ttbn,

If the Voice referendum fails, and there's every likelihood it will. Sometime in the future either a Labor or Coalition government will pass legislation giving a consultative voice to Aboriginal people by law. Then the same government will put forward another referendum with bipartisan support, which will enshrining recognition of Aboriginals as the first peoples of this continent, that will be within the Constitution. For all intention purposes the outcome will be the same, a voice with recognition.

What I thought would be difficult is "Treaty", but it appears now with states making the running, "Treaty" in the future at a national level will be a far easier thing to achieve than most would have anticipated. Of course with your arch conservatism you're not going to support any of that, but you'll fine yourself if you're still around, confined to a very small minority. The world moves on, Australia moves on. Like it, or lump it.

Foxy,

You are making bold statements that you know are not true. Firstly, because as you acknowledge the shape of the voice has not been clarified and given that it will advise every level of government, it looks like it is a huge monolithic entity all funded by the taxpayer.

Albozo has consistently lied to Australia and now no one believes a word he says.

The voice is dead after Oct 14 will be the funeral.

The far Left is made up entirely of liars, from Albanese down to the dregs here. I don't understand why you and other sensible posters keep reading their rubbish, let alone respond to it and encourage them.

If the Voice is defeated, it'll be due to Langton, Mayo, Pearson & the lesser known activists as they've unwittingly made themselves the Voice's benchmark. Regurgitation of pontificated fails are not a basis to build a better society on !

Even more people than a month ago are intending to vote NO to the race-based Voice, according to polling. Aborigines should no be treated as an homogeneous group or as victims; it is insulting to them.

The sentiment is now 61% NO, to 39% YES. Victoria is the only state in favour.

Victoria is the only state in favour.
ttbn,
That concurs with my earlier suspicion of Sept. 9
