There are also those rare Europeans, without a drop of Aboriginal blood, who have been accepted into a tribe as full members and are thus Aboriginal.
I personally knew only one such person, and he has passed on, but he never traded on the honour that was done to him, but there exists an area for possible exploitation by the unscrupulous.

The design and details of the Voice will be determined
by parliament.

73% of Australians agree the Constitution should be
amended to establish a Voice to parliament.

It's a simple request that Indigenous people should have
a say in the law and policies that affect their lives and
communities.

To date the decision making has been primarily done by
non-Indigenous people making decisions about their lives.
People who have never visited their communities and
about people they do not know. That's why so many
Indigenous communities are not flourishing. This is why
so many Indigenous people are struggling.

Nothing has worked in the past. Why not give them the
self-determination that they are asking?

It is long overdue.

And the fact that there may or may not be some people
misusing the system? Good God - our entire history is
based on some people doing just that - including many in
positions of power. But that hasn't stopped anyone -
has it? And look at how many politicians are against an
anti-corruption commission! I wonder why?

Pot-kettle4-black!

What lame excuses.

Pathetic.

Australians should vote no, and start taking more notice of things important to all of us: like a new Bill, that could be introduced when Parliament eventually (!) sits again, that sounds awfully like the Communist China 'social credit' travesty. Already it is being said that "it won't be compulsory". But we heard the same thing about vaccines before people lost their jobs and were publicly shamed for believing Morrison’s big fat lie.

The fools in favour of this racist, group identity Voice don't see that (in particular) the ALP Socialist regime wants to separate us, as all totalitarians do, and keep us occupied with out own group's affairs while they root us all, en masse.

SA (aboriginal) Senator Kerrynne Liddle, has joined Senator Jacinta Price in questioning Albanese’s rush to the Voice referendum. As hero of the Left, Paul Keating, used to say, 'If you don’t understand it, don't vote for it'. And nobody understands the Voice because there are no details to understand. There are no details because the proponents, including the Socialist Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, don’t want you to know the details: they will be worked out AFTER the fools have voted for it. How's that for open government and democracy!

All Australians should be equal as far as Parliamentary representation, to have a particular voice for a minority group, based on their race is RACIST in the extreme and has no place in a democracy.

Rachel Perkins says that an Indigenous Voice to parliament
is about fairness and she rejects the claim that it would
result in divisiveness.
