Foxy,
I hope your brother makes it, I’m sure the prayers or well wishes of the OLOeans are with you.

Foxy,

I can see a poorly defined attempt at virtue signalling that can give us a constitutionally guaranteed 3rd parliamentary house to another version of ATSIC.

Your justification is a series of links to self-interested parties.

I hope that Albozo can do better.

Is Mise,

Thank You for your kind words.

Now back to the topic.

Many factors have for a very long time fuelled the anti-Voice
sentiments in this country - including political. This time
we're being given a chance to right that wrong. Whether we take
this opportunity up or not - is up to us.

Personally I want to take up the invitation to establish a
new relationship with our First Nations people. I want to take
a hand that's outstretched from people who are simply asking
to be heard. I believe that this is an opportunity for real
change and I certainly don't want to block that opportunity.
for people who have joined together and worked so hard in
a consultative way to get to this point in time.

In any case - here's the model that is being presented:

It's up to each of us to decide how we're going to vote.

I have nothing further to add.

Hi Foxy,

Best wishes for your brother, be positive, all will be well, doctors today are very good, they will do their expertly best for him, I'm sure of that.

Hi Paul,

Thank you. The poor bloke's already been through a
great deal. He's had heart surgery. And now has a
touch of dementia. (He's very confused). They were
supposed to be coming down to Melbourne for Christmas.
It's not looking good at present.

I like the idea of local and regional voices, this could be extended to groups in the wider community.
For example, sports car owners, vintage and veteran car owners, canoeists, hikers, yacht owners, bushwalkers etc., all are often affected by changes in laws and regulations and often their concerns fall on deaf ears

Multiple Voices are what we need.
