Sorry Everald having followed and agreed with many of your thoughts over the years you are very wrong supporting the yes group. Having lived with and around Aboriginal people for 50+ years this would have to be plain idiocy to even suggest this style of legislation, especially changing the constitution will improve anything for the people concerned. Even those Aboriginal people (very few really) who are actually aware of what this issue is, they are primarily against it. The yes group are in many cases sucking on the nipple of government and looking after their own or family interests.
Having witnessed the billions of dollars waste over the years, any yes is only going to continue to make it worse.
NO NO NO all the way.

I think you will find that the Calma/Langton proposal is for twenty-four elected delegates drawn from thirty-five regions across the country including the Torres Strait.

The vote will only be available to registered first nations people in those electoral areas and delegates will have staggered four year terms (maximum two consecutive terms).

Dear Josephus,

Being your normal disingenuous self I see.

You had been asserting Aboriginals didn't need a body to advise parliament because they already had indigenous representation.

I pointed out to you that there are many bodies which advise the government, many of them funded by our Federal coffers.

You are now saying the Voice does not need to be enshrined in the parliament. That is a separate argument.

It has thankfully reduced the racism inherent in your argument but the process certainly has been illuminating.

The Yes brigade already has the ABC & SBS. That is way more representation than any other group in this Nation !
