Hi Foxy,
"It's disgraceful that there is so much misinformation and falsehoods being published and then being spread." - Don't blame humans for doing what humans do. It's like blaming an young untrained puppy for peeing on the floor. - A puppy's going to do what a puppy does. The responsibility stops with the government, they chose to embark on this divisive venture. The '7 P's' come to mind. - 'Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.' Don't blame people for something the government is responsible for. What sort of fool expects someone to sign a contract; - without finding out what's in the contract until after it's been signed? This is essentially what the government is asking us to do. Albo insults our intelligence and divided the nation just by asking us to choose.

Here we are - it won't be long before it will all
be over on the Voice to Parliament proposal - which will show everyone the Australian character. Yet the zone is being flooded with misinformation, disinformation, and out right lies. As millions of Australians are trying to decide and are giving their attention to the referendum much of what they are seeing and hearing has nothing to do with the question they are going to be asked when they vote. What they are being asked is to amend the Constitution to allow the creation of an Indigenous advisory body to Parliament. That body, the Voice may give advice. The government is under no obligation to act on that advice. The advice will not interfere with parliamentary processes or clog up the courts. The advice will be about matters directly affecting First Nations communities. The parliament including Peter Dutton, Jacinta Price, and all the opposition members now andinto the future will design the Voice, including its composition, functions, powers, and procedures. That's it. That is what we are being asked to say yes or no to. The Voice will not over-ride Parliament. It cannot. It will not give advice on link roads, defence spending, tax policy,. It will not abolish Anzac Day. It will not cause people to lose their properties or backyards. It will not take away anyone's home. It will not force Australians to pay reparations. It is not a communist plot. It will not take away our national parks or beaches or cemeteries. It will not result in Aboriginal people getting free home loans or cars or university degrees. There's much more at the following: http://theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/sep/13/indigenous-voice-to-parliament-referendum-fact-check-yes-campaign-no-campaign Posted by Foxy, Wednesday, 4 October 2023 6:35:45 PM

And it will not divide us. It will unite us by us
finally recognising the unique status of our First Nations People. By finally including them in our Constitution and allowing them to be heard on matters that affect their communities. A small request is being asked. And so much dust and noise is being created by people with their own personal agendas - giving the rest of us a bad name and eroding the foundations of our democracy. But I still have hope in my heart that the majority of Australian voters will do the right thing - then the minority won't really matter at all. Posted by Foxy, Wednesday, 4 October 2023 6:44:14 PM

What you just said there Foxy is a contradiction.
You're showing that you are holding 2 opposing arguments at the same time. Firstly you state : "And it will not divide us." Then you state : "But I still have hope in my heart that the majority of Australian voters will do the right thing - then the minority won't really matter at all." "But I still have hope in my heart that the majority of Australian voters will do the right thing" If you think that people who don't vote yes are doing the [emphasis] 'wrong' thing - then you are not recognising the country is ALREADY divided on this issue. If you think the minorities opinion wont matter - then you are not recognising the country is ALREADY divided on this issue. Maybe very soon you might find out that YOU are the minority - And that your opinion doesn't really matter at all either. Posted by Armchair Critic, Wednesday, 4 October 2023 6:54:21 PM

That's easy Steele, the Grand Wizard at Jose's local KKK chapter told Proud Boy what to write, sorry Proud Boy is the Grand Wizard of his local Klan chapter. So silly of me! Jose' always posts only what fits his narrative. Leave a word out here, a sentence there, a whole paragraph if need be. Its all good, as long as it buckets on Aboriginal.
