The Voice is a trap which, if successful, will divide Australians by race and culture more than ever.

Our lunatic-left PM called Australia a "racist hell". How absurd! What lunacy! We spend $30 billion a year on 3% of the population; yet we are "denying them the right to a 'happy and fulfilling' life", according to the appalling Albanese.

Aboriginal Australians take part in every aspect of Australian life that they choose to; 11 of them are in the Australian Parliament.

There are 70 taxpayer organisations devoted to aboriginal concerns.

The pushers of this racist Voice do not want to advise: they want power that is not available to any other group in the country. And, with the help of the architect of shameful apartheid, Anthony Albanese, they will get it - unless we vote NO.

Your tears are delicious. Your racist world is dying. Your nonsense is irrelevant. We all see through it.

Labor are not left wing, they only seem left wing to fascists.

They already have a Voice, through elected members of Parliament.

Will my relations who have one great-great-grandmother who was Aboriginal be entitled to be chosen/elected as the Voice.
They certainly don’t consider themselves to be Aboriginal, they’re predominantly European and have no desire to be anything else.

The voice proposal is pure racism.

Good to see Lidia Thorpe telling it like it is while taking the oath of office in the Parliament, saying; "the colonising her majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second". She received unexpected support from the Minister for the Republic, Labor's Matt Thistlethwaite who sees swearing allegiance to a foreign monarch as an anachronism in modern Australia, don't 99% of us see it that way. Of course this will once more upset the old fuddy-duddies of yesteryear, the old white conservative Anglo males, members of the 1901 club, the half a percent mob. We need to jettison these old worn out vestiges of a colonial past, and move on.

Dear Paul,

Australia is a complicated country. For some people
there are many allegiances to England. It is also
strongly influenced by America. There are many who fear
that we shall become a colony of America just like the Uk.
Look at the wholesale import of American trends and
culture, most particularly on our TV. It would be great
to see more Australian content.

Australia is a country that of course can be improved.
It has been. Our Pm is trying to do just that. To
improve the troubled relationship between white Australians
and First Nations people. One only has to look at the rise
of the extreme right-wing and white supremism to realise
that things need to change. The results of our last election
should show us all that Australians are not happy with
continuing to live in the past. That change has to happen.

Australia is a country that can be improved. Unlike the UK
is still has energy - it can go down a different path.

A successful referendum is one that indicates the will of the voters, the only way a referendum could be said to have been unsuccessful is for the vote to be tied.

Referendums are neither won nor lost, they are a device for finding the will of the voters on a subject.
