Albanese is taking advice "from a group within the aboriginal community".

Do these inner city elites really belong to any aboriginal community?

And, of course, hard Left Albanese is very much a 'group man', as are all collectivists and communists. It's all group rights, not the rights of individuals as in a democracy: something that Australia seems closer to not being since Albanese - division by race, the upcoming Bill to censor freedom of speech (no referendum on that).

It's hard to fathom how the Albanese gang wanted to "help" aborigines, but knocked back a Royal Commission into the sexual abuse of aboriginal children.

The Albanese gang appears to be interested only in 'certain' aborigines; ones that are unlikely to ever have been anywhere near a community of those actually needing help.

It's all about the aboriginal industry hoovering up $40 billion a year without any questions, with no results for needy people.

The author's description of the Voice and everything else about this wicked industry as a "sham" on behalf of the government is far too kind.

We have to treat everything about the Albanese government with "scepticism".

Good article.

The voice was only ever a cynical manipulative exercise in usury.

The sinister play behind the voice is the UN 30/30 Biodiversity charter.
Its plainly stated aim is to turn fallow 30% of the earths landmass by 2030.

It plainly and unmistakably nominates the main tool to achieve this aim as the indigenous inhabitants

You and I are excluded from entry and any use of the locked down land to be administered by indigenous administrations.
In short, the indigenous native may roam freely over all areas of the Australian Continent, but to you it will be Private Property do not enter.

The intention of the charter is to exclude all activity, including recreational activity such as entry into National and State Parks and exclusion from all crown lands, and the elimination of all commercial activity, particularly farming and grazing enterprises.

This is the Voice!

"Had the referendum been approved a defacto-third house of parliament would have been set up"

FFS. Are the RWNJ's still trotting out this blatant lie?

Give it a miss already.

Not a word about the hundreds of millions of dollars spent by mining interests in this country lobbying government. Not a word of the over 1700 orange pass holders who are allowed to roam the corridors of parliament unfettered, many of whom are lobbyists for mining interests, as unveiled by Senator Pocock.

"Federal authorities are being asked to reveal the names of the politicians who give lobbyists full access to Parliament House after growing frustration over hundreds of people who can wield influence in the building without disclosure.
A crossbench alliance is pushing for new rules to reveal the people who have gained unfettered access to the building’s private corridors with sponsored bright orange passes signed by federal politicians under a system that keeps their identities secret."

The Voice would have been completely transparent and its lobbying open.

This author seems happy with the former.

Typical.

Poor o’l SteeleRedux thinks in the minority, the mining industry is the enemy, when actually for those involved in the real world, know the enemy as Aboriginal land rights and the straight out fraud it is.

Development plans are held up for years by Aboriginal bureaucracy with no interest in progress but plenty of interest in what’s in it for them personally.

I think my conclusion above yours implicating outside interests of the UN and it’s Climate Change hysteria, actually making more sense of the obfuscation which was the Voice, whereas he blames the lobbyists for getting in the way of information which may have shed some light on what was in truth the motivation behind it!

Deaar diver dan,

Mate, you go play with the conspiracy theories and the made up 'obfuscations' from Indigenous people while the rest of us acknowledge that Australia's wealthiest mining magnate played a substantial part in the No campaign.

I'm not claiming it altered the final outcome but her deep self interest in the Voice not getting up is as plain as the nose on your face even if you are determined to ignore it. Ultimately it delegitimised the result and tainted those who voted No who may well have done so for legitimate reasons.

And you might be completely happy with mining interests having unfettered and undocumented access to our political classes but i am most certainly not.

Agree with most of this!
