A lot of them?

The evidence says the opposite:

Voice for Indigenous people?
What about the whole planet?

I question whether the future Klaus Schwab wants is the future we all want.
And who voted him in anyway...

WTF?

Indyvidual: "the indigenous board tried to oust the CEO".
Which Indigenous board is "the" Indigenous board that you are referencing?

ttbn would have us believe that " A lot of them are against it. A lot of them have never heard of it."

This is just a sad straw-grasping attempt to appear authoritative. A dismal failure - in past discussions many have provided the sources that discredit this notion. I really do not know who you could possibly expect to believe this.

Indigenous people need a voice. It is clear that the institutions and structural organisation within these organisations set up to advance Indigenous Australians have failed. Indigenous Australians did not set up these institutions Governments did.

It is quite clear that Indigenous Australians have had enough and want their own voice.

Taken from the link I gave:

"A Voice to Parliament will give Indigenous communities
a route to help inform policy and legal decisions that
impact their lives. Giving people a say will lead to
more effective results."

"Embedding a Voice in the Constitution would finally
recognize the special place of Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander people in Australia's history, but even more
importantly it would also mean that it can't be shut down
by successive governments."

We need a Referendum. " This is a bit like an election, but
instead of voting for people to be Members of Parliament -
Australians will be asked a simple question - like the one
proposed by the PM -"

"Do you support an alteration to the Constitution that
establishes an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
Voice?"

With a YES or a NO.

There has been so much work that has already been done.
"The Voice was proposed in the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
It was presented to the First Nations National Constitutional
Convention, held over four days near Uluru in Central
Australia."

"The 259 member Convention was held after the 16 Member
Referendum Council had travelled around the country and met
with over 1,200 people."

"In the 5 years since the release of the Uluru Statement from
the Heart, a Joint Select Committee has considered the proposal.
An Indigenous Voice Co-Design process outlined in full detail
all the options of how a Voice could work."

"The Australian Reconciliation Barometer in their 2 yearly
survey on attitudes to Reconciliation showed 95% of Australians
believe it is important for Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander people to have a say in matters that affect them."

"The surveys showed that 81% of Australians also believe it is
important to protect an Indigenous body within the Constitution
so any government can't remove it."

"Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should not be a
political football tossed between successive governments."

Hi Paul,

Some more good news:

Our PM tells us that he has personally advocated for
Julian Assange's release to the US government and has
urged it to drop its legal pursuit of the WikiLeaks
co-founder.

You with the foul-mouthed pseudonym,

It's not what I would have anyone believe - it's fact. You obviously don't read or listen to anything that you don't want to know; so there is no way that I would "possibly expect to believe this".

Perhaps you could reveal the "past discussions many have provided the sources that discredit this notion".

Do you seriously think "indigenous Australians" are going to 'set up' this racist nonsense, you poor fool? The architect of the Voice is the race-obsessed, divisive Anthony Albanese.

You are all ideology and no brains, sport.

You are just like the knucklehead who thinks Reconciliation Australia is an unbiased organisation.
