Recognition and closing the gap are lost in the Voice debate : Comments

By Dinesh Malhotra, published 28/9/2023

The question though is – is the Voice the only way and the right way to do that?

2. that many Indigenous people would have been victims of colonization of this continent; and thus,

3. their claims for compensation are worthy of attention for redressal, going forward.

Almost no living Aboriginal people are the victims of colonisation and hence virtually none deserve compensation. So the premise on which this article is based fails at the very start.

That's right. In fact Jacinta Price outlined the benefits of colonisation to aborigines then an now, and was abused by the Yes side for saying so. She is now under police protection because of threats from some Yes voters.

Dear Dinesh (the author),

That is a very serious accusation, Dinesh. Here is what the Prime Minister declared at the House Question Time on 8 August 2023 :

Are you suggesting that the Prime Minister was lying to Parliament ? If so, would you kindly provide details of your evidence together with source references so that we may check it out ?

Many thanks.

Banjo Paterson,
Would you kindly provide details that the Voice is what it claims to be ?

I did not affirm that “the Voice is what it claims to be”, Individual. The Prime Minister did that – as you may have noticed on the video to which I posted a link in my comment to Dinesh, the author of the article on this thread.

I’m sure the PM’s office would be happy to provide you with the details you are looking for.

Dinesh, of course, claims exactly the opposite. His accusation that the PM lied to Parliament is extremely serious and should not be taken lightly.

Banjo Paterson,
We're all aware of that & he explained his findings, it's the PM & the Yes panel who still have to provide an explanation !
