THE VOICE IS ABOUT INTEGRATION
NOT SEPARATISM!

Says Noel Pearson - at the Sydney Ideas event:

He's one of money giving the facts and telling the truth.

Noel Pearson understand his own people.
He's a lawyer and money is not a problem for him.
But in the Aboriginal culture - it's a different
story. That's why a Voice to Parliament is necessary
to understand things better.

Jose,

"“It was dreamed up by a whole lot of people, aboriginal people, in Sydney and Melbourne. The elites in academia.”

These are the same groups of people who have failed Indigenous people for decades, Mundine argued.

Does Mundine cast himself in that same mould, a claimed activists who has failed Indigenous people for decades.

Warren Mundine, seems to go against the grain of those who claim an Aboriginal elite are running the "Yes" campaign. It could be said Mundine is also an Aboriginal elitist from the "No" campaign. I'm sure if Wazza was still in the Labor Party (17 years a member) he would be a staunch "yes" campaigner. Self interest is a powerful thing.

Dear Steele,

Preferential treatment to a group of people is not the perversion of democracy I want. The Immigration Restriction Act is a regrettable part of Australia's history. Using the race powers of the constitution to enable another perversion of democracy with The Voice would suggest that Australians still don't understand the importance of equality in a democracy.

Dear Yuyutsu,

I think of the social and scientific advances as tools. I doubt that the world's population would be growing were women in control of their fertility, so I don't see population growth as a direct consequence of an advanced civilisation. Rather, I think that stable or even declining populations are the norm in them.

Does that answer your question.
Paul1405,
No because it is not an answer to my question. Yes, my post was negative, in fact as negative as the situation I described. All decent Australians are for closing the gap but the likes of you do everything they can to prevent this closing because it'd entail responsibilities towards others which is something you et all abhor because you et al are one-way merchants.
The Voice would be a very good thing if it was designed to be run by genuine, caring people. As things stand it is nothing but a power grab by revenge-charged activists who have always had it better than the average citizens who work & pay Tax !
