Here we all are giving our very different views
on issues that perhaps we wouldn't otherwise
even have considered or thought of earlier.
At least the issues are now out in the open and
being discussed. Perhaps we can all learn something?

I'm happy that this has all come out. That we can now
look at what happens next. And as Banjo Paterson
points out - Miracles can and do happen!"

Certainly mistakes have been made - but it was well worth
a shot. And that's how we learn and grow.

As for Peter Dutton? I don't see his political career
rising to the top job.

Stay positive folks - this is not over. There will be more
to come. Our First Nations people are a resilient mob.

I'm certain that there are even better outcomes ahead.
After all Australians have always got it right in the
end. This will be no exception.

Peter Dutton's record is not a good one as a future
leader of this country.

As Minister for Immigration, for years he ran Australia's
system of off shore detention camps, thereby causing untold
pain and devastation to thousands of innocent people. They
became known as torture camps which included a large
number of suicides and deaths through the lack of proper
medical care.

His reputation took a toll when he walked out on Kevin
Rudd's 2007 Apology to the Stolen Generations. Then his
over all record is not a good one. He made derogatory
remarks about Lebanese people - saying there were too many
of them in this country and that they were terrorists.

His remarks against Africans terrorizing Melburnians were
a complete fabrication as were his bigoted statements
towards refugees being illiterate. He opposed same-sex
marriage and now we have his stance on our First Nations
people.

Not a good record and example - for inclusion and
unification as a leader of an egalitarian nation
proclaiming a Fair Go for all.

The country needs a leader who would unite us all - not a
political stirrer who would divide

Until the renegades stop talking of racial division by 'them' and "us" there will not be any settled Australia. A flourishing society functions as one cooperating family. We need to recognize 1967 made all born in this Country as one and equal. There is No first nation, the 300+ tribes who were here were recognized equally as part of Australia in 1967. They should be treated as full citizens of Australia, not as a separate Nation needing a treaty. They have been incorporated as full citizens, with equal rights and responsibilities as any citizen. We cannot make treaties with ourselves as they are fully incorporated into our society.

The radical left wants to divide Australia and create conflict as to change the Constitution.

One time Labor Senator, Stephen Conroy has labelled the Greens Party as "filth" for accusing Israel of war crimes in Parliament.

ttbn,

Queensland senator Pauline Hanson fought back tears recounting her 2003 jailing over quashed political corruption charges, blaming Tony Abbott and John Howard for a "political witch-hunt" against her. Well, you say we should be voting for Hanson, is she lying in saying Abbott and Howard ran a political witch hunt against her. As for Stephen Conroy, one Labor minister privately described Conroy as being in the wrong party, more right wing than the far right of the Liberal Party. But it takes all kinds, with all sorts of opinions.

BTW, what does Conroy make of the now 1,000 dead Palestinian children at the hands of the Israeli death squads. When you start indiscriminately bombing non-combatant men, women and children, I would call you "filth", just I would call those who butchered innocent Israelis, "filth".

Hi Paul,
I just listened to Hanson giving her 2 cents worth about the Voice and an support for an audit of indigenous spending.

Aussies Voted No! This Is What We Should Do Next.

Peter Dutton fails to find support for audit of government’s Indigenous spending
http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/oct/17/peter-dutton-fails-to-find-support-for-audit-of-governments-indigenous-spending

Personally I think an audit is a practical place to start.
To my line of thinking and I'm not sure I'm correct, but an audit wouldn't just show how much is being spent, but itemise what the money is being spent on.

I think it would be useful information to have if you were to look at where we go from here, that is if we're actually serious about making sure the money is spent on things that produce the best results.

Why is it that Labor is blocking this after it's attempt has failed?
Doesn't it just waste more time to come up with and implement better solutions?
