"We are not responsible for the Australia of the past; we are responsible for that of the future. As we celebrate this Australia Day weekend, nothing more starkly engages that responsibility than the proposed changes to the Constitution.
That is all the truer because the proposed voice cuts across the fundamental pillar of a democratic society: political equality. It is simply undeniable that the proposal would grant one group of Australians a constitutional entitlement – to a representative body of its own – other Australians do not enjoy. Yet ever since the distinctively Western concept of human freedom made its appearance on this Earth, the right of all citizens to participate in the political process on an equal footing has been the lodestar of the struggle for a fairer world."

GOOD NEWS Foxy
Increasing numbers of prominent Aborigines are favouring the NO Vote. The Guardian reports 27th Jan 2023 http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jan/26/in-the-clamour-and-confusion-around-the-indigenous-voice-the-media-has-a-special-responsibility In rallies held in cities around Australia yesterday "Indigenous opponents of the voice sought to use the traditional Invasion Day rallies as a de facto launch of a no campaign, arguing that justice can only be achieved via a treaty. ...Greens senator Lidia Thorpe has hardened her opposition to the voice on the basis that it would amount to “ceding sovereignty”, amounting to setting up “an advisory body to the colonial system”."

GOOD NEW MAVS!
The opponents to The Voice and other nay activists won't make much of a difference - except try to influence people such as yourself in spreading fear. The actual Indigenous Voice to Parliament will be the proposed new advisory group containing separately elected Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people which will have a responsibility and right to advise Parliament and the Australian government on policies and programs that affect them. These activists are merely noise makers. Posted by Foxy, Friday, 27 January 2023 5:58:40 PM

'One Voice', what a joke.
Just discussing the topic shows there are many voices. Even the indigenous themselves can't agree on what they want. What does Albo think everyone thinks just like him? Imagine if this nation were populated with clones of Tony Albanese. What a horrible thought. Can't believe Australians are dumb enough to vote for this class of political imbeciles. Oh that's right, we risk a fine if we don't put our support behind one of them. Promotes 'continuity of shiteshow' Posted by Armchair Critic, Sunday, 29 January 2023 2:42:21 PM

and people are putting ribbons on the fences
and gates of Cathedrals and churches everywhere.
The clergy can't keep up to remove them fast
enough. And Pope Francis is saying that being
gay is not a sin. Interesting?
