Foxy believes we should just lie down to the New World Order under Communism, so we can be accepted as progressive with this statement.

"Now this country of ours has an opportunity to show who
we are becoming. To show who we truly are - and accept
the invitation being extended to us by our First Nations
People to settle once and for all the unfinished business
of their disadvantage.'

She wants us to believe Megan Davis, Marcia Langton, Linda Burney, Thomas Mayo, etc and those who formulated the Voice and requested from Albanese the Voice are gravely disadvantaged. Once the Voice comes in all their disadvantages will be overcome, and the Voice remains so it unites us all and we feed their permanent disadvantage. Because the Voice in the Constution is permanent.

"Foxy did not lift most of her last post from
the George Megalogenis link given by mhaze."

Well everyone's free to read each and make up their own mind. eg

Foxy wrote: "In choosing to campaign against the Voice on behalf of a shrinking part of the electorate - Opposition Leader - Peter Dutton and his supporters, risks turning the Party of Menzies which governed Australia for 51 of the past 74 years, into a Protest Party of permanent opposition."

Whereas Megalogenis wrote: "In choosing to campaign against the Voice on behalf of a shrinking part of the electorate, Dutton risks turning the party of Menzies, which governed Australia for 51 of the past 74 years, into a protest party of permanent opposition."

Completely different dontcha know.

Guardian's Essential poll shows Yes 42%, No - 48%. Last month it was Yes- 43%, No - 47%. No swing there.

Indyvidual,

Here is a link from the National Museum:

There's nothing honourable or reasonable in giving a pass
to those who want to continue to discriminate.

Josephus,

Urging a country to be inclusive is not an attack. It's
progress.

mhaze,

Another attempt to douse with gasoline and fan the flames.

Bad show.

A few sentences do not make - "most".

Hi Foxy,

You are trying to impart an important message of understanding to a group of hateful old men, we are well aware of their dispositions from what they post. Unfortunately such effort is a lost cause, just as the skunk cannot lose his obnoxious odour, the bigot cannot lose his obnoxious disposition.

If the Voice is lost, and there is every possibility it will be, then the struggle for Australia's First Nations people will continue. Its defeat will be a set back for all who support the cause, but it wont result in a total capitulation, it my be a defeat in battle, but it wont result in the loss of the war, the struggle will continue as it has everyday since 1788.

Dear Paul,

I will be crushed if the Referendum loses.
I have always tried to remain positive about the people
in this country despite the many hurdles that my parents
had to overcome. I've had the support of so many wonderful
people. From neighbours, teachers, colleagues, friends,
and the list goes on. I came to believe that this is the
best country in the world - having travelled widely and
worked overseas.

Anyway, I will still retain the hope I have for this
Referendum succeeding in my heart. I refuse to allow the
nay sayers to drag my hopes down. And that goes for people
who like to bite - while having a bad day. As we know -
fear grow in places unlit by knowledge. People who discriminate
claiming its "tradition."

Here's a few quotes from Noel Pearson:

He said the Voice was "claiming the right to take
responsibility."

"By all means, blame us, but give us a say in the
decisions that are made about us before you do."

"This is the message of the Voice. By having a Voice,
we will be responsible for closing the gap."

Pearson pointed out that the power to legislate on
the basis of race already existed in the Constitution.
"So it makes sense to establish a body to advise on the
exercise of that power."

"Recognition through the Voice will provide a new
power for Parliament to legislate the Voice that is
not based on race but rather on recognition of our
unique position as First Peoples of the country," he said.
