Jacinta Price: The Voice and Victimhood

[@Coops777]

Jacinta is one of the most decent, clear thinking, kind hearted and fearless politicians I have ever seen. I have so much respect for her. I hope she becomes prime minister one day.

[@Angela-eq8kw]

She’s got my vote

[@Nundahmusic]

She is a contradiction. She claims to be “indiginous” but then says first nations people shouldn’t be “lumped together” or given special funding yet she accepted the title of shadow minister for “indiginous affairs.” You can’t have both.

[@Coops777]

@Nundahmusic You raise a good point and one that Jacinta was asked at the Press Club meeting. If I understood correctly, she responded that she would rather not be in this position but the gap (especially in remote communities) is a reason to pursue it until there is no longer a need for the portfolio. In other words, she agreed

Jacinta and her family have not lived it. To have live it you need to have been an aboriginal born early in the 20th century. Then you did not count, had no rights were unable to vote, mostly lived in creek beds on the outskirts of towns, were arrested on suspicion if you were driving a car or drank alcohol. Had no welfare, and often worked for tea and flour. Kangaroo was your staple diet, and you would be grievously punished if you killed a sheep.@davidhodder4479

Jacinta excites her supporters with a lot of banket statements with zero solutions and loves to assign blame. She is on the Rupert Murdoch payroll and loves licking his boots.

Young Aboriginal people desperately need to be inspired with confidence, self-respect & given hope for a future. They need a chance to throw off the old school cloak of victimhood, grievance, disempowerment & marginalisation, which this exclusive race-based & divisive aboriginal only ‘Voice’ in Parliament will surely perpetuate. We all should be treated equally as a people, not as different races.

[@jake.e.wanabee5333]

Agreed, there are countless professional graduate jobs and UNI positions given on skin color, not on talent or ATAR or your GPA, or if you can accomplish the course, apprenticeship, or degree. That in itself is racist. We are one people, regardless of skin color. If you are intelligent enough to become an engineer, doctor etc., there should not be racially based preference given to those who are not intelligent enough to complete the degree, apprenticeship. To push through an indigenous applicant based on skin color and heritage and not on the grades which actually deem if you are intellectually and capable of successfully completing the required curriculum, is setting society up for failure. If you have an awesome ATAR, and you are indigenous, go for it. If you are a below par graduate, and you take someone else's graduate job because of your skin color, that is BS and racist. Please stop the Indigenous Identified roles for completed tertiary education applicants and please, base it on GPA and experience. Albo is doing more harm than good.

[@pebblepod30]

Also note that people addicted to power use & perpetuate those self destructive attitudes to seek unequal racist power.

Albo had a misinformed belief that ALL aboriginals in Australia would vote yes, but he is finding the reverse. He doth presume too much. He didn't give them any credit for informed independent thought.

[@steventapp1375]

As an aboriginal man I’ve spoken to many relatives about this and there aren’t many solid YES’s. There’s “this is ATSIC 2.0”, “this is the white fella way not our way”, “I don’t understand what this is” and “couldn’t give a f@(&.” These self elected indigenous leaders have bypassed the first step, which is unite us. They believe that because they are educated they can speak for all of us.

[@Caitness1]

Jacinta's advice to young Australians is rock solid, grounded in first hand experience as an Australian of Aboriginal and white heritage. She values both her parents and has learned a lot. To me her commonsense ideas on ways forward for marginalized Aboriginals sound much more effective than the voice proposal and a whole lot safer and more unifying for all Australians.

[@oldgolfer7435]

More of the same does not seem a reasonable solution to close the gap that is so obvious. Price has become a darling of the right, including Andrew Bolt, because she tells them what they want to hear to appease a residue of guilt, still apparent in the wider population, in the hope that somehow the Coalition has the answers, which it obviously has not. Had "The voice" been legislated before 1967 it may have advised the government of the day that to allow unrestricted access to alcohol would be like leaving candy in front of an infant and telling them not to eat it. Liquor outlets thrived but aboriginal housing, education, employment opportunities and poor health remained the same. What as undisputedly the outcome was the necessity to vastly increase police strength in towns and communities, aboriginal female assaults and abuse and the phenomena of deaths in custody. There is no quick fix, and Price outlining urgent needs, and going against the voice seems disingenuous, but then she is committed to the Coalition which for the past 50 years or so has achieved little.

With even the privileged in a shaky position of being able to afford cost of living. If people are marginalised that can make things a bit harder.

Thank you Jacinta🥰 you are a true Australian supporting all Australians no matter what their heritage. Yes23 Voice to Parliament, is what happens when the demand for racism, outpaces the supply of racism. While the Yes vote is collapsing, the question should be asked: how the hell did something so absurd ever gain this level of traction in the first place? Honestly embracing a group's cultural ancestry to such an aggressive degree, and using this cultural ancestry as an excuse, is clearly pretty racist. Equally blaming some other culture, and those belonging to this differing cultural ancestry is clearly and unquestionably racist. Equality, egalitarianism, fairness, justness, and equitability are non-discriminatory, evenhanded, and unprejudiced. The opinion that the colour of your skin, or the antecedents of an individual are the defining factors is narrow-minded, backwards, bigoted, racist, discriminatory, prejudiced, unfair, and insulting. Yet it's been the dominant thinking in the Australian government, universities, media, (particularly the ABC) and general public discourse for decades. This retrogressive, confused, righteous stupidity has to be walked back. We’ll be burning witches again if this continues. The echo chamber that has created ‘The Voice’ in its current form needs to take a long hard look at themselves; and their shameful, unjust, and discriminatory doctrine of critical race theory. And instead of pronouncing: racism, discrimination, unfairness, and bigotry upon any Australians who stand against ‘The Voice’ in its current form. They should examine the structural racism they intend to widen and inflate with the same furious incrimination. The Voice is not a path to reconciliation, and harmony it is a path to entrench structural racism within our nation's constitution. Something that should be abhorrent to all Australians but particularly so to Indigenous Aboriginal, and Torres Strait Islander’s. So please Greens, and The ALP don’t lecture and moralise any Australian on our tolerance, open-mindedness, or our almost universal acceptance of the Aboriginal people. The Voice is fluff, popular, crowd-pleasing, and overt virtue signalling, encouraging intolerance, narrow-mindedness, and dogmatism. Yet beyond this reality. The Voice is another expensive misuse of money that could and indeed should be actually being used to improve the lives of Australians. And perhaps even used to improve the lives of all Australians in need, without any thought to their race? Or their cultural background! Issues of racial and social injustices are hardly ousted by elevating and heightening race (cultural identification, credentials). Especially on a political level, but also within the wider community. The Voice to Parliament is all about adding a new “Elite Canberra-based bureaucracy” in the constitution rather than reconciliation or recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Australia has over 270 cultures, let’s embrace them all, but most importantly let’s embrace the Australians who make up our country first. The individual, and not limit Australians as only their cultural identification, credentials.❤🇦🇺🦘

Such a common sense approach. People like this with strong sensible approach convictions should be running our whole nation instead of the crxp we see, hear and get, going on in our parliament house.

If Jacinta Price runs for Prime Minister, she has my vote and support.

[@1986tessie]

I got one against it. We already have too many politicians, why do we need more? How about we abolish state governments first, then come back and talk to me. The answer the second time will still be no. Lol

[@Dont_Gnaw_on_the_Kitty_1]

An Aboriginal committee (like a board of directors) are not politicians. If they don't perform as MEASURED by Closing the Gap, they will be dismissed.

[@1986tessie]

@Dont_Gnaw_on_the_Kitty by who and how? Do they get paid? I assume yes, by taxpayers. How many staff will each have? Offices that need furniture, what will the budget be. I have too many unanswered questions, and it's racist to ask any of them. They most certainly are politicians btw. Unelected ones at that, which are the worst kind. I'm a libertarian.

Fantastic interview! Well done Jacinta! Australia desperately needs YOUR VOICE!!

[@terryjackson3586]

Jacinta understands more than anyone I have ever heard about this referendum. We are all responsible for how we bring up our children, they in turn are responsible the person they become. Don`t blame others.

[@aidanmartin7923]

It was really nice to hear from an aboriginal person that us white people born on this land have a connection to it and a place on it to. Now that is a unifying idea. I think she is way too smart to do it, but i would love to see this woman as PM.

[@hardrockminingsolutions155]

Jacinta is nothing short on an Australian national hero in my view, what a bloody mess we would be in without the likes of her and Mr Mundine having the courage to speak the real truth and show common sense.

[@leandabee]

Exactly right Jacinta, it is emotional blackmail. The state I live in, I have not seen any vote no posters. The yes vote posters are everywhere on buildings and on peoples fences.

[@CousinJennie]

She is actually making me cry, speaking to the question of advice for young people feeling guilty - she has wisdom beyond her years.

[@djhogan65]

Jacinta for Prime Minister!

[@roylayfield6160]

What an inspiring, articulate and smart woman she is. Jacinta Price, well done and thank you for posing such a sensible and logical opposition to this 'voice' proposal.

[@steviesmart2343]

The Voice of Reason indeed is Jacinta Price.

[@andydarbyshire4933]

"The conversation has been hijacked by activists instead of those speaking honestly about the circumstance" She has insight and a unique storytelling gift. Thnx Jacinta.
