It has only been recent history that part caste aboriginals have included the concept of "ownership" into aboriginal language. Since the idea of welcome to country has come into vogue and Australia has identified tribal lands, it has been taught as evidence we have invaded with British culture.

With the rise of multiculturalism and non-western refugees the influences are growing stronger to overthrow English colonialism and install an aboriginal Government for aboriginal affairs and administration of the NIAA budget currently at $4.5 Billion p/a.

Closing the Gap is a NIAA document written by an elite group of people who envisage a fully aboriginal Administration to manage the land and give priority services to aboriginals. The Voice to the current executive Government is the first step to influencing the executive toward self-government by aboriginals.

Currently it is seen as two nations within the country as demonstrated by the flags, and a lead to an aboriginal Republic by stealth.

Ray Illingworth,Lidia Thorpe's white father, says that she is an anti-white racist who doesn't recognise her white side, which was convict. Figures!

How stupid are those who endorse a git like Thorpe ?

With her lighter than my complexion I’d imagine her mother to be part Indigenous also.

Like some Nazi applying the aryan test to prove no Jew blood. A racists git tries to apply the "whiteness" test to people of colour. LT is doing a great job for the 'YES' vote....by radicalising the 'NO' vote. What a strange bunch of bedfellows she has attracted on the Forum.

Paul,

There you are again with your Nazi fetish.

More people are coming to their senses:

"Support for the Indigenous voice to parliament is softening but still holds a lead over the no vote, new polling suggests. A Roy Morgan poll conducted between Friday, April 14 and Tuesday, April 18 found 46 per cent of Australians were in favour of the voice, down seven percentage points from the pollster’s December results. The no vote has galvanised in that time, with 39 per cent of respondents opposing the voice, up 9 percentage points from December."

A former Supreme Court judge predicts the Indigenous voice will paralyse the Australian parliament and "in many cases, the approval of the advisory body will have to be obtained before a bill can be enacted".

Nicholas Hasluck KC, who retired from the West Australian Supreme Court in 2010, describes the proposal to entrench the Indigenous voice in the constitution as contrary to democratic ideals.
