There is only one question on the Voice Referendum.

The question on the ballot box is:

A Proposed Law to alter the Constitution to recognise
the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander Voice.

Do you approve of this alteration?

Voters then write yes or no.

Foxy,

The PM promised lots of things and nothing about a treaty. It looks as though he won't keep any of them.

One these "Elders" waffled on about where is the difficulty in acknowledging the Indigenous in the Constitution.
They'll get a 110% YES to get that acknowledgement but they'll have a hard time getting support for the hidden agenda which is the second question the Yes mob tries to hide !
It should be clear to anyone with a gram of integrity & sense that two different questions can't be answered with only one answer !

Even if it is 'the right thing to do'....

What happens right...

When we formally recognise in the Aussie constitution that they were here first?

It's a can of worms.

The second we formally recognise that...
- Then its opening the door to reparations, and rent and high court challenges to every government decision that doesn't not consider their 'voice'.

People won't be able to knock a fence post in without paying for and getting the ok from the indigenous authority first.

They already have a voice.
They can vote (and be ignored) like the rest of us.
