"The Constitution of 1901 gives Parliament the power to
write law, it gives
it power over us, hence the comfort zone of its bubble."

If you thought that was unintelligible drivel, you should read the article Foxy lifted most of her post from....
http://independentaustralia.net/politics/politics-display/voice-referendum-a-step-closer-to-an-australian-republic,17747

A bunch of words looking for a coherent thought.

It seems that, according to these people, anyone who isn't in the Yes camp "don't appear to be particularly well educated".

As the whole project unravels, I expect we'll see a lot more of these temper tantrums.

The 1967 referendum gave indigenous Australians equality. The 2023 referendum will make indigenous Australians dual citizens.

mhaze says: "Had all this been explained at the outset..."

Well it was - one of the authors explains:

"Professor Davis also rejected claims that the extra pages were kept "secret" until recently, noting that most have been publicly available for years, as they form part of the 2017 Final Report of the Referendum Council.

"That's the formal report. It's all in there … nothing hidden," she wrote on Wednesday. "It's been there for seven years."

Straight up denial and delusional contributions from some.

I wonder if it is because they have been schooled by an Indigenous woman?

The Prime Minister has made it quite clear that the
Uluru Statement is a "gracious request" one that
would give our First Nations people input into
policies that were particularly impacting them.

He said:

"Every Australian wants us to close the gap. Today
points the way to how we are going to do it. By
consulting the people on the ground, by working with
the people who live alongside these challenges. By
enshrining a Voice in our Constitution and by listening
to that Voice."

Arguments against the Voice and all sorts of wild and
whacky claims by opponents have since been disproved
although not quite disappeared from a small minorities
mindsets. Still that's to be expected in a colonised
country. However, with time, things will change.
Much already has. Australia today is different in so
many ways from what it once was - and it will
undoubtedly continue to grow and advance. A "fair go,"
will become more than just a slogan in the future.
At least one can live and hope - that decent people
will see to that. The others will end up pushing
cabbages. History will not be kind to them.

Here are the main arguments for and against the Voice:

WTF,

Oh, it must be Wednesday

Today we're pretend that all 26 pages are the Statement and always were.

Yesterday (and tomorrow?) it was only the first page and everything else should be ignored.

Basically, their claim is that the extended Statement is a wonderous document in the same category as the Magna Carta, which contains all the detail as to the proposal that you need to know, and which should be completely ignored because it has nought to do with the referendum....or something.

The Yes camp have been trying, for obvious reasons, ever so hard to deny the extended Statement but then pretend that its all well known to the public.

Show us all where they make this claim.
