Here is the proposal for the Voice referendum!!!
Quote:Constitutional amendment
The proposed law that Australians are being asked to approve at the referendum would insert a new section into the Constitution:
"Chapter IX Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples
129 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice
In recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia:
There shall be a body, to be called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice;
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice may make representations to the Parliament and the Executive Government of the Commonwealth on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples;
The Parliament shall, subject to this Constitution, have power to make laws with respect to matters relating to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, including its composition, functions, powers and procedures.”
Quote:In summary, these principles are:
The Voice will give independent advice to the Parliament and Government
The Voice will be chosen by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people based on the wishes of local communities
The Voice will be representative of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, gender balanced and include youth
The Voice will be empowering, community-led, inclusive, respectful and culturally informed
The Voice will be accountable and transparent
The Voice will work alongside existing organisations and traditional structures
The Voice will not have a program delivery function
The Voice will not have a veto power.
https://www.niaa.gov.au/indigenous-affairs/referendum-aboriginal-and-torres-stra... How will it be chosen by Aboriginal people? Is the government going to set up a parallel democracy based on race?
Quote:How many remote Aboriginal communities have employment opportunities....
They all have the same opportunity as everyone else - to go back to work after their camping trip. They choose not to.
Quote:The Mabo and Wik decisions gave Land Rights and Native Title to Aboriginal people as long as they maintain a physical and spiritual connection to their traditional lands....
As the article explains, this is a communist poverty trap.
Quote:This is causing a problem when the services are not delivered
You are very confused Phil. We are under no obligation to provide the same services to people who choose to liver in remote communities as we do to those who choose to live where those services can actually be provided.
Quote:The Voice will give these communities the chance to have positive input
How?
Quote:and make decisions concerning there own lives
You mean our lives, by demanding we mobilise at huge expense to provide services to remote communities with no viable or sustainable industry? Just an ever expanding parasitisation?
Quote:who do nothing to support these communities
Why can't they expected to support themselves?
Quote:They do to some extent however it is not working is it....
It is not working because of racists like you Phil. You would not tell these lies to a dying remote community of white people, but you happily trot them out to Aborigines and make false promises of endless services to unsustainable communities.
