What they are not saying is why it needs to be in the constitution.

If it's up to parliament to legislate it's composition and operation then that can be done now, without any constitutional amendment.

The constitutional change is the dirty work at the crossroads - it opens up the way to undisclosed plans around sovereignty, treaty, legal and financial shake-downs of every kind.



I think you are correct (except I don't think Parliament would, or even could, ever sign away its sovereignty). 

Hence I will be supporting Noel Pearson's OTHER proposal to close the gap.....the JG.

Meanwhile CIS goon Mundine today was banging on about the problems associated with 'the voice'...fair enough.

But he has no solutions for closing the gap...or does he? I found this:

https://www.cis.org.au/commentary/video/on-liberty-extra-ep17-warren-mundine-clo...

A 50 min. video purporting to explain how to close the gap, with this written intro:

In this webinar, Jacinta spoke with Nyunggai Warren Mundine, Chairman and Managing Director of Nyungga Black Group, political strategist and author of recent CIS paper ‘It’s the economy, Stupid; economic participation is the only way to close the gap’.

[My comment: I agree entirely....]

In 2020, the federal government announced sweeping changes in relation to Closing the gap. In doing so, they have committed to setting unrealistic targets, while also omitting to address any targets for the reduction of violence against Indigenous women and children. In his recent paper: Warren addresses the clear gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians. He writes, the gap exists for one reason, and one reason only – many indigenous people do not participate in the economy. The key areas of economic participation are having a job and setting up a business. Both depend on commerce and private enterprise."


Hmm...no role for government?....not a promising start, but let's listen to the video....





They survived 40,000 years without government - but now nothin' doin' WITHOUT government????

That's totally stupid, parrot. Totally.

Jacinta  (speaking to Mundine in the linked video): "Yeh...important point..to be able to assist black enterprise and support black businesses rather than drawing on the welfare bureaucracy". 

Here we see the first contradiction in her (and Mundine's) CIS ideology straight away: where is this "support for business enterprise" going to come from, other than from government?

I already explained that to you, dummy: they lived in a (communist!!) money-less hunter gatherer economy.

Whereas govt. must intervene in a money economy, given the widely differing abilities of individuals to compete for "money", in the neoliberal money-based market competition. 

Interestingly, the first permanent outposts on the Moon and Mars will also be money-less economies, in which everyone has a role to play without requirement/expectation for money reward.

From Aborigines themselves. They need to stop treating private property and private businesses as communal property and free for all Aboriginal kin. They need to value effort, not kinship entitlement to resources owned by other Aborigines.

Nobody in Canberra government department knows better what is needed in remote Aboriginal communities.

But Aborigines, like everyone else, are politically heterogeneous. There is not ONE Aboriginality, ONE voice, ONE political position, ONE solution that fits them all.

Government is for foreign policy, defence, infrastructure - big stuff. It is not for telling remote Aborigines or other small communities how to organise themselves. But government has been putting its thumb on the scales against communities everywhere, telling them that remote capital city bureaucrats (armed with infallible ideology conviction that they are the only solution to every problem) know better than themselves what is good for them. Decades of misery ensued and will continue for decades.
If Aborigines do not change then there is nothing government can do to change them.

Third world immigrants that are successful in Australia have changed the way they did things back in their various hellhole-istans to succeed. They had no Voice to Parliament, no special government intervention - they just changed their ways.  Same goes for Aborigines. They need to change their ways.

Yes, those black commie idiots.....still thinking they are living in a money-less, h-g economy, 'communist' world.

But once that idiocy is overcome, how are they all going to set up viable private enterprises, freeing them from the disaster of dependency on the welfare bureaucracy?

True, all that is needed is black employment -  for all.

Quote:

Again true...but we all agree they all need money earned by their own efforts, like all of us.

You forgot education as a prime responsibility of government, AND  ensuring the social conditions conducive to education

The CDEP actually reversed that sad reality while it existed, but CIS ideology goons cancelled the CDEP.

For one thing, they know how to make 'easy money' off you dumb stupid Whities for starters.

Thing is this - YTF would you give inside running to your parliament (parlous as it is) and every other level of government, to a group whose members continue to entertain such ideas as 'payback', 'their law', their rights to 'do things their way' regardless of consequences to selves and others... and so forth .. as nowhere more clearly evidenced than in the current parlous state of the Northern Territory - where Black politicians are holding far too much power per capita, and suck-holing to Black victimhood is getting way out of control - where obviously the Indigenous do NOT go to schools etc and learn that those days are long gone and they need to see a different way forward, where clearly many just want to pursue a life of crime against White civilisation to try to drive it out but somehow still retain all the benefits - and where obviously they think they have a right to simply demand what they want - even if it is such stupidity as demanding that a police officer acting in self-defence should be punished or 'paid back'.....

Where TF do these people get off with their demands?  And stupid governments are handing them masses of territory for nothing but whining and pursuing terrorism such as at Mt Warning.

Makes any reasonable person think the best way is to quarantine those who do not want The White Man's Way into their own Homelands, and sort through the rest to see how and where they can fit into society, since obviously far too many of them do not want to fit into society.

Either get into the 21st Century or stay TF out of it and everyone else's way.  Go live in your own paradise in a Homeland set aside for you.

Ask Jordan Peterson: requires external assistance, in this case, government.

1. Sobering up program.
2. a Job Guarantee, once 1. is achieved, because the competitive market economy cannot ensure basic success for all; again by definition: a competition has winners and losers.   
3. the above steps required to close the gap.

Cut off the booze and put 'em into re-education!!

First make sure there are jobs in place and there is adequate supervision and training to keep 'em at it.... the chain gang scything roadside grass worked well...

3. Hence close the gap.
Which exactly gap is that?  They'll still die younger, they still won't go to schools, they will still fight and carry on in the traditional way and treat women that way... still neglect children etc.... meanwhile you'll have every second-rate do-gooder up your arse daily over this 'oppression' and 'invasion' and Nazi style intervention by force.... GOOD LUCK.




Footnote - it's so easy to sit back in your comfort zone and discuss the ways to resolve these social issues... that's what governments do - they pass it off to a committee who are paid more to sit on it.... and should be made to sit on it ... and never actually get their hands dirty actually doing anything.

You cannot 'educate' the Indigenous to change their ways.... and you are not allowed, by the do-gooders - to force them to.... so the only solution is a Noweto Homeland of their own, fully fenced of and with no escape possible, for all those who do not wish to assimilate.  The others can be on probation and if they fall out of study or personal development or into crime - off they go to Noweto... then we can start on all the other non-contiguous groups imported over the years by do-gooders in their comfort zones ...

See where your Libertarian fake "freedom values" leads?

You consider government-managed, sensible sobering-up programs as 'enforced re-education'.
 
But how will chronic alcoholics overcome their addiction, in dysfunctional black communities, without outside assistance? Even whites need groups like AA....even in the context of a functional community.

Quote:

Do I detect movement in your brain synapses?....well done!....you have described the start of a JG program. 

Quote:

Nah...that was for criminals.

The CDEP is a better model for instilling the 'habit of work'.

Quote:

...life expectancy, health status, employment stats, poverty stats, incarceration stats.....

Quote:
They'll still die younger, they still won't go to schools, they will still fight and carry on in the traditional way and treat women that way... still neglect children etc....


More GIGO from your frozen brain; the above rectification policies will reverse the sad reality you describe.

First you claim re-education is illegitimate, and then you insist no positive achievement is possible.

Quote:
meanwhile you'll have every second-rate do-gooder up your arse daily over this 'oppression' and 'invasion' and Nazi style intervention by force.... GOOD LUCK.


Not sure who these "do-gooders" are, why they will be up your arse, and who is claiming "oppression and invasion".

eg, Price says the nation must intervene to close the gap.

That's what ideology-informed, competitive-market,  neoliberal governments do, to avoid non-market solutions like the CDEP. 

Quote:

Of course you can, you just have to abandon your delusional Libertarian ideology, to discover how educable humans are. 

Quote:
and you are not allowed, by the do-gooders - to force them to....


The CDEP was a voluntary program, ready to be expanded before CIS market ideologues shut it down

Quote:

We all have to assimilate; Pearson, Mundine and Price all implicitly agree. 

In fact Pearson spelt it out explicitly in his 5th Boyer Lecture: we all have our superficial identities (religion, race, culture) but we are all Australians  ... (even human, like those people overseas). 

Quote:
The others can be on probation and if they fall out of study or personal development or into crime - off they go to Noweto... then we can start on all the other non-contiguous groups imported over the years by do-gooders in their comfort zones ...


Addressed above. Your Libertarian brain is the problem, holding back community development in the name of "freedom".

"Civilization is a race between education and catastrophe" : HG Wells.

Public education via government decree, not via individual Libertarian ideology.
