shadowminister,

Yes they want a say. That's what an advisory body does.
However they won't have the power to legislate. That power
will solely up to the government. I might ask you the same
questions regarding your own mental capabilities Sir.

Hi Foxy,

A white supremacist like SM is incapable of accepting the notion that Aboriginal Australians should have a voice in their own affairs. Its obvious the guy is a racists, and sees nothing worthwhile in this proposal, lacking any sort of empathy for 'Black Australia' he will continue to argue in the negative, even if he has to resort to lies and deceptions to do so, something which he is very good at.

White supremacists. Racists. The favourite terms of abuse used by totalitarian trash.

The people who use the abusive descriptions are too stupid to think that there could be any other reason for a person to be against the Voice and changes to our constitution. It doesn't even occur to them. They just want to bully and silence.

There are people who actually care what names these trash call them. Decent people, totally unlike the trash, too polite to call them out. They might even be intimidated by the trash.

Fortunately, we have secret voting, and the trash cannot do a damn thing about the way voters mark their ballot papers. And, OLO posters are not typical of the general population. Whatever the result is, it will have nothing to do with the trash, totalitarians, bullies, and ignorant arseholes.

Foxy,

An advisory body does not require consultation at every level of the development of legislation.

As virtually every legislation has some impact on indigenous people this would require indigenous input into every piece of legislation from concept to implementation.

This is not advice it is co-governance where 2% of the population has near veto status.

Secondly, the No of indigenous MPs is already in a greater ratio than the indigenous population.

Finally, the "indigenous representatives" that crafted the Uluru statement were self-appointed and unelected activists.

As for the village idiot, this fwit happily plays the race card when he can't put together a rational argument.

ttbn,

Like SM you exude racism with every sentence you write on this subject. Not all racists are haters, in the past many well intentioned people have tried to solve a perceived "Aboriginal problem" with misguided acts of paternalism, that in itself is racists and wrong, or at the very least misguided. Some are attacking the proposal of a "Voice" from a purely hateful racists positions, others do have genuine concerns, but seem to resort to miss-truths and wild unsubstantiated claims to make their argument. Are they simply misguided, or are they trying to muddy the waters to drive the debate and general opinion in their direction.

One can easily tell a racist, they're the ones who perpetually attempt to portray themselves as victims of the mentality they themselves are pushing at the slightest opportunity !
