The Left in general are obsessed with race and identity politics. The constant branding of other people as racists is merely them projecting their own condition and revolting attitudes.

shadowminister,

Perhaps we should all read the co-design committee's
report to get a clearer vision of how the advisory
body will function instead of taking in all the
misinformation and name-calling being currently
bandied about?

I am for the Voice to Parliament. I think it's way
past due. What we've tried in the past has not
worked. I say - give this a chance especially because
it just may succeed and lead to self-determination
of our Indigenous people - which I am sure all of us
want - for them to take responsibility and not be
dependent - and have decisions to continue to be
made for them.

Foxy,
Self-determination is the last thing we want for minorities within our society.
If it is granted to one group, based on ‘race’ then, in all fairness, it should be available to other ‘racial’ groups.

All this argument is irrelevant unless one fundamental question is
settled in the constitution itself;

What is an aborigine ?

It can't be left to legislation by politicians, it must be the first
clause in the amendment.
Unless it is in the constitution it will change with the weather.
As we are all aware there are many "white" aborigines.
In 200 years there will be many more.
They will be indistinguishable from the rest of us.
They will be a group of privileged people with the right to make
special demands of the politicians.
Perhaps we could call the Voice the House of Lords.

There are many, many organisations which all claim they are doing a great job on indigenous matters. The government has poured billions into helping remote disadvantaged Aboriginal communities. Will all this cease with the introduction of the Voice? Will all the quangos give up all that money and all those cushy sinecures? Highly unlikely. Nobody has even mentioned their existence.

Can anyone tell me; Since 1788 what was a good year for Aboriginal people and why? You've got 234 to choose from, it should be an easy question.
