It has become obvious from Stan's meltdown that he wants the removal of the Crown from Australia [he despises British colonization, King and Crown, and Westminster Government]. When the Voice becomes part of the Constitution and the truth telling becomes effective policy and heredity elders rule the decisions on the Land and water resources. Watch this space Stan will enter politics. I say that because he wants change, and he cannot be an impartial journalist and report other people's opinions without bias.

Apart from thinking he has his eyes on Politics, I also think it possible that he's gotten into some difficulties of which we have not yet heard anything ! So, bailing out is probably a very good distraction from what's really going on. But then, I could be reading too much into this !

"The problem is a viscous circle of neglect.These young folk need more than a job, they need help in life."

Give them a handup, not a handout.
- If they don't want to choose a better path, then there's no-one to blame but themselves.
(This fact applies to all people and races)
Many of us didn't get much of a handup or handout either.

The part that I don't like about all this racial animosity, is trying to make white people feel guilty for things that happened to them long ago, and demands for rent, reparations etc.

No-one should feel guilty for anything that happened that they aren't directly responsible for much less anything that happened before they were born, white people should have a sense of sadness for what happened to them, but not guilt, and governments should try and level the playing field so that these people can better their own lots in life.

But I don't necessarily support the government wanting to change the constitution in a divisive manner that makes one group of people more privileged than another.

And indigenous should stop 'hating' on white people, though I can kind of understand why they are that way.
Despite many valid arguments that colonisation did much harm, it also brought with it many benefits that they too should be given a fair chance to make use of to better their own lives.

I caught a few minutes of this show on tv yesterday something to do with indigenous (but it was muted) and they were all wearing western clothes and jewellery and enjoying many of the benefits of the modern world.

I wonder how long it'll be before the Woke get turned on for the damage they're causing !
Some of us can see it already but it'll take the do-gooders several years yet !

Linda Burney, in Question time today stated The Voice will give indigenous people a Voice in Government. She as being the Minister for Indigenous Affairs is supposed to be the voices is obviously failing her position, she claims an unelected Voice will move the Country forward. All hype and no evidence of how? If she cannot move the plight of indigenous forward, and she is the one who will be representing their voices in Parliament, there is no way it will make a difference.

Speaking of using however many droplets of native blood you have to further your career/power/wealth, I noticed that Albo gave the Lowitja O'Donoghue Oration t'other day to explain to the plebs that the constitutionally protected voice will close the supposed gap.

Of course no one was crass enough to point out that O'Donoghue (real name Lois) had attempted to claim stolen generation status to further her standing in the native community. Only after unassailable proof was produced that she wasn't stolen did she back-down. The whole event was swept under the carpet by the compliant media.

Unfortunately poor old Stan can't get away with claiming to be stolen but he can insinuate that he suffered terribly as an native kid despite having all sorts of privileges that led him to university and a career on the public teet.
