Fester,

It was the majority who decided for the minority in the
case of our Indigenous people. It was a "them" and "us"
situation all along. The minority was not listened to
and had no say in their own affairs. That is not a
democracy - when total control is only done by one
pair of hands.

Remember that the Indigenous people won't
even counted and had no citizenship rights. They only
got the right to vote quite recently - so what you're
saying is false and it is about time that things did
change and we became one nation - united and not
divided. Let these folk have a seat at the table - and
be listened to. It could result in better policies and
better outcomes. The system needs an overhaul.

The Voice will close the gap,
stop the wife beating and crime,
educate those who don't attend school,
cure cancer and create world peace.

Just give Albozo and his 40 thieves unlimited authority to change the constitution and it'll all be right.

How stupid does Albozo think the voters are.

Foxy is at it again claiming we are NOT One nation, which is a lie. We are one Nation united as equal citizens, which 97% agreed fifty-six years ago. But the Yes camp wants a group of unelected activists who represent 3% of the population to have the rights that no other citizen has, seated in Canberra, because their ancestors were here first. It will not be the disadvantaged uneducated bush camp aboriginals advising government, it will be those educated lawyers, raking in a high salary off taxpayers advising Executive Government, and attending High Court proceedings. They will be setting up two sets of laws and justice, with Koori courts. Wife bashing and child abuse and theft will be excused as it is ancient cultural and will fit in with Islamic culture.

This YES Vote is the best way to divide Australians as "US" and "THEM", which the ABC frequently uses in their Voice report.

Dear Foxy,

Indigenous women have had the right to vote in South Australia since 1856. Most indigenous Australians had the right to vote before the 1967 referendum. The principle of equality drove both decisions.

"It was the majority who decided for the minority in the
case of our Indigenous people. It was a "them" and "us"
situation all along. The minority was not listened to
and had no say in their own affairs."

So your solution to this is to segregate indigenous Australians from the rest of the population and make their own decisions? Why would that work when numerous indigenous organisations over the past half century have done that and failed. Besides satisfying a definition of stupidity, it also excludes 97% of Australia's brainpower for solving problems. It defies the principle of equality.

Albanese should have legislated a Voice so that Australians could see it in action. Instead, he expects Australians to support his "sign now, detail later" referendum. I wont be supporting this racist and divisive nonsense.

Paul1405 & Foxy are a scary indicator of the wider community being as stupid as the Voice activists take them for !

Gentlemen,

I am tired of arguing.

I shall be voting YES in the referendum.

I hope that if you haven't voted yet that you will
at least consult your better angels before you
fill in the form in the ballot box.

History will judge you - and she won't be kind.
