The conservative belief that disadvantage is a free choice in life is untrue. The notion that a person would freely choose at a young age to make bad decisions which leads them into a life of social and economic disadvantage defies reality. The truth is the vast majority of society's disadvantaged are born into the trap and the majority never escape from it.

Paul1405,
Yes & No. Many unselfish become disadvantaged & many selfish become disadvantaged. One just has to look at the Australian culture of drug abuse when decent people try to help these morons who take drugs who then drag those around them down with them. Then you have the lazy ones who chose to be on unemployment benefits rather than go to work but bleat discrimination & disadvantage.
Yes there are genuine disadvantaged due to bureaudroids not doing their job but most bleaters of disadvantage are actually quite well off in comparison to the genuine. The guilt indudtry is a clear indicator of that.

Dear mhaze,

Many people can't understand that the Voice will be
constitutionally enshrined but legislatively controlled.
This establishes a balance between constitutional
protection of the Voice while allowing it to be
adapted to future circumstances.

The following link explains:

"Many people can't understand that the Voice will be
constitutionally enshrined but legislatively controlled."

And many people do understand that but ask why it needs to be constitutionally enshrined. Or in my case, ask others to ask themselves why it needs to be constitutionally enshrined/

Two reasons:
1. So that it can't be dissolved like ATSIC no matter how bad it became.
2. Because having it in the constitution would give it prestige and power beyond a mere advisory body. We are told to not fret because it will only advise government but being asked to give it theoretic prestige and constitutional backing that COULD in the future make it much more than a mere advisory body.

My response - yes to a legislated advisory body; no to a constitutional enhanced body.

So no to this referendum.

Each to their own.

A society takes responsibility to improve the standards of their community, they do not need Government Voice. Be a mature society, not a dependent society.
