Foxy,
Heard on ABC Radio today that there are now people who want to change their race as well as their gender. Govt is already taking steps to curb what could be a real flood of problems for society. Interesting times ahead !

indyvidual,

We seem to be living in an age of unsettled identities
and the transgender experience has opened up new
possibilities for thinking about gender and race.

Interesting times indeed.

Watching NITV last night a group of aboriginals were following the Forsayth River and educating their children in the landmarks and culture. When they came to the water storage dam, they complained about what the White government had done to their sacred sites along the river, now covered by water. There were two sacred trees that God placed on the riverbank they used to rest under and tell their stories - Gone!
What would be the advice to Government now be? Remove the dam! listen to aboriginal voices or go to the High Court, it is in the Constitution.

josephus,

The Voice to Parliament being made up of rational people
approved by Government would probably use common sense
and rationality and advise government to put up some sort
of signage in the area giving it's history. I'm sure that
an official recognition would suffice.

Or would you vote against that as well?

Each tribe would have reasonable beliefs that they believe affects them i.e. rugby in Alice Springs, so who does Government follow? Enshrining a Voice in the Constitution is different from advising Government which gives the Government options.

josephus,

Government will probably consider the advice given to
them by the members that were chosen to represent
them on the Voice by the First Nations People.
