, or some other way? Will voter registration be compulsory? Will voting itself be compulsory? Will an expended Electoral Commission oversee elections to the voice? Will the High Court or some other court be a Court of Disputed Returns? Will the voice need not only its own extensive premises in Canberra and in many other places but also its own executive and other staff to assist it? Will it have a cabinet? Is there not a real chance that it will be infiltrated by the established political parties and become more an instrument of a predominant political party in the same way as Sir Alfred Deakin predicted the progression of the Senate as a “state house” to a battleground for centralised political parties with scant regard for the states the senators nominally represent? What is proposed seems, whether constitutionally entrenched or not, is in substance a kind of a separate parliament. The hallmark of a parliament is its capacity to raise taxes and, one hopes, to expend them wisely. If the parliament does not do that, then the paying public gets its opportunity to express its disapproval at the next election. There is no suggestion that the voice will be self-funding. It will have no direct accountability to its financiers, the taxpayers. The voice can be seen as powerful, costly and ultimately unaccountable to its financiers. It is, I think, arguable that the members of the voice, and all those who may be employed in carrying out its functions, of which I think there will be many, funded as they will be by the commonwealth, may be “officers” of the commonwealth within the meaning of s 75(v) of the Constitution. That section enables certain aggrieved peoples to apply to the High Court for constitutional writs against such “officers”. There is little clarity about what is proposed. ... Like senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price and many other Australians, including many, many lawyers of goodwill, I do not think the voice is the way. Ian Callinan was a justice of the High Court of Australia from 1998 to 2007. |

Really, dickheaddle? Really? Justice Brownhill took into account mitigating circumstances in her sentencing. She said the teenager - an initiated Warumungu person from Tennant Creek - had been exposed to serious domestic violence that had seen him diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder at the age of 10. His father had spent time in prison for domestic violence offences and he had a long history of contact with the child protection system due to his father’s absence and his mother’s alcohol abuse. He has been diagnosed with foetal alcohol spectrum disorder, severe expressive and receptive language disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder and chronic PTSD. He had also been diagnosed with a mild intellectual disability and “severe cannabis use disorder”. He had been smoking cannabis on the day he raped the girl. The court heard the teenager had struggled to engage at school because of bullying and his PTSD. But since he had been at Don Dale he had been engaged in school and had received positive feedback from teachers about his behaviour and enthusiasm in the classroom. He now hopes to finish Year 12 and join the army. The teenager would ordinarily have been transferred to adult prison when he turned 18 on December 7. But the court heard the chief executive of the Department of Territory Families would likely give permission for him to complete his sentence at the youth detention centre due to his previous exemplary behaviour at Don Dale. He will remain on a Territory Families or Community Corrections supervision order upon his release and will be forbidden from contacting his victim or her parents. https://www.skynews.com.au/australia-news/nt-teenager-who-raped-sevenyearold-gir So under Aboriginal law he is an adult - initiated into the mysteries - but for whitey law he's a child.

Do you know what happens at Initiations?
I do. Graham Davis used some previously unaired footage of Fred Hollows, filmed in 1992 when HIV-AIDS loomed as a key problem in the outback. Hollows was going public about the practice of elders in some tribes sodomising boys during the course of initiation. Davis asked: "Does that mean Aborigines ought to be told not to do it?" Hollows replied: "Yes, of course. What else am I going to say? Do it and die?" Using the plain-spoken Hollows to ventilate a matter the politically correct would rather no one talked about was a deft touch on Davis's part, in an exemplary cover story. Although no other media, as far as I can tell, picked up on the sexual element in initiation ceremonies, no doubt it gave an added edge to the debate that raged, in and out of federal parliament, all through the week on the role of customary law. ..... In 1992 Fred Hollows was filmed talking about the practice of Aboriginal elders in some remote communities sodomising boys during initiations, and he complained about the HIV infections. The footage was aired only recently (mid-2000s). Nowra says, “It is highly probable his comments were considered too inflammatory and regarded as culturally insensitive.” |

You wouldn't entertain some white guy wandering into Arnhem Land and claiming it on the basis that nobody there can resist, would you?

No campaign leader Warren Mundine has accused Anthony Albanese of “crocodile tears” over the voice after the Prime Minister refused to meet an Indigenous delegation on the eve of Thursday’s announcement.
Mr Mundine, one of the most prominent Indigenous voices opposed to the constitutional reform, told The Australian on Thursday that Mr Albanese had the opportunity to meet 20 Aboriginal people from around the country on Wednesday and had knocked them back. The delegation had travelled to Canberra to express their concerns about the voice, but could secure meetings only with the Coalition and some members of the crossbench. Mr Albanese choked back tears on Thursday as he announced the wording of the question to be put to Australians at a referendum later this year. Mr Mundine said his emotion sat in contrast to his unwillingness to meet Wednesday’s delegation. “If he‘s fair dinkum and those tears aren’t crocodile tears, he should have met with them and listened to their concerns,” Mr Mundine said. “They are the sort of people he says the voice should be working for. He had the chance to prove that, and he didn’t.” Albo is listening to only what he wants to hear. |

The Voice is so divisive the ‘yes’ mob can’t even agree on a referendum question!
Isn’t it typical? The “referendum working group” – a committee set up by the government to give advice about the Voice – have been arguing about exactly how massive the change to your Constitution should be. The activis. ts running the show insist that the Voice needs power over government ministers and departments as well as the Australian Parliament. But the government just wants the Voice to ride roughshod over Parliament. According to union activist and working group member Thomas Mayor: “We are trying to land on a form of words that will give our people the most powerful Voice possible…” He reckons the people on his side who are concerned about the massive impact on the Constitution are acting like “white saviours” for proposing limits on the power of the Voice1. Marcia Langton, the veteran activist who actually wrote the book on the Voice, accused “relevancy-deprived, race-baiting constitutional conservatives”. And they’re talking about their colleagues who support the Voice! While her working group is arguing over what wording they want in your constitution, Indigenous Minister Linda Burney is in denial. “There is no division and I want to make that extraordinarily clear,” she said on Friday2. Yeah, whatever mate! Burney said the legislation containing the question to be put to the Australian people along with the wording to be contained in the Constitution would be tabled in Parliament in the last week of March. Let’s see if the government meets that deadline, shall we? Even if they do get their act together and have a draft of the wording together by then, Burney said it would be subject to a “comprehensive parliamentary inquiry”3. So after all this, after years of debate, after the 272-page Indigenous Voice Co-design Process “final” report, they are still fighting over the wording of the referendum and what exactly to put in the Constitution! No wonder the ‘yes’ side is a mess, because the problem isn’t which particular model of the Voice. The problem isn’t whether it has power over the Parliament and executive government or just the Parliament. The problem isn’t the wording. The problem is that the Voice is a dangerous and divisive idea. It’s enshrining division and separation into the Constitution and it doesn’t matter which form of words it takes. It’s wrong on principle, full stop!

Price is as confused as anyone; she thinks the nation can close the gap by letting blacks do it. Yet as Laura Tingle wrote yesterday: "Whatever the merits of the proposal, it feels we need much more explanation and discussion about how the Voice can make a difference." Sorry about that, graps.... |

Jesus, dividie - clearly you are confused - she didn't say that not having the voice would close any gaps - she said there were ways of doing that and the voice would never do that, only create more division .... and, by extension, eventual civil war.
What this demand for a voice will do is create the environment wherein the Australian people will demand to know where all their hard-earned has gone in 'closing these gaps' for the poor suffering Aborigines. Once it is dead, cremated and buried, there might be a chance of finding some REAL solutions to the Aboriginal's problems, brought on by their own sovereign individual actions ... just for a change... and without changing the entire economic structure by which the civilised West operates. Clearly giving them personal sovereignty - so anathema to you - to make their own decisions about all this lovely coming their way has failed again and again - and only serves to line the pockets of their self-appointed Aboriginal aristocracy - same as this stupid voice is intended to. So in that limited area - clearly there is a need for a single centralised governing body to control the cash and cut duplications. |

Yes23 campaigners, who will target voters in SA, Tasmania, WA and Queensland, are instructed to follow the “Four Vs framework – value, villain, victory and vision”.
After discussing values, which are universal or widely supported, campaigners are told to “name the villain, or unfair barrier, including who or what is harming us and why – pick a villain that most people dislike or distrust”. The Yes23 document tells volunteers to single out wealthy miners as villains: “Mining billionaires care more about profit than protecting our country.” This is despite some of the country’s biggest mining companies, such as BHP and Rio Tinto, backing the voice. Other villain themes include harm caused by discrimination of the past, successive governments taking funding away from local communities without consultation and past governments reneging on promises made to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Under the Four Vs framework, “value” is based on Australians believing everyone deserves a fair go, “villain” focuses on exposing discrimination and racism “that still has an impact today”, “victory” celebrates the voice as a practical step forward and “vision” represents a “united community where everyone is treated with respect and dignity”. Yes23 volunteers are told that “in this campaign, when they go low – we will go high”, and encouraged to “introduce yourself using positional language rather than hierarchical language”. The key message for voters categorised as Sceptical Allies, who Yes23 fears are adopting arguments from “covert conservatives”, is that a No vote will “be a big setback for FN (First Nations) people”. Opposition Indigenous Australians spokeswoman and No campaigner Jacinta Nampijinpa Price said “once again we see the Yes camp making it up as they go along, and ‘redirecting’ voters who just want the detail”. “The fact they are treating voters like mugs shows the complete desperation on the Yes side, and the fact their proposal only serves to divide us, not unite us,” Senator Price told The Australian. “This is all the more disingenuous given the Yes camp has eagerly accepted several million dollars from some of the world’s biggest miners.” https://www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/politics/indigenous-voice-to-parliament-yes23-campaign-must-target-17m-soft-voters/news-story/a40a8e15c8724b142d9b35a8f2367821 Tellembuggerem. The mining companies support the Voice, yet they are vilified for the mongs by the totally dishonest Yes campaigners. The hoof is showing and the knife under the cloak. Vote No. |
