Misleading information and false social media commentary
that claims that the Voice to Parliament could overturn any
decisions of government via the High Court have NO
legal basis.

The separation of powers prevent the High Court from
forcing Parliament to enact its advice.

Some people are determined and
have chosen to weaponise their stance against
the Voice by propagating false and misleading
information online.

The facts are that the Voice
is designed NOT to have legal power, NOT to have
a program delivery function, and NOT to have veto power.
The Voice WILL NOT give the Voice a veto or law making power
nor the power to issue commands to Parliament.

Anybody trying to say otherwise - should not be taken seriously.

Foxy, stop posting misinformation that is not what Makarrata is proposed to achieve.

On the AEC website I note "The AEC acknowledges the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters, culture and community. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.

© AUSTRALIAN ELECTORAL COMMISSION 2023"

This indicates where the AEC stands, rather than being neutral on political issues.

Hi Paul and Foxy

What we've all been waiting for:

Here are the Voice Yes and No cases just published on the Australian Electoral Commission site today. These are the:

- "Yes" case in 13 unfortunately, poorly formatted (by Labor) pages http://www.aec.gov.au/referendums/files/pamphlet/the-case-for-voting-no.pdf?v=1.1

and

- the sound "No" case in 7 pages http://www.aec.gov.au/referendums/files/pamphlet/the-case-for-voting-no.pdf?v=1.1

Torres Strait Islanders were handed Sea Rights by High Court Judge Debra Mortimer.
According to an indigenous friend of a mate of mine, the Aboriginals wanted some of the area claimed by the islanders on traditional grounds of roaming the sea in bark canoes but the islanders won. Their "Brothers & Sisters" from the mainland apparently made it clear to them that "when your islands go under, don't come here looking for a place to live".
According to the Judge everything is just so wonderful now !
