In 2020, she told the Search Foundation, that the Voice is “the first step in redistributing power”:
The Voice is the first step in redistributing power and enabling self-determination.”

In a speech posted on the Search Foundation’s Facebook page in February 2020, Reid said “First Nations want the power in their hands, that’s what the Voice is about” and “the Voice is a journey with all Australians to begin to demolish the systems that continue to oppress us”.

In March 2023, Teela told attendees at a Voice to Parliament forum held at Blackwood Uniting Church, “It’s going to be very difficult, once we succeed, for a government to ignore this Voice. It will be powerful.”

Like Thomas Mayo, Teela Reid also calls for “reparations and compensation” to be paid to Indigenous Australians. In a May 2023 interview about the Voice to Parliament with the Ethics Centre, she said:

“You know that there does need to be reparations here, there does need to be compensation, there does need to be these tough decisions and reparations for what First Nations people have lost.

In 2020, she wrote in the Griffith Review that “the struggle for a First Nations Voice” is about the fight for “compensation and reparations”:

“The struggle for a First Nations Voice has been 250 years coming, ever since Captain Cook landed uninvited in 1770. It is about the fight for land rights, water rights and the right to save our planet from the colonial structures that have attempted to destroy it. A constitutionally entrenched First Nations Voice is recognition that our sovereignty never was, never will be ceded.”

From Senator Jacinta Price.

Note, Paul, Foxy, and Paul who are communist sympathizers will not be affected by Jacinta's report on the architects of the Yes campaign, as they want disruption to the Australian way of life and power given to elite communist elders. THE YES CAMPAIGN IS A VOTE FOR UNELECTED POWER.

Am I a communist?

Lets see.

My family fled their
country from communism. My family members were
brutally tortured and murdered for their Christian religious
beliefs, others were shipped to
Siberia. All by communists. My parents came to this country
fleeing from communism. And because I now support the YES
vote in the Voice to Parliament in this country - I am accused of being a communist - by a self-proclaimed Christian.

What should I call the accuser? Should I seek legal advice?
This is slander - and should not be allowed on a discussion
forum such as this one.

Surely no

Nietzsche talked about the Knightly Code vs the Priestly Code.

Nietzsche equated Christianity with the Priestly Code and I expect that he would put Communism in a bucket that was even more priestly.

Perhaps Christianity contains elements of both the Knightly and Priestly codes. The Protestant ethic seems to be more Knightly than the Methodists.

Many Christian groups have moved to the communist side- even the assumed conservative Catholic Church.

A person can say they aren't a communist- but if they say the same things as a communist then you might doubt their view.

In modern times there are a number of biblical passages which have been used to justify a more communist way of looking at the world- but in such a vast body of knowledge- as is the law itself- you could interpret it in many ways

But the vision of Communism's Crystal Palace is different than the reality of Communist Leaders who just want total power- and are happy to destroy the principle of separation of powers in order to achieve it. Communism is a very ironic philosophy and can be compared to Taoism where you "do something by doing the opposite".

Yin Yang- Dragon and Lotus- Anger and calm- Jungian Archetypes
To appreciate life one must study death.
To get total power you must talk about total freedom.

Orwell- freedom is slavery. War is peace. Torture is love. Scarcity is plenty. Lies are truth
