Who is NIAA?
Paul1405,
WOW ! That coming from you of all people says just about everything there is to say about you et al !

Indy,

I know who is the NIAA, I was only being flippant with you sad old fella. Then again it could be the National Institute of Alcoholics Anonymous, are you a life member?

Paul1405,
Seeing that our resident copy & paste link expert isn't providing an answer I'll ask you as well. Do you think the NIAA should be disbanded if the Voice succeeds or do you believe in doubling up bureaucracy at massive cost to us all ? Will the NIAA still be relevant ?
Should the Voice be covering all aspects indigenous ?

Indy,

Until we see legislation establishing the workings of The Voice, which is not the function of a referendum, but the responsibility of the Australian parliament to enact laws. If the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice was to perform the same functions as the NIAA, then of course we would not need duplication. However, as The Voice will neither be a law making body, or a money distributing body, but solely an advisory body to parliament and the executive on matters affecting Indigenous Australians then other bodies will retain their functionality.

More of the smoke screen of untruths from the bigoted racists and rednecks, along with the knuckle draggers who can't understand what the purpose of a referendum is, or pretend they can't, this will continue right up to voting day. Been on this forum for many years and have always suspected it has an abundance of racists, but the voice discussions confirms it for me. Most racists don't believe they are racists, just the opposite, as they are not the stereotypical haters generally associated with racism. Indy you are not a racists, are you?

Indy you are not a racists, are you?
Paul1405,
Depends on how you interpret racism. I have no aversion to complexion. I have an aversion to hypocrisy, intentional wrongdoing, twisting historical fact to suit agenda, etc etc and, if I draw attention anyone not of my race than I'm automatically branded racist & not as someone pointing out wrong-doing.
I have been asked many times where my loyalty & allegiance are & I always give the same answer, with integrity & decency & harmony ! No racial implications whatsoever. To some this is racist !
If I draw the same attention of wrong-doing to someone of my complexion I'm not seen as racist. Most non-indigenous I know have not the slightest gripes against Aborigines, they simply get tired of being branded racist when they're not but the moment wrong-doing by an indigenous is drawn attention to, it's blown out of proportions racism !
Do you now see how opportunistic & stupid this race thing is ?
