Legislation to establish Voice : Comments

By Everald Compton, published 10/1/2023

As a committed YES voter and campaigner in the Referendum on VOICE, I am concerned that it is in danger of defeat by a powerful and negative campaign that is demanding details.

mhaze,

My sources don't miss anything.

They acknowledge it all.

You're the one who seems to be having problems
with what's being presented and are desperately
grabbing at straws.

Give it up and let the people decide for themselves.

Can that be extended to https hyperlinks.

So Foxy, are you in favour of special laws for natives by supporting the voice or opposed to special laws for natives by wanting the repeal of S51(xxvi)?

Asking for a friend.

I suspect doublethink in spades.

BTW, you originally claimed "The Constitution has
specific laws just for Aboriginal people and they are
discriminatory laws".

Care to explain how this is a special law just for aboriginals and how they are discriminatory. (Expected answer....one of Foxy's stand-by "if you don't know, I can't tell you" damp squibs.)

Dear mhaze,

You do rubbish on don't you.

Of course our Constitution is racist. Not only Section 51 but Section 25 oozes with it.

"25. Provisions as to races disqualified from voting
For the purposes of the last section, if by the law of any State all persons of any race are disqualified from voting at elections for the more numerous House of the Parliament of the State, then, in reckoning the number of the people of the State or of the Commonwealth, persons of that race resident in that State shall not be counted."

Both sections should be removed in my book.

As to Section 51 applying to all different races, in practice it has really only recently been directed at indigenous folk by supporting the Northern Territory Intervention.

I've pulled up many a pillock claiming the Voice will suddenly make our Constitution racist. It all ready is.

That our first nations people should be referred to adequately in our Constitution is long overdue. The establishment of a Voice to Parliament seems to most decent folk a way of continuing to right the deep wrongs in our past.

Apparently....

The constitution is racist because it allows the government to make special laws concerning aboriginals and that is discriminatory. Any part of the constitution that talks about race has to be deleted. Anyone wh disagrees with that is a racist.

Apparently....
We need to add a new part to the constitution that will allow the government to make a special law concerning aboriginals. That isn't discriminatory. There is absolutely no problem with having clauses in the constitution which are race based. Anyone who disagrees with that is a racist.

Truly doublethink lives.
