Well according to Foxy's post, "ADVICE: the Voice will be able to advise parliament and the executive government, whereas the NIAA can only advise the latter.
ANU’s Professor Wood said that while public servants were "meant to give free and fearless advice", they were not, in a broad sense, "responsible for the decisions they make, because it's the minister, at the end of the day, who makes the final decision".

This means the Voice will have more voice power over executive Government decisions than the NIAA currently and have self-determination independent of Government. It gives them powers to administer aboriginal policy independent of the Government. Aboriginal affairs should be taken out of representative Government, which means the NIAA would morph into the Voice.

No other section of the community has this powerful Voice directly to executive Government. It will be overtaken by radicals and those in the future influencing aboriginal opinion - like Mayor and Reid. They already have a vision for the Voice.

Foxy,
that link confirms what's wrong with the the industry ! Morally & technically the Voce is lacking the integrity & vision needed to do what they're trying to make us believe but not what they really have planned !

Dear Individual,

I have no control over what you and others, choose to
believe. The facts have been presented so many times
in this discussion.

You have a choice - history is calling.
I see no further point in arguing. No matter what the
result will be nothing productive will be achieved by
arguing with people who continue to regurgitate lies
and misinformation.

The world will judge us. The measure of our society and
history is our fidelity to our principles. We must remind
our government and our people to remain faithful to those
principles or otherwise our society, like so many in the
past, will be swept on the ash heap of history.

Great to see Foxy has admitted her defeat with her intrenched opinion - "nothing productive will be achieved by arguing with people who continue to regurgitate lies and misinformation".

"We encourage ALL Australians to read reliable research
to make sure we're well informed about what the Voice is,
and what it is not. Don't get sucked in by myths like
the 10 we've debunked..."

"The Voice is nothing to be scared of. On the contrary we should
be proud of. Amending our constitution to give First Nations
people a Voice to Parliament would demonstrate we're a mature
nation, one that's ready to recognise the past injustices and
committed to building a better future in which the rights and
dignity of ALL Australians are protected equally."

Voting YES to the Voice will save lives.
Voting no will invalidate them!
