Is the voice going to Actually change anything if it’s all bout giving Indigineous a voice to parliamentary decisions why do we need to spend thousands of tax payers money to do this?
They already can vote and have a day at both local and federal levels. To me I think Albo has picked an issue that he will lose , Australians are getting sick of being told that this isn’t their country .
And ATSIC’s “replacement” the National Indigenous Council was deeply unpopular and went against an inquiry’s reccommendation that the NIC being temporary and be replaced by a new elected body.
Ugh, I don’t know how I feel about this. Sporting bodies always push back when politics tries to get involved in sport, yet they are now launching into a political debate.
I know exactly what I think, and that is it is not their place to get involved in political issues. I also don’t appreciate the PM’s emotional blackmail in his public messaging on this.
Neither do I. And I support Albanese in just about everything else. I don’t even like the tone of the government “informational” ads on the Referendum. They pretty much say you should vote Yes just with the emotional sounding music in the background. And before everyone jumps on me, I haven’t decided which way to vote. But I believe a Referendum should be presented in a purely fact-based manner, and that sporting bodies and corporations shouldn’t push a stance one way or another. It’s a personal choice based on facts presented, just like a general election. I honestly think sporting bodies and corporations who come out and push the Yes vote will actually do the Yes vote harm, rather than good.
