When the whingers run out of things to whinge about, they invent something to whinge about. Now it's the age of the OLO format.

Good to see your post standing out amongst the Left ratbaggery and woke garbage, most of which is obviously copied from some cranks on Google. They don't seem to be very adept with Google, either

The Voice is pure identity politics: nothing to do with helping anyone.

The separatist Left in their hysterical attack on the Nationals are carefully ignoring the fact that the Nationals want to actually help those needing help without Albanese grandstanding and racist apartheid. They want to empower local Indigenous communities at the local level instead of creating another layer of bureaucracy in Canberra.

The 'junior' partner of the clapped out Coalition should be standing candidates in all federal seats at the next election and putting the pathetic Liberals out of their misery.t

ttbn, you are a narky old B, did you acquire your nasty disposition when you turned 100, or have you been that way all your life? I suspect all your life. I never criticise what I get for free, and this forum is free.

BTW Indy, it was the proliferation of Old Farts on the Forum that turns my granddaughter off contributing, the number of negative posters, who never have a positive word to say on anything or anyone. Why get down in that same gutter? It must be terrible to have turned so decrepit in life, with the candle soon to be extinguished, yes life is finite for us all, and see no good in the future for tomorrows generation, only doom and gloom. Its pathetic.

WTF?
Indyvidual states: " 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."

Yet when Indigenous Australians say they want a voice in matters that affect them because the past antics have failed them somehow the paternalistic know-betters see this as a hundred year setback.

I used to think this Helleresque level of absurdity was confined to fiction but it appears here on OLO daily.

WTF? - Not Again,
Unfortunately, there's no other or more polite way to say this but, you are misguided ! When good will heaped upon good will is perpetually condemned as insufficient then is there really another way of expecting things to work out for the better ? I have lived the scenario you think the scenario is. let me tell you in all sincerity, in reality it isn't to how you've been led to believe.
As I stated earlier, it's because of integrity-devoid opportunists on ALL sides !
We have recently had a situation where the indigenous board tried to oust the CEO because the board's demands for more funding to be used on new vehicles was denied. That's a miniature Voice in action !

Which 'indigenous Australians' said they wanted a voice? A lot of them are against it. A lot of them have never heard of it. A lot of them don't understand it.
