"It was good to remove White Australia race based laws but are Black Australia race based laws a good idea?

When "BLAXIT" turns sour Albo's Labor will have done enough damage to be rightly voted out next Election."

Boomer tears are delicious.

The stolen generation happened in my lifetime and well within yours.

WTF?

Details - what details?

There seems to be a degree of ignorance about the proposed Indigenous Voice.

The National Indigenous Australians Agency has published a 270 page document outlining how this process could take place.

Maybe read that before commenting.

"The National Indigenous Australians Agency has published a 270 page document outlining how this process could take place."

Operative word "could".

Read the report and it is a series of possible structures as to how the Voice (megaphone) COULD work.

Before voting we need answer as to how it WILL work. That the proposers of the Voice are trying/will try very hard to hide the actual working of the extra-Parliamentary body should set off alarm signals to those who are interested in things other than virtue signalling.

Let's be frank, boomers will cry whatever we do with first Australians that does not involve enslaving them

It will be a voice. It will have no real power. As a result, the details are free to evolve because they won't change anything in terms of the balance of power.

WTF?

The Joint Select Committee on Constitutional Recognition relating to
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples also makes for interesting reading.

Operative phrase "Joint Select Committee".

Quote:"The members of The Voice should be chosen by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, rather than appointed by government."

After over 200 years of colonisation alt-right nutters still do not want Indigenous Australians choosing their own representatives.

Quote: "The Voice at the local, regional, and national level should:
• be used by state, territory and local governments as well as the federal government;
• provide oversight, advice and plans but not necessarily administer programs or money; and
• provide a forum for people to bring ideas or problems to government and government should be able to use the voices to road test and evaluate policy. This process should work as a dialogue where the appropriateness of policy and its possible need for change should be negotiable."

So once again alt-right crazies have their knickers in a knot because Indigenous Australians want to provide advice about the legislation that directly effects them.

I agree that some people before posting here need to
get their facts straight.

This would be a good place to start:
