Past-his-useby-date Ray Martin has doubled down on his insults to NO voters. A photograph of this peanut holding a glass of plonk and smirking about his idiotic remarks leads to the question: how much is he affected by alcohol.

Anyone who is OK presenting themselves to the public as a boozer is suspect. Alcohol his a dangerous drug that affects the mind. It is certainly affecting aboriginal communities, and very possibly the likes of Ray Martin and the simpering set. Never trust a drinker.

Remember when voting was more of a personal thing, and you didn't really discuss to much with others who you would vote for, and everyone just respected each others right to their own choice...

Indy,

Your above post is YOU! Why do others have to support YOU with aged welfare? What efforts did YOU make to support yourself in old age, nothing? Its easy to sit in the peanut gallery and point the finger. Why be so hypocritical, you offer no solutions to problems, more of the same, just like so many old blokes on here you are full of negativity. You enjoy the luxury of it not effecting YOU! I will not be overly concerned if the referendum gets shot down, but those leaders that are contributing to its demise better have ideas to improve the situation, not just more of the same. I don't hear the likes of Dutton offering alternate solutions to the problems, just more of the same.

Paul1405,
What makes you think it's ok for you to be supported but not others ? Going by your posts & your mentality it seems highly probable that you're being kept as a token bureaudroid & don't actually do anything useful in return. Old age pensioners have contributed whereas you appear to just hold out yours whilst biting the hand that feeds you.

Does anyone know how much of the mining royalties paid for Aborigines actually goes to their communities & how much to their activists ?

I remember. Unfortunately those days are long gone; although, nobody needs to reveal how they vote or what they think about anything. Even now, I don't discuss politics, in person, with anyone outside my family. That's the beauty of OLO. It's a relief valve, and you can ignore anyone you disagree with.
