"These people are asking for what should have been their right
in the first place".
Posted by Foxy,
What are those rights? Right to kill another tribe's member, right to beat your wife, right to have puberty sex. All practiced under tribal law.

Josephus,

The right for self-determination and be consulted on specific
laws that only affect them and their communities.

Josephus,

Good comment, although we mustn't accuse all people identifying as aboriginal of being barbarians, i.e most of them, who live pretty much the same way the rest of us do.

We also mustn't give special 'rights' to anyone which apply to them alone, just because if race or colour - particularly as many, if not most, of the people in question are as much white as they are black.

That is the worst sort of racism, coming from people who are definitely racist, although they are the ones here who call those of us who believe in equal treatment for all Australians, racist. You know which posters I mean.

Proud Boy Jose',

You say; "What are those rights? Right to kill another tribe's member, right to beat your wife, right to have puberty sex. All practiced under tribal law."

What do you base that on, your white bigoted racism, or do you have evidence to back up your claim. Anyone could say that about whites as well.

Constitutional lawyer, David Flint, warns Albanese and other champions of the Voice to Parliament that we already have "not only one of the most perverse and complicated electoral systems, but also one more open to fraud than in any comparable country". With only 32% of the vote, the government has no mandate to hold a referendum on such nonsense.

But years ago opportunist Australian politicians "whittled away at our electoral system": preferential voting in 1918 and compulsory voting in 1924. In 1983, voting was made easier, but "also enabled significantly more fraud".

We are forced to vote for people "we would never have a bar of", and there is the requirement for people totally disinterested in elections to turn up at the polling booth to cast "ill-considered" votes.

If we went back to the less-complicated and easily understood first-past-the-post system, the Coalition would have won 77 seats. Independents 3 and the Greens, Centre Alliance, Katter Australia Party 1 each plus the member for Warringah.

Opportunities for fraud were increased and more enabled in 1983, all under the cover of ‘making it easier to vote, even though nobody claimed it was hard to vote. Methods of fraud, and the Leftist resistance to tackling the problem have been described many times

Meanwhile, unreported by a media keener to promote the Voice, the remote Wadeye community has been in a state resembling civil war. What was once the peaceful town of Port Keats has seen more than a hundred homes torched, families driven into the bush and, just recently, bows and arrows figuring in the fighting.
