'you can bet your bottom dollar
that every racist will vote no."

Well I would think that every anti-white racist will vote yes.

"If you take a look at the Sentinelese tribes from which the aboriginal tribes descended 4.230 years ago out of India"

What a pig ignorant statement from an unapologetic troll.

Go away.

" 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 above. 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 will save lives. No, will invalidate them:

Paul,

With no records, there is no indication that the culture was even continuous. Cultures can change a bit in a single generation.

Wow SR, you're basing your entire rejecting on a typo? McKinlay, McKinley? And you don't even know who made the typo!!

The problem with the way you do what you'd probably call research is that you end up with only one or two data points. If one, you proclaim that to be the one true fact and do a victory lap. If two, you decide to choose one of those, being the one that suits your predetermined judgement, and then do a victory lap.

But the fact is there is usually many data points if proper research is done. Over the years I've seen more than a few investigations into stone age people's need to consume their own in times of severe want. It's neither good nor bad....just a thing. Its how they survived when the environment turned against them or when their neighbours stole their food supplies.

I get that you are enamoured of the Disneyfied world you think the natives existed in pre-contact. But it just wasn't so. Struth, they didn't even know how to boil water, so a good cuppa was out of the question. How primitive is that?
