Why would anyone care a scrap about DNA testing unless it related to beneficial treatment compared to other Australians with a different result? For me, this is a reason why equal treatment of citizens should be a foundation of democracy and my main reason for voting No.

Sophistication is the reason that there are so many people living in the world today. Sure, everyone can dream of their idyllic life, but ditch the wicked ways of sophisticated civilisation for the noble and environmentally responsible hunter gatherer existence and nearly 99% of humanity dies. Wouldn't that be fantastic?

time to line up for your DNA test Indy.
Paul1405,
No problem, I can prove I've paid income & a host of other Taxes towards my retirement all my life ! Plus, I've never claimed to be indigenous Australian ! Those indigenous who are not really indigenous can claim all they want in my book if they agree to be equal to all others living here, no preferential treatment. The Voice should state but it never will, that all people living in this Nation have equal opportunities & Rights & responsibilities but they'll never agree to the latter two for reasons more obvious than daylight !
Please reply to this question; Do you think it right that non-indigenous have to pay for everything for their childrens' education including air fares home every school holiday whereas indigenous parents who in many cases earn more than non-indigenous are getting it all free plus the students receive "spending" money ?

Perhaps if you stopped encouraging the idiot by continuing to respond to his idiocy he would go away and be an idiot somewhere else. He and his idiocy are of no use here.

Tbnnks ttbn,
I have blood taken every two weeks and have no problems if they want to do a DNA test.

Here is a fact of a developed civilization 50,000 -100,000 years ago, that built stone features.
" Wall on Easter Island
There is an old saying, “a photograph is worth a thousand words” but sometimes a photo will ask a thousand questions. The construction of this wall is the in the same style that is seen in Peru and other places around the world. Today we do not have the technology to constructed these stone walls today yet in very ancient times on a small island in the Pacific Ocean, Peru, Egypt and other places around the world they had this knowledge on how to form-fit stones. Modern archaeologists tell us that these parts of the world had no contact with each other in very ancient times; yet they had the same advanced technology for stone construction.
If there was unknown advanced civilizations on earth 50,000 or over 100,000 years ago, one of the few things that would survive this length of time would be stone objects. There are many things in this world that does not fit into modern archaeologists and scientists notion of “known written history”.

What happened to the 65,000 years of aboriginal history?

An unpublished report obtained by SBS News has outlined
the cultural and archaeological significance of Kokatha
Aboriginal sites that were discovered in a military
testing range in South Australia.

The report describes a cluster of stone hut foundations found
inside the weapon testing range that were either used as
habitation structures or as low walled hunting hides.

A total of 14 individual structures were recorded although
more could be present. GML Heritage Consultants wrote in 2020
in their Heritage Management Plan for the Defence Department.
