Josephus,

The Voice is not in breach of international human rights
standards. In fact the Voice is supported
under international human rights law as it
recognises Indigenous Peoples rights to
political representation and is consistent with the UN Declaration
on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Foxy, according to human rights lawyers, it violates these principles. The Yes camp constantly claims it does not identify a race of people, which is to avoid violating the UN human Charter. DOES THE VOICE IDENTIFY RACE? Noel Pearson says it is not about race, merely to confuse and sidestep the issue.

The ‘Voice’ sits in direct contradiction to both these Articles.

The Voice imposes a hierarchy of origin or descent on Australians, giving some more rights than others on that basis.

History shows us that this is a dangerous path down which to tread.

Josephus,

Can you please tell us why you earlier chose to omit the line “It didn’t get across the fact that only a really small chunk of the overall Indigenous spending is on Indigenous-specific programs. Most is on mainstream programs.” from the middle of earlier your quote?

Could you also tell us why you chose to delete the words: “Noongar had agreed to surrender native title in the claim areas in exchange for a comprehensive set of benefits including the following and more:" from the start of your other quote?

Both entirely change the context of the quotes and for you to have excluded them was entirely duplicious.

Why are you doing it with such monotonous regularity?

Where I live, we'll probably need indigenous permission to visit the local parks and cemetery before long.
I have no idea what is going to happen.
Let that sink in.

Native title claim over Redlands coast near Brisbane casts doubt on ownership of urban public spaces and amenities across Australia
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12490441/Native-Title-Redland-Brisbane.html

"Australia's first major native title claim of a large urban area is clouding the future of popular scenic areas, parks, playgrounds, cemeteries and even council buildings.

The claim could infer native title rights on approximately 3,500 council-owned or managed properties in the Redlands coastal area south east of Brisbane, which is home to 165,000 people."

The wording of the proposed constitutional change does
not mention land, property or native title but rather
would establish an advisory body called the Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander's Voice.
