Dear Shaggy Dog,

I hear what you are saying. And of course human nature
plays a vital part. However, this time we are being given
the opportunity to give a down trodden people a chance
to improve their lot. Who of us can really say no?

Foxy.
Is that a Royal "WE"?
I have no answers and to date have not seen anything else that made any worth while changes to the lives of indigenous folk unless they went after it.
More of the individuals desire than a group. Then that applies to all of us I guess.
Time Foxy is where the answer is, and plenty of it.

Dear Shaggy Dog,

The "we" I referred to was all of us as Australians.
And it is a rare opportunity that we're not often given.
We can make changes - to help others. Whether the others
take it up - is up to them. We're merely giving them
the chance to do so. We can't do more.

"In hard summers, the new-born children were all eaten by the Kaura tribe in the neighbourhood of Adelaide, according to Dr McKinley. "

"In the Wotjobaluk tribe, a couple who already had a child might kill their new-born and feed its muscle-flesh to the other one to make it strong. The baby was killed ritually, by striking its head against the shoulder of its elder brother or sister."

But it doesn't really matter how many examples I unearth, does it, since you'll reject each for entirely spurious reasons (oh all swagman lie) and then proclaim that there's no evidence. Even if I unearth a pre-1788 video of an elder talking about how they had KFC (Kourri Fried Children) once a month, it'd be rejected.

The study of history is about gathering all the evidence, fare and foul, and then making a judgement, not making a judgement and then rejecting the evidence that contravenes that judgement.

Many aboriginals have risen to the top of our society to achieve well above average in their fields. These people do not need a Voice to overcome disadvantage because of race. Their race is not an impedance.

Those pushing for the Voice see it as a position to gain power, if the voice were coming from full blood aboriginals living in remote unserviced communities, one could believe their voice needs to be heard by the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs. But NO! It is a Voice pushed by the elite, to gain power over Government.
VOTE "NO" TO STOP UNELECTED BODY HAVING POWER OVER ELECTED GOVERNMENTS.

Once and for all - the Voice to Parliament is an
advisory body. It has no power. Legislation remains with
the government. Anybody saying anything to the contrary
is spreading misinformation and is a liar. Pay no attention
to them. Like barking dogs - annoying - but harmless.
