In less than 24 hours of declaring it was a unanimous decision to oppose an "Aboriginal Voice To Parliament" the cow cocky party has broken ranks. Federal MP Andrew Gee says he will support the ‘yes’ campaign for an Aboriginal voice to parliament, while the WA branch also states it will back Indigenous recognition in the Constitution. For some reactionaries within the National Party, any kind of recognition of Aboriginal people is a bridge too far, after all it was only a century or so ago that their ancestors in the Country Party were out shooting Aboriginals, they certainly weren't listening to them then, so nothing has changed for this lot.

Lets now see where the man of very few words Peter Dutton goes on the "Voice", could see the Liberals split worse than the Nationals

In theory the Voice would be a good thing however, past antics have proven beyond doubt that in practise it would be an unaffordable economic & social mess plagued by integrity-devoid opportunists on both sides.
It would set Indigenous/non indigenous society back a hundred years with a civil war as the only possible outcome ! Why ? Well, I just gauge it by looking at the people supporting it !

Dear Paul,

It will be up to the Australian voters to decide where
they stand on the Voice to Parliament. So far the indications
are good and that the Bill will pass because most Australians
do feel that what is being asked is not all that complicated.
It won't be a "Third Chamber," as some misinformed people
claim. It will simply be an advisory body on laws that affect
them. Which is not asking for very much.

The Coalition needs to learn a lesson from the recent
federal and state elections - and listen to the Australian
voters. To ignore the messages being sent is to do so at
their own political peril.

Most Australians will pass the Voice to Parliament.
That's what matters. As it did with same-sex marriage.
With the IR reforms, and with the election of a Labor
PM and a Labor state Premier in Victoria. Politics in
Australia has changed. We're not in the 1950s anymore!

OMG, the Nations aren't unanimous in their position. How can anyone support a party where all the members don't sycophantically agree with whatever the party leadership says. Any party where the members think for themselves surely can't be trusted. </sarc>

BTW, it turns out that the main National spokesperson for the 'No' case in the Voice debate is aboriginal. Shhhhhh, don't tell anyone and they might not notice.

I have little interest in this topic until the government clearly states the changes it wants.
I want to do whats best for Indigenous Australians, but more importantly I also have to consider whats best for the whole country.
I won't be entertaining the idea of supporting anything until the government can clearly state it's change of policies.

Dear government, please to not waste money or paper printing bs meant to manipulate my emotions.
Just give me the facts and the fine print, and I will make an informed decision based on that info.

If I'm unable to make an informed decision, then I'm also unable to give my support to your changes.
- I'm sure plenty of other stupid Aussies will be fooled into supporting these changes without ever being given the facts.
- This, in my opinion will be a real test of how stupid the people in this country really are;
If they're willing to sign on the dotted line without first being given an opportunity, or even wanting to read the fine print before making a decision;
- and are too dumb to even acknowledge their imprudent foolishness.

I guess we'll see soon enough.
If I see a large majority of people making a decision without being privvy to the facts, I'm going to conclude that the whole country is made up of people who are as dumb as a box of rocks, and that there is little hope for them or this country.
