Hi Foxy,

We should not b concerned about the red necks and racists, their hateful opinions are reflected by a very small percentage of the population. They are disproportionately represented on this mainly conservative Forum. The race hate party, One Nation, received about 4% of the national vote at the election.

ttbn, the majority of your ancestors were most likely illiterate. in 1800, 50% of the British population were illiterate. The vast majority of the other 50% had only basic reading and writing skills, such as being able to sign their name.

I have tried to catch up with the opinions here. A bit hard to keep
up as I am still not getting notifications.
The principle of putting up the major clauses and leaving the rest
for later when we think about it worries me.
You must remember politicians are tricky buggres.
I think if they do not set a DNA fraction limit as to what is an aborigine
we will have many like that white woman that pranced around the senate
with her arm in the air waffling about the coloniser Queen.
If there is no sunset clause for this amendment then in a fairly short
time there will be a privileged group of people who all look like us
and have the same culture as the rest of us who have special access
to government. A new Landed Gentry ?

I am concerned they are doing the same with the CO2 emissions legislation.
I want to know how they will enforce the 43%, will there
be a inspector of emissions and police prosecutions if your use of
your car exceed the yearly allowance or petrol rationing ?
Who knows ? Or will we told after the legislation is law ?
Similar principle same trick.

Maverick,

So you think that the Voice won't be worth a
tinker's fart?

Some thought the same about same-sex marriage.
Yet it got through.

Well, there's no rain without thunder.

And, the only history that's worth a tinker's dam
is the history we make today.

Dear Paul,

Some of our posters remind me a bit of kids jumping around
in their rooms dressed in black pajamas pretending to be
ninjas.

They're lost in their self-protective memes and cliches
and diversions. They'll just annoy and bore with their
gaslighting and goal post moving bits of boilerplate
that they've picked up

Dear Paul,

Here's a link that gives a review of the Indigenous Voice
Co-Design Process Final Report to the government.
It's an interesting read:

‘Well, there’s no rain without thunder”

What a ridiculous statement.

Good onya Bazz, Is Mise, mhaze, thinkabit and ttbn.

You're moderate voices in this divisive politicians' and activists' push to massage a Race based change to the Consititution.

Albo's emotive "simple" one question Blaxit Referendum will go sour in its implementation.

People will wonder how a third "body" of Parliament, for one race only, came about. A gift to the LNP, ensuring a one term Labor Government.
