Dear mhaze,

God save us from the serially offended.

Dear Fester,

You say you want equal treatment for all Australians yet the race powers within the Constitution only ever get directed at Indigenous Australians.

Howard had to suspend the Racial Discrimination Act during the Intervention where he put the army on the streets of 67 different Aboriginal communities. It was all done with virtually no consultation. A whole bunch of freedoms the rest of us take for granted were severely curtailed yet hardly a peep in protest from wider Australia about racial division and equal treatment.

Then the Labor party removed grog bans across all those communities when nearly 10 of them wanted them retained. Again a lack of consultation.

The Voice is a body capable of tempering the excesses of governments using the quite extraordinary race powers within the current constitution. They are capable of being used to close the gap but are often misdirected and rendered ineffectual through misinformed decision making.

Why wouldn't you back it?

Well, lookie here, it seems SR got some 'ligion while on his sabbatical...
"God save us..."

I'd have thought that anyone who had the true welfare of aboriginals in mind, would also be offended at fake aboriginals "making money from our [aboriginal] misery". Unfortunately, for many, the welfare of the aboriginals runs a distant second to virtual signalling.

Dear Fester,

«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?»

It is not 99%, but 100% of humanity will die, and eventually humanity itself too.

The question is of replacement, not of killing anyone.

We are presently beset by technology that has little to do with happiness and quality of life and much to do with squeezing as many of us on this planet.
It would be wrong to attempt to chop off the branch on which we sit, but as we climb down we can afford to gradually allow the top branches to wither.

Indy,

Your question is loaded with negative bias against Aboriginal people, playing the undeserved race card and claiming without offering facts of a free ride for Aboriginal people, how typical of you. Anything that assists with closing the gap between our indigenous brothers and sisters and the rest of Australia in a positive way I am in favour of. Does that answer your question.
