The dark side of The Voice : Comments

By Murray Hunter, published 23/1/2023

Without arguing the actual merits of The Voice, there is a dark side. These 'dark' issues would be 'collateral' to the existence of The Voice, and must be given due consideration.

The alcohol ban had expired under the NT Labor Government during the time Albo was elected. The violence problems were highlighted by Jacinta Price when she was elected, but her voice counted for nought under Albo's elitest Voice proposal.

Listen to aboriginal elders like James Dargin in Woolongong who has learned to forgive the past and live in Australian community.

Hi mhaze, Josephus, ttbn, Indyvidual, Yuyutsu and others

GOOD NEWS for the NO VOTE

but not for Steeleredux, Paul or Foxy.

The Sydney Morning Herald reported Jan 24, 2023 http://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/support-for-voice-slips-as-voters-await-more-detail-20230123-p5cenw.html

"Support for Voice slips as voters await more detail"

"Australians’ support for an Indigenous Voice to parliament has fallen from 53 to 47 per cent after a political row over how it would work, putting the proposal in danger of defeat at a referendum later this year.

Only 13 per cent of voters are confident they understand the plan for constitutional change to give First Nations people a bigger say in national affairs, heightening the debate about whether the government should reveal more details to build popular support."

COMMENT

Poor Albo may need to release details even if that threatens the hopes of leading urban radical, rather Caucasian-looking "Aborigines"

who look forward to the money spinner of Whites Paying a Reparations Rent Tax to this self-appointed "Aboriginal" minority of Black Landlords.

" rather Caucasian-looking "Aborigines""

I think the correct term is ABBAriginals ie people who claim to be indigenous but wouldn't be out of place in an ABBA cover band.

Dear mhaze,

You quite facetiously write: “Oh! Do you think the Voice is going to be involved in handing out the money? Seems right. Perhaps that's why they refuse to provide details.”

No, because I have read the readily available details, why don’t you give it a try?

The Voice will not be handling project funding at all.

Dear Mavercik,

So no acknowledgment that you altered the quoted text. Are you going to do so?

At least you have dialled back the rhetoric and seem more concerned about what it might cost you.

"The Voice will not be handling project funding at all."

Yet when I talked about the push to collect rents you related it to the Voice which I specifically hadn't done.

I wonder what its yearly budget is projected to be.
