All these white people claiming aboriginal status just goes to show the eugenics crowd had far more success in breeding the black out of the indigenous than is commonly recognised.

I hate saying that, (sorry if anyone's offended, if so it's not my intention) but it sure does makes me wonder...

Seems a lot of indigenous people these days are as fair-skinned as Migaloo...

"If a vote is required to get on the Voice thing, how long before
one candidate challenges another on whether he is an aborigine ?
Gravy trains run often !"

- Fair point, and it will be interesting.

"1. To have the voice of First Nations enshrined in the constitution

Despite an expansive range of perspectives and demands coming from First Peoples during the National Constitutional Convention, attendees unanimously expressed the need for meaningful engagement with government. What this would look like is still unknown. Much like a Makarrata, further consultation with First Peoples across the country is necessary."

Asking Aussies to support a change to the constitution that can not be reversed without getting to read the fine print first, is like committing to buy a used car off the lot without discussing the price, mileage and service history first.

I think the government knows if it plays to peoples emotions the referendum will likely pass.

I'm fairly certain I will vote NO, unless they release full details of the plan first.
I can't be expected to support a change of this magnitude without first being able to look through all the details of the plan prior to making a decision.
I can't be expected to vote 'Yes' without looking through all the proposed details.

Also, once they have this, will they demand reparations?
