Fester,

Thanks for the kind words.

Our Prime Minister already knows
what's involved. Peter Dutton is a conservative pundit
who has a remarkable amount of free speech. He doesn't
need me. He has his own agenda.

But thanks for thinking of me so highly.

Foxy,

I have read and done the research and I doubt that you have. Even Albo does not seem able to give any details.

Your links to platitudes given by voice supporters have zero legal bases and are at best benign opinions meant as bromides for the masses.

That the voice is to be consulted at every level of the elected government and civil service means that the power and scope of the voice are far beyond what Albozo would have us believe.

Australians are not stupid enough to sign Labor a blank cheque.

Dear Shadow Minister,

I can assure you that I have done my research and I
find it difficult to believe that you don't seem
to understand what the Voice is all about. Try again
with an open mind, and don't insert what isn't there.
This is such a simple request and I truly don't
understand why you insist on making it complicated.

I'm sure that if Dutton would have come up with this
idea you'd be all for it. It's a real shame that
politics has been brought into it. But as
Prof. Megan Davis pointed out - this is the way
the Indigenous people and their issues have been treated
in this country. We need to make changes to that.
It's way overdue.

Foxy, you are true to your name - sly.
I ask you to defend the Voice for the lokes of Megan Davies, and Linda Burney. How are they disadvantaged? You have no answer, which means they have no need of a Voice, as you understand the Voice. In that case VOTE NO!

Dear Steele,

How many iterations of rule have there been before our current system of government and how long did it take? You claim that Atsic had minor problems that could be fixed simply, but obviously many other people thought otherwise and the decision gets made by the majority. That is democracy.

I think it would be far worse to establish a system that would be much harder to change by a democratically elected parliament. I have no illusions that government doesn't make mistakes, but I will always prefer to have a say. The Voice would not be answerable to my vote, and that I think decidedly undemocratic.

Dear Foxy,

You are very welcome, and I wish that Mr Albanese knew half as much about the Voice as you do.

They'll be able to help.
Foxy,
Our local Library hasn't heard of it and, you why ? Because no-one I spoke with is aware of a reference to indigenous being required to accept equal responsibilities & you don't appear to know either !
