You are as Australian as anyone else. John just likes to push propaganda that fearmongers instead of actually talking about the facts. He claims changing the constitution will cause the race disparity to be eternal, as if it will never change. Guess what? You can change constitution! That’s exactly what we are bloody talking about with the voice: changing the constitution. Get a grip. Stop listening to racebaiters and start living in the real world

[@DJDJDJ22]

Mate I’m an Aborignal-Australian and I work full time and pay taxes too. I love this country but have seen lots of discrimination towards my people. We were here first and deserve recognition in the constitution as such. It’s people like you that are scared and full of hate that hold my people back from being the next we can be. Shame on you for making this about race and hate. Aboriginal-Australians love this country I love this country and I’m just sick of seeing most of my people be vilified by nine heads like you who don’t understand how badly your racism effects us. Shame on you.

[@SteveG-l7d]

Well said. You shouldn't have to feel this way. According to our constitution in it's current form, you are just as Australian as the next person and have exactly the same rights and privileges! To be Australian in my opinion isn't just about rights, it's also a feeling of belonging and acceptance. If immigrants come here and decide to call Australia home, then that's exactly what it should be, a home where you feel safe and accepted. Unfortunately there is no perfect system. Some immigrants refuse to accept our culture, get jobs or assimilate into the community. Some Australians refuse to accept immigrants into the community too. Fortunately for the vast majority these two issues are relatively small. The voice will, however forever introduce a racial division within our country. I acknowledge that atrocities were committed in the past, but these should be taken up with the British monarchy that allowed them! Convicts and settlers didn't start this mess and to some degree were just as oppressed by the system. Why should we be forced to feel guilty for something we never took part in? Australia should be proud of it's multicultural heritage. We have many groups of migrants and refugees who brought additional skills and culture that enhanced our country. These should be celebrated, not swept under the carpet! South Africa is a good example of where this could lead. Racism goes both ways. The voice is totally racist. It will permanently divide Australia's by their skin colour, cause the divide to get worse and cause resentment and financial hardship. As a democratic nation we should only accept solutions that enhance equality, rather than division. As this video clearly states, more money is spent on aboriginal people than any other multicultural class in this country. That in itself is racist. The problem is due to too many layers of bureaucracy absorbing the funding, with no checks and balances! If they aren't performing the function they were created for, then they either fix the issues or remove these departments. Accountability will solve many of the problems. Sir Thomas Playford was South Australia's longest serving premier. He had a tiny staff compared to now, caught public transport to save taxpayers money and ran the state like a clock! Current politicians should take a good look back at this, then look into the mirror!

It's part of an international land grab agenda; for the transnational globalist dystopian corporatocracy where you'll own nothing & you'll be happy. • Safe Guard Mechanism introduced by Turdbull and Hunt in 2015, the basis for a CO2 tax GLOBALLY. • Howard and Costello played key roles behind the sellout of The Commonwealth Bank of Australia. o www.bitchute.com/video/X8w56QHU3qrN/ kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5e9d4SCmcqFsMk/

[@tonynichols2361]

And a few more observations. The 3.2% of the population number was about 2.5% a Census or two ago. The ABS ackowledges that the growth in the 'Indigenous' population is being largely driven by people newly identifying as Indigenous (not from births to previously identifying Indigenous people). Safe to say, none of these 'new' Indigenous people live in the town camps around Alice and the like. Indigenous people, through Native Title, Land Councils, control over National Parks etc manage over 50% of the land area of the continent. This is hardly anti-reconciliation! In recent times we have had the apology, welcome to country and ackowledgement of past tribal lands have become public meeting staples, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags are considered to have equal status to the Austarlian flag and so on. None of this suggests any anti-reconciliation movement, but of couorse it's still not enough without the Voice. The sad thing is that none of these virtue signalling changes have actually made a difference to the people who actually need assistance - the point you make John about what has happened to all that money! No, of course, an additional elitist Indigenous identifying body, with the power to comment (advise government) on just about everything, but without any responsibility to deliver anything, will make all the difference. It saddens me really that there is any support for the Voice as it is being promoted - too many people are happy to 'feel good' without actually worrying about whether it will really make any difference.

We have no idea the limits of this body’s power and we can never vote against it. Unlike a PM/Party that we’re not happy with i.e they have to stay within the realms of public interest or they’ll lose support.

ATSIC had years, and years to do something positive for indigenous communities, but it ended ignominiously, riddled with corruption and mismanagement of the billions of dollars it received every year from the taxpayers of Australia. Both parties had agreed it needed to be abolished. And the NIAA are heading in the same direction. The voice is not the solution, it’s just going to give less than 1%, of 1%, of the 3.2% of the population of Australia, power over 99.999% of the rest of Australia’s population. Thomas Mayo the architect of the Uluru statement, and a fervent communist, has stated that he wants to see our whole system be torn down. And when you see two aboriginal men have an argument over who should be doing a smoking ceremony, (because of the money it pays) in the presence of a Labor minister, and the media, and the minister asking who organised it, and her aides say what a mess, it’s not because I’m racist, it’s because I can see with my own eyes, the division, not just between First Nations people, but the rest of the country it will cause.

The Voice, if elected, will be elected by a separate group of people ( two votes) based on race/ancestry as an elite group which provides no access to ALL Australians. Should "pay the rent " be invoked ( in fact it already is to the tune of $30 + billion annually), it will replicate the feudal times of UK where the "lesser classes" ( non-indigenous in the Australian situation) paid rents to the Lordly owners of the land, to work and produce the food that kept the nation functioning.

The first huge red flag is they are not defining the composition, functions, powers or procedures of the Voice and they are deferring these to later acts of Parliament. We simply do not know the extent of influence this body could have over national decision making nor can we rule out that the body could be stacked with partisan political appointees to favour a current government's agenda. Secondly it fails to define what is an Aboriginal person. The goto definition appears to be someone with some Aboriginal ancestry who declares themselves to be of Aboriginal descent. This is not a suitable definition if this body exists to give representation to the disadvantage and those with a different world view and culture. To explain, consider my wife: she has a Chinese mother and English father and has lived in Australia all her life. She acknowledges her Asian heritage as well as her English, but sees herself as Australian. She speaks only English, does not particular understand her mothers world view. Then there is our daughter who takes after me with blonde hair and blue eyes. It would be ridiculous to declare either as "Chinese people", to assume they represent the Chinese culture or have any concerns inline with either mainland China or Chinese migrants. And it seems abhorantly racist to say they are not really one us, not Australian, but belong to some "other" group that needs to be separated out. This is precisely how we are treating Aboriginal identity. We are dividing out people who are essentially just like the rest us - 80% of indigenous live in urban areas and don't have the social issues we keep hearing about, they don't speak another language day-to-day, don't believe in shamantic religions nor do they practice the traditions of remote communities. They live modern lives and modern concerns - just like the rest of us - but we are being told they are not one of us. Now most of those indigenous parliamentarians, activists and spoke persons appear to be no different from the white politicians we see day to day. They are well educated (in a very Western sense), they are well paid and wear some very fine suits. They don't really represent the cultural interests or the social issues of the people who actually need help and may well need a voice. Yet I would bet a large sum that if this referendum gets through, it will be those people sitting on the Voice.

[@Vanessa-lf2jn]

Thank you for this clear and concise explanation. Lately the issue of the ‘gap’ we are frequently told about came up in conversation. We couldn’t help but state that this gap is most evident in remote Aboriginal communities, that this gap is due to their culture and ways of being not because Australia as a whole is somehow preventing the gap from closing. The Aboriginal culture is different to western cultures and therefore the gap cannot close no matter what programs and funding Australia provides, if these people prefer and choose their traditional way of life and ways of being. It’s certainly not wrong, it is their choice to live this way but why are we - non aboriginal Australians being blamed for this gap, being shamed for this gap and held accountable for this gap?? If we can start being honest about this gap in outcomes, then we can be honest in whose responsibility it is to close the gap. Aboriginal people are actually responsible for closing this gap with the rest of Australia there to help them if they want help.

[@jounama1]

And this may be acheived by providing a forum through which indigenous people are able to express their concerns on political decisions that will affect them and to promote initiatives that will benefit their health, wealth and opportunity, rather than just voting for one of the main stream poltical parties in the hope that their unique needs will be addressed. Indigenous people in all social and cultural contexts will have a voice. This is not divisive racially, (a condition that obviously already exists, judging by the vitriol on social media) but rather a means by which indigenous people can get a fair go, as is our Australian way.

[@warrenmontgomery57]

This is an argument of free will vs determinism which is as old as age itself. When you take free will all you have is predeterminism which is a direct reflection of current indigenous communities.

So you can see it’s refreshing seeing a response like yours.

Richard Trudgen, author of "Why Warriors Lay Down and Die" (2000), succinctly explains how and why the Gap exists; but because he isn't a politician or an academic his practical solutions for medical and educational factors creating the gap have been dismissed. His book needs to be in every college and university. I'd like every person in Australia to read it.

You'd like every Australian to read it...I really couldn't care less mate. I'm tired to my bones of the aboriginal fetishism in this country. It's downright creepy. I won't be reading it, give a copy to some wealthy white lefty so they fiddle with themselves while reading it.

Whats the summary?

​@@benm468Utter garbage. The same racist line has been used against all sorts of populations over the last century or so.

As an American, I hope and pray this does not pass. Godspeed Australia 🇦🇺 🙏 🇦🇺

[@Nylandersaraus1]

Why is that?

[@riacaasi5259]

Thank you, John Anderson, for this brilliant commentary on the voice campaign. I hope this video gets shared far and wide Vote No Australia

Come midnight on referendum day the Prime Minister Mr. Albanese will have to resign and step down for doing “acts of deception” and doing “acts of untruths” before the Australian peoples on or about his referendum proposition to amend the Australian constitution and install a Voice to Parliament. Mr. Albanese’s letter of resignation to the Governor-General should be complied by him with no less than 26 pages. Mr. Albanese with his non disclosure of details approach to the Voice to Parliament referendum proposition has treated the Australian peoples with contempt. It should never be acceptable or appropriate for a Prime Minister of Australia to treat the Australian peoples in the way he has treated all Australians over his Voice to Parliament referendum. 🇦🇺💯%

[@LordoftheSith]

He won’t resign. Politicians have no shame and he’ll probably blame ‘racism’ for the outcome.

[@bumble-g2j]

Oh god no. Please make it stop.

[@therealbmaphill]

Exactly well said. I hope the rest of Australia wakes up and see's this.
