The federal budget released on Tuesday included $1.9 billion in measures which Indigenous Australians Minister Linda Burney said would make a "practical difference".

It will be interesting to see if money fixes the isolated aboriginal health and education. Could the $364.6 million have been better spent in remote communities on housing and education? The money is taxpayer funds directed to a racial group that needs accountability of results, rather than posturing.

"The government has allocated $364.6 million for the referendum to enshrine an Indigenous voice in the constitution, including funding for the electoral commission, civics education and mental health support.

With smoking and vaping being a persistent health problem in Indigenous communities, a $141.2 million prevention program will be rolled out.

Cancer services targeted at First Nations people will get a $238.5 million boost."

This just shows what a gormless lot the Albanese government is. $30 billion a year has made no difference to people who are apparently incapable of helping themselves, and now a further 1/15th of that will be life-changing, according to the Minister of Aboriginal Handouts.

Voters must stand up to this racist nonsense. We can't do much about what money goes where, but we can make our feelings known by voting NO to that other sop to 3% of the population, the race-based Voice.

Jose',

The $364.6 million is over three years, and its not simply there "to enshrine an Indigenous voice in the constitution", a small component of that will be used to conduct the referendum later this year, $52.6 million over two years for the Australian Electoral Commission, the National Indigenous Australians Agency and the Attorney-General’s Department to begin preparatory work for the national vote. Not a lot when you think Morrison wasted over $5 billion as a sop to the French for upsetting them. There is $1.2 billion allocated to "closing the gap". Of course none of this pleases you, those of your political ilk see all expenditure on Aboriginal affairs as undeserving waste.

ABC maniac, Patricia Karvelas, has pronounced that the future will see descendants of aborigines "central to our nation".

That's right: 3% of the population identifying as blackfellas (with or without proof) will be 'central' to Australia. The 97% of us will be also-rans.

Another ABC genus, Dan Bourchier, backs this up saying that the Voice is 'wake up call for ALL Australians' (to commit cultural suicide, supposedly).

Nasty-as-ever, Laura Tingle, says that the Voice is a "truly transformational gift … if only we take it".

There cannot be a crazier place in the world than Australia these days - with the Albanese Marxist government, the ABC, and the dazed, beaten-down citizenry being bribed with their own money.
