CONVENTION REQUIRING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE REFERENDUM VOTERS WITH A GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED BOOKLET SPELLING OUT THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE WORDS OF THE CONSTITUTION,

AND INCLUDING 2000-WORD ARGUMENTS ON THE YES AND NO CASES."

See http://www.aph.gov.au/about_parliament/parliamentary_departments/parliamentary_library/pubs/rp/rp9900/2000rp02

"The YES and NO Cases

Parliament prescribes the manner in which referendum votes are taken.

In most referenda since the Referendum (Constitution Alteration) Act 1912 (No. 2), each elector has received a pamphlet containing arguments in favour of, or against, any proposal upon which s(he) is voting.

Normally, these arguments must be no more than two thousand words in length, and must be authorised by a majority of those parliamentary members who voted for or against the proposed law."

It is obvious that some here do not recognize the Parliament already has aboriginals advising the Parliament and have full voting rights. There is no denial of aboriginals standing for representing their concerns in Parliament.

The Voice is an attempt to divide Australian people along race. Typical Marxism.

I don't know all that many real Aborigines but the ones I know have not & most likely won't want to board this bandwagon !
Besides, all the integrity-lacking pseudo indigenous have already taken up all the seats !

Dear Josephus,

Once again your racist slip is showing.

This is a list of bodies directly advising the Federal government.

There are over 1200 of them.

They include the Australian Livestock Export Corporation Ltd (LiveCorp) was declared under the Australian Meat and Live-stock Industry Act (1997).

The chair is Mr Setter who is also the Chief Executive Officer and Director of Consolidated Pastoral Company Pty Ltd (CPC), Australia’s largest private beef producer with two feedlots in Indonesia.

Why do beef farmers need a body to give advice to government when there a bunch of National Party politicians "advising the Parliament and have full voting rights". "There is no denial of" farmers "standing for representing their concerns in Parliament".

Why doesn't your pissy little comment apply for a whole bunch of other advisory bodies to the federal parliament?

Simple answer, they are black and you do not like it.

Just imagine the peace all decent folk could enjoy if the Woke & the racists didn't have the word Racism to fall back on at every opportunity !

SteeleRedux, do these lobby bodies have recognition in the Constitution? A body of aboriginals can already be appointed to represent their interests, it does not need a Vote by the Nation to establish such a body. Aboriginals already have sales of their products to other Nations especially in Art, Food, and livestock.

I believe I have done more for aboriginal causes than the average city person. Having lived among them for a while and building a school and accommodation for children to avoid their children being removed from their settlements near Alice Springs.

It is people like Stele that continue to want to isolate aboriginals by race when Australia is trying to make race irrelevant and everyone one Nation.
