Dear David,

Thank you.

Surely as decent moral people most Australians
do have the capacity after hundreds of years of history
to finally do the right thing by the First People of
this country who are not asking for very much.

As decent moral people could not support a vote for "a voice" without knowing what they are voting for.

Albozo has sunk the referendum. Without the courage to tell Australia what they are voting for the referendum will die.

Dear Josephus,

And the answers can be found here if you wanted to do a modicum of reading.

The only question is whether Albo will adopt the report in full. If he doesn't then there will be a need to further inform people of any changes.

Let me know if you feel any of your questions, (not Dutton's because he is just playing people), have not been answered and I will be more than happy to hold your hand and work through them.

That was Australia's original sin, and it should be recognised in the War Memorial.
davidf,
Not Australians, British !

David f, the original aboriginals were full blood and not the interbred group of today, that want their ancestors land back. The Voice is not intended to deal with the history of the settlers but to deal with first nations people today.

If the Voice represents the primitive culture of the past, they do not need to have a body in government, as they can manage their own. The Voice if it gets up, should only deal with people of full blood, living in their culture and on their land grants. It should not represent any persons living in cities of first World environments.

indyvidual,

I think that David F., was referring to the first
inhabitants of Australia - who were of course
the Aboriginal people, who generations of Australians
remember from that one history class when the teacher
mentioned them.

Of course the Fleeters considered themselves as British
and the fact that they were on the other side of the world
would not stop them feeling that way.

In fact, it took some time for the British and their
descendants in Australia to stop thinking of England as
"home."

Some say the tendency only really died out when Robert Menzies
passed away in 1978. ?Australia under any name was viewed
has been viewed as an outpost of the British Empire far beyond
the point at which this perception was literally true or even
remotely reasonable - as we can see from so many of the posts
on this forum.
