The idea that one Voice can speak for every indigenous and Australian is flawed and fundamentally racist. The Voice will just be more well paid bureaucrats in Canberra that will do little to help Australians in remote communities.

Greens Senator Lidia Thorpe has broken ranks with her colleagues. Again. She’s declared the party won’t support a referendum on the indigenous Voice to Parliament unless the government meets her demands.
I disagree with Lidia Thorpe on a lot of her ideas and conduct, and this latest disagreement shows how ridiculous the proposed Voice to parliament is.
There is no single Voice or opinion for all the indigenous or all Australians. What Torres Strait Islanders need is completely different from what mainlanders need. What people in Cape York need is different from Melbourne and that’s different again from country Tasmania, the Alice, the Pilbara or musgrave park.
Just look at Lidia Thorpe. There’s only a handful of aboriginal greens senators, yet on the Voice they can’t even make their mind up on whether they support or OPPOSE THE VOICE.
The idea of the Voice is that some over-paid bureaucrats sitting in Canberra can speak on behalf of every aboriginal person and that they can’t think or vote for themselves.
There’s nothing more racist than dividing us on race. Vote no to the Voice.
Thank you for the great and much needed work you do
I never thought I would see the day when our govt tried to institutionalise RACISM, but here we are.
This Voice concept is utterly flawed and dangerous. And without any concrete details why would one vote to put it in place.
Who could ever take notice of such a mindless Indivual
Unfortunately, we have other mindless fools out there.
will be voting NO
Malcolm,
Great work once again.
Mate you have to run for Prime Minister, your the only one that covers all ground with sensible ideas and educated reasoning. I know a lot of people that will back you when the time comes. DO IT.
I WOKE up from a bad dream.
Malcolm had become PM
“sensible ideas and educated reasoning”?
Cheers,
Col
PS Correction
Line 2
“your” do you mean “you’re” as in you are?
The greens are another political party that needs to become extinct
Yes Peter Hayes,
ASAP
What concerns me is that the world elites play with us through our governments, medical, financial, environmental etc institutions… but we largely do not recognise that it is a game and it is their game (with a purpose in mind) nor do we know how to play with them at their level. They play at a high strategic level while we are fumbling with separate issues, which pop up one after another like mushrooms after the rain. The elites are highly organised and move towards their goal according to the plan with clearly defined steps, with a strict schedule, KPIs… while we do not recognise the singularity behind the multiplicity of issues, and each time we bark on a particular person who is just a puppet. Even if we destroy hundreds of puppets… the puppeteer is intact and would easily find a replacement for any puppet… and would keep us entertained and entangled with various issues and puppets…. thus weakening our power, slackening our minds and will.
We really have to develop an understanding why our life is run by puppeteers, what our weaknesses and blind spots are and then we will be able to free our life from puppeteers, and will be sovereign and free.
We have to lift our game.
In the Constitution in 1901 the Aborigines got the same rights and responsibilities as normal Australians. They have lapped up their rights and then some. As for responsibilities they are missing. They continue to bash women, neglect children and physically and sexually abuse them. They don’t make their children go to school and then they can’t get a job. A voice is not needed to solve these obvious problems. They should just get on with the job and forget about the well paid racket a voice would be.
All communities are unique with unique needs. Having lived at Cape York, and involved with Napranum Community and having worked at Mt Isa Hospital as a nurse and lived the majority of my life at North Queensland Coast, Whitsundays and Townsville each community are governed by politicians totally out of touch with the reality of the needs of all. Dividing services is dividing the population. “Them and Us” is not helping. Politicians need to really spend time among communities and liaise with Elders and address the concerns and get in touch with the real issues unique to each community,
Even the Premier’s have no idea of what the needs are of the First Nations people I’m their communities. Each Community needs to elect a representative to present their requirements for change and those can be presented to effect change to male lives better in their communities.
We are becoming a divided Country as a divided Country We will fall.
