Ask yourself why the Voice activists and those that want to change the date never talk about crime, DV, sexual, drug and alcohol abuse ravaging remote aboriginal communities?

NT senator Jacinta Price does, and she does not believe the "Voice" is the answer or changing date will deal with problems in remote communities. Spend the money for these proposals in remote communities to improve their services.

Josephus,

Wrong again.

By actually giving these communities The Voice
and self-determination - they will be able to better
deal with the problems that affect them rather than
being told by the white man what's best for them. It
hasn't worked thus far with white people making all
the decisions and policies without any consultation.
It is worth trying to give them the self determination
that they are politely asking.

As for Jacinta Price?

The only people she represents is the "luminaries,"
of the Liberal Party. Celebrities on Sky News and in
the Murdoch Press. They all love her. She's their
mouth-piece - not that of the Indigenous people.

What job did you have before you retired?
Foxy,
I worked all my life in tradesman work that provided me with an income, provided my employers with sufficient profit to keep me on, paid top rate tax, literally paid my way by work & by using my wages to pay for what I wanted to buy. Only bought when I had the funds to cover the costs.

Foxy,
Incorrect ! Idealistic bureaudroids of academic back ground do what you're hinting at. White & men of every complexion who spend time in remote communities, don't do that. They work alongside with the locals trying to teach whatever is needed to live a life with the modern commodities the locals so desire nowadays.

indyvidual,

Yes. That's why there are so many Indigenous kids incarcerated
in their prisons. That's why they get such excellent health,
education, and other provisions. - Right. We get it. All due to
the locals working so nicely with the Indigenous. Oh, and
providing them with alcohol - that always helps - doesn't it?

Foxy,

Jacinta Price represents the aboriginal community as much as anyone else, including Stan Grant. OR do you think that all aboriginals are the same and cannot think for themselves.
