Melbourne's Deputy Mayor, Nicholas Reece, seems a likeable enough young man - then he opens his mouth.

His latest pronouncement is , everyone should speak an aboriginal language.

Where would we all learn such a language? There are few native speakers of aboriginal able to teach languages, and most text versions of such languages are just word lists of animals, foods and body parts, abstracted from dialogue.

There is no proof that reviving Aboriginal language has a beneficial effect on aborigines themselves. Any money spent should be on teaching them English, and how to get a job, and get out of the clutches of the aboriginal industry for good.

Reece's sort of nonsense, along with with the Voice, are a result of the inability of Nugget Coombes-type Leftists like Albanese and his activists to accept that most aboriginal Australians have assimilated, and the ones in the bush don't know or don't care about such tomfoolery.

Foxy believes to Vote No disempowers aboriginals. that is Nonsense!

"To propose and suggest something completely alternate to what the First Nations people asked clearly speaks to their disempowerment as our First Nations people."

She does not say how all those well-educated lawyers like Megan Davis who put together The Uluru Statement will suffer by voting: "NO"!

There is another agenda in the Voice, that if voted down will remove the power of the elite to control the lands, waterways, resources, and beaches and receive remuneration from their use. Always read the fine print in a contract before signing.

Albanese's Voice proposal is only the latest manifestation of a push towards a new social order. A blatant attempt by a small group of activists to insert themselves into Australia’s rule book, our Constitution.

Things are going very wrong in Australia.

Dud Dutton, is now saying if the referendum is defeated then a future Noalition government would hold another referendum to give constitutional recognition to Aboriginal people. Then the Noalition would enact legislation giving an Aboriginal Voice to Parliament. Is this bloke now trying to have two bob each way? Can't trust that slippery snake with anything, no matter what he says.

What does the bank of Forum's band of 'Usual Suspects', have to say about that? Agree/Disagree.

Things are going very wrong in Australia?

Well, we now have the opportunity to put things right.
When governments listen to people about issues that
affect them governments make better decisions. They get
better results. And, deliver better value for money.

We need a Voice to Parliament for our First Nations
people because their life expectancy is 8 years shorter than
that of non-indigenous Australians. They have worse rates of
disease and infant mortality. The suicide rate is twice as
high. And, they have fewer opportunities for education and
training, and much more.

Clearly the current approaches are not working.

Josephus,

For your information - the Voice will be a committee of
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who will give
advice to the Parliament and Government on issues that affect their community.

It will include Indigenous Australians from every state and
territory, the Torres Strait Islands and representatives from
the regional and remote communities.

Members of the Voice will be chosen by the First Nations people
in their local area and serve for a fixed period.

You continue to spread falsehoods. Why do you do that?

It's not a good look for a person who professes to be religious.
You're not giving us a good example of your beliefs.

Attaboy WTF, believe what they tell you to believe and ignore your lying eyes. There's the women openly saying that people should read "the whole document that we call the Uluru Statement of the Heart".

There she is saying outright and unambiguously that the entire 26 pages is the Statement from the Heart. But flying-monkeys like WTF just don't want that to be true so the pretend to not hear it.

Quite extraordinary. Quite concerning. But also quite funny.
