There's a lot of talk about a Voice to Parliament. Here's what it is and who's for and against it

We break down everything to do with the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum.
www.abc.net.au www.abc.net.au

Australian's are going to the poll to vote on the addition of an Indigenous Voice, a powerless advisory committee to represent the Indigenous peoples of Australia.

The referendum working group advising the government says the design of the Voice will be guided by the following principles:

  • It will provide independent advice to parliament and government.
  • It will be chosen by First Nations people based on the wishes of local communities.
  • It will be representative of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
  • It will be empowering, community-led, inclusive, respectful, culturally informed and gender balanced. It will also include youth.
  • It will be accountable and transparent.

Essentially, in an effort to address over 200 years of genocide and economic and political repression, Indigenous peoples are being given a powerless bureaucratic body to "advise" the government of the day at a local, state and federal level only about "indigenous affairs", which, surprisingly, doesn't include the land and resources stolen from them.


A better alternative to the Voice is what I like to call the Israeli model, where Indigenous Australians are armed and trained to take their ancestral lands back from later settlers, so as to secure them against the threat of genocide and ongoing repression.
 
I suspect the referendum will fail and be voted against. Most aboriginals understand it is crap and will vote against it.

And aboriginals are nothing like israelies so would be a stupid idea to follow a model they have nothing in common with.

Wouldn´t it be better for Indigenous Australians to have their own MPs that they can vote for as part of a separate constituency?
 
It would be similar to the Sami Parliaments that exists in the northern parts of Finland, Sweden and Norway, that advises the national governments on questions regarding the Sami people as well as rules over matters regarding Sami language and culture. That's what it sounds like. Certainly a step forward. A No vote basically would mean they get nothing.

This could be done by an act of parliament. It is only about a parliamentary committee representing Indigenous Australians. The national referendum was unnecessary but Aboriginal activists made a big deal out of it.

Why should a people with zero historical accomplishments, literally the most primitive civilization to have ever existed, and which had almost no impact on modern Australia, be given any special privilege at all?

Because they at least for now rejected leftist blood libel and rejected the stupid idea that the country needs to apologize for turning Australia into a productive and powerful country

When leftists use terms like “racism” or “settler colonialism” or “de-colonization” what they really mean is genocide against superior civilized peoples

They should get nothing other than the one vote they get for parliament.

They shouldn’t get special privileges. They’re not victims. Their “civilization” was non existent, and most of what they claim is their “tradition” was invented in the 1960s anyway,

If they were actually “superior“ they wouldn’t have gotten their asses kicked by the people they oppressed...as in Vietnam.
