Only 8.7% of aborigine-identifying South Australians turned out to vote in the first Voice election.

Some candidates were elected with 6 votes. Three candidates received 0 votes. They didn't bother to vote for themselves!

Naturally an anti-aboriginal Hansonite will always be looking for some negative aspect to throw at Aboriginal people, here he believes is another opportunity. The fact is the non-compulsory vote was a success, with more candidates nominating than required to be elected (7 for each of 5 regions and 11 for Central Region ). In the numerically large Central Region 41 candidates put their name forward for the 11 positions. Yes some candidates did score a low vote, equalling the Hansonite One Nation vote in some compulsory elections.

More twisting of the truth, you moron.

Of course plenty of people wanting to get there noses in the trough nominated. The miserable 8.7% of people who voted for them is the big story.

Aboriginal people themselves are not interested in this racist nonsense. They are probably sick of being lumped in together as a group instead of being treated as individuals like other people.


Identity politics and extreme racism is the hallmark of the ALP these days. Given privileges to minorities is pure Maoism.

ttbn,

Continuing with your name calling, elsewhere you refer to me as a moron, but as you are of the "right breed" this forum will allow that. Yes, like many, Aboriginals are not interested in politics. concerned with the day to day personal issues affecting their lives. I agree with the concept, maybe you don't, but that's how it is. BTW; most clubs would be over the Moon if 8% of members turned up to the AGM and voted, even with free beer!

A ringing endorsement for the whole concept of The Voice.

I'm sure the whole of SA are anxiously waiting to here the ancient wisdom of the aboriginal community which will no be revealed!! All problems are now solved.

Its just a shame that only one in twelve of our aboriginal betters saw fit to share their obvious superior knowledge with the world. How will we survive?

What a shambles. But the usual suspects will spin it and the anxiously gullible will buy the spin.

mhaze,

"waiting to here the ancient wisdom", if that ancient wisdom doesn't arrive on time, may be we can HEAR it from afar. Like ttbn, this guys another stone thrower. When you make a mistake like HERE for HEAR, cop it sweet my little darling.
