Mr Pearson....it may enlighten you to look up the actual meaning of the word 'indigenous.' My celtic ancestors were dispossessed of their land, ripped away from their familes, enslavened for many years, shackled, starved, opressed and beaten cruelly. Who pays reparations to us for the loss of our Irish culture, our ancestral heritage and family relations in Ireland, who we've never met. This is what happened to my great, great grandfather and grandmother, all because of their beliefs and their fight against their opressors and for sovereignty of their own land. They were part of the United Irish Rebellion. Because of this, my great, great grandfathers family were brutally murdered. These poor Irish wretches, the convicts, built the foundations on which this country flourishes today. No hand outs, no support, no health system, no education, no government housing, no money. How did they do it? Extreme hard work, determination and sheer grit. That's how. They worked their butts off to build a life for their familes in a harsh, hostile environment. As a result we all now enjoy tne fruits of their hard labour and have conveniences and comforts that all peoples in Australia enjoy today and that includes you, Mr Pearson and your mob. Encourage all Aboriginal folk to look forward and work toward the future. Australian taxpayers are under enough hardship as it is. No more..we owe you nothing. We all have a story to tell and many of our stories are equally sad. You're no more a victim of a tragic history than any other race of people within our country.

Senator Price says Australian taxpayers spend at least $100 million a day on direct support for Indigenous Australians. Every year $39.5 billion of direct government expenditure every single year. The figures are based on the 2017 Indigenous Expenditure Report produced by the Productivity Commission. 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. NO

mp Warren Entsch just hit the nail on the head, there is a problem at the grass roots level. 09:32

[@peterpace2463]

NO

[@zwarst]

Who else thinks the voice is a native version of the comedy series Black Adder - without the laughs?

[@rogueelement8831]

It's more like the wizard of Oz.

[@kaynine31]

No, its the $30 billion question. Time to do an audit on this crook. Do it Now.

[@ardshielcomplex8917]

Noel from Noosa has to be audited, WHERE DID YOU GET THE BIG $$$$$ Pearson ?

[@kenmoss9151]

Sick of being lectured to by pushers of apartheid Sick of being welcomed to my own country Sick of seeing our NATIONAL flag pushed to one side in lieu of another Sick of their bloody voices - One country ,one flag , one voice ,voting NO

[@georgesutter2256]

The aboriginal industrial complex breeding victims for the bleeding hearts.

[@maxdoubt7680]

America has the MIC - Military Industrial Complex industry which does a great job of taxing us. Australia has our own MIC - Misappropriating Indigenous Complex Industry which does likewise.

[@JoyMartin-rk4pm]

They say they are the oldest of this country. They don't mind new money though. Funny that.

[@grahamjohnson7383]

Pearson needs to be investigated by the AFP, shows australia your financial statements.

[@kevindonaghey8483]

How many of the indigenous communities have actually been asked if they wanted the voice in the first place as even some of the locals at Uluru had said they never signed the statement but their names are on it

[@dalecross689]

I noticed Noel got the big room. Unlike Jacinta who got the small room. Racist much?

[@letstalk3265]

Interesting that Pearson et al are all getting paid through the public purse and have been for decades. If it's been so bad and so many gaps why are they taking the money. Isn't it tainted in the boohoo victimhood industry. That's why they all want a yes, to keep being wealthy beyond most Aborigines dreams of such affluence. These people are disingenuous and DO NOT REPRESENT First Nations peoples. The ones I have in my family and know through my life are stand up proud Australians. We all want to close all the gaps for all Australians.

[@charlesstubbs385]

There were people here before the Aboriginals. The Aboriginals came across the land bridge and committed genocide on these original inhabitants.

[@simontyne3032]

Nonsense

[@rogermckinnon5738]

Not divide us by race, it already has. One people One Australia vote no to the voice.

[@actualfacts1055]

The National Indigenous Australians Agency is the Aboriginal Voice, we don't need another one in the Constitution forever.

[@bushwhacked1835]

The one thing we have learnt in the YES campaign for the Voice is they have absolutely no interest in the experience of the ELECTED representatives at the coal face working with indigenous communities in regional areas where the most disadvantage is prevelant.

[@georgiacompton7427]

Very true! Has Noel Pearson defined those marginalised that need Voice and extra billions to 'close the gap'. The Voice we know what he is arguing, however, I would like to see some of the real disadvantaged and ask, "do they know Noel Pearson". Noel Pearson is a very greedy and selfish man who needs to live in the present so his people can move forward.

[@bushwhacked1835]

Well, I don't have much time for self-aggrandizing community representatives dubiously 'brought forth'. There's a basic democratic principal in this country called a secret ballot, which produces transparent accountable elected representatives. It's not perfect, but for all its flaws, it is the best system we have.

[@AdrianaDuckworth-ce9mh]

So Noel Pearson is getting a good slices of the pie 🥧 🤔 can we stop given them so much money 💰 and get them to work

[@barbaraepye3895]

There should be a Royal Commission into where the Millions of Dollars went.

[@sunriseboy4837]

Fix your own "country" first, Noel!!!

[@kaynine31]

Investigate his wealth now.

[@jillseys6780]

Very interesting Andrew. Very interesting that Mr Pearson has his hands in all the pies! I wonder how much of the pies he’s enjoying!!

[@chloeew4627]

I was waiting for Warren to do a ,,welcome to country ,, 😂😂😂😂
