"The Voice" goes some meaningless way in addressing that, but it is a start.

Aussie, if Aborigines cannot even agree on whether there should be a voice, how are they ever going to be effectively represented by it? Has it ever occurred to you that they might not be some kind of mindless collective, and that treating them as such is actually part of the problem, not the solution?

I am not excluding them from this Referendum. They all get to vote...yes or no. Those that oppose it can vote no. I'll just respond to the wankers who just ignore the important relevance of this thing, people like you.

Would you support a white voice to parliament, which was appointed by the government and which you had no control over, that told the government what you think, on account of you being white?

Pretty pointless given that most of the MPs are white and none of them had ancestors who 'owned' this Land we occupied by force.

Quote:

Those are not principles Aussie, they are meaningless gibberish.

Sure Effendi...just because you said so.

Bleh.

You being obtuse or just phukkin stupid?

Most MPs are white????

You seriously need your eyes checked.

There are 11 Aboriginal Senators & MPs in Parliament.

Per head of population they have more representation than non Aboriginals.

And the non- Aboriginals are not all white either.

Can't believe you ever had a legal background.

I've yet to see any real reason to vote no.

Yeah well ... maybe you shouldn't have a right to vote if that's how poorly you hold the Constitution & other Australians in regard.

Jacinta Nampijinpa Price wants you to vote no, sign the petition, and share this on facebook:

yes, "Australians should be one, together. Not two, divided".

....especially, no group in Oz should be forced into morale-destroying, destructive welfare dependency, while everyone else can find employment.

The Case for a Job Guarantee

PAVLINA R. TCHERNEVA

That's a load of bollocks that "everyone" else except Aboriginals can find employment. Roll Eyes

Lack of comprehension skills?

I deliberately wrote" no group in Oz should be forced into morale-destroying, destructive welfare dependency.

'No group' means welfare dependent people regardless of race.

Which btw slippery FD agreed with, until he realised it was incompatible with this "freedom" ideology.

in his own 'the wrong referendum' thread;

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.
