Maybe the Voice is the latest chapter of themandusism? If so it should be welcomed and embraced as warmly as heritage based collective guilt orvictim good. It will go smashingly with acknowledgement of/welcome to country and the little kiddies making their cards. I think that a few more people need to follow Eliza Doolittle's emancipation.

Dr Tim Soutphommasane, former Race Discrimination
Commissioner, 2013 - 2018, wrote that:

"Fear and anxiety, envy and resentment, ignorance
and arrogance, these are some of the psychological
roots of racism. They share one thing in common.
They all involve, to varying degrees, a withholding
of sympathy and compassion from those who are subject
to racist behaviour."

He tells us that:

"In this country we should be asking the right questions -
not whether "Do we have the right to be bigots?"

But rather:

"What kind of society do we want Australia to be?"

Foxy,
I can only speak for myself but preferably a society without hypocrites & ignoramuses & opportunists like yourself, Paul1405 et al !
You people are what's wrong with modern society ! We'd be better off if you all just formed your own community isolated from decent people & dependent on your merit !

I've lived in an aboriginal community in an endeavour to assist them to reach their personal best by entering our society and becoming an equal such as Jacinta Price, as I knew the Price family while in The Alice. Those that wish to live as equals we get on very well, those that wish to live in the bush and practice culture it is harder to identify as wanting equality.

Individual,

My Australia is a society where moral values such as
fairness, justice, truthfullness and compassion are
important to most people. You are morally confused and
blinded by a false sense of tolerance - which of course
means that your version of society and Australia is as
well.

There's no point in any further discussion with you.
We live in different worlds and certainly hold different
assumptions about decency, right and wrong, good and evil.

BTW: I have always worked hard, and achieved everything
on merit. Can you say the same?

The question of just whose 'voice' is behind the race-based referendum has been raised again today. Two women, Megan Davis and Pat Anderson are identified as "co-authors and rewrite specialists".

It's not Albanese's voice - he doesn't read anything, or listen to anything, as his denials of treaties and reparations clearly show.

Ex-MP and referendum committee member, Amanda Vanstone, believes there were no indigenous voices behind the referendum - the whole thing was "sold to them"; with what inducements or threats, one wonders.

You won't hear in the MSM aborigines saying that their voices haven't been sought, and that they have not heard about the Voice or, if they have heard about, they are not interested enough to comment.

This awful thing, the Voice, must go down in flames.
