What Could Happen If The Voice To Parliament Referendum Fails?

Fears the Voice to Parliament referendum may fail have prompted concerns that racism will follow and ruin Australia's global reputation. Yes Campaigner and leader of First Peoples' Assembly of Victoria, Marcus Stewart, joins us.

[@AussieAmigan]

The voice is a slippery slope, where increasingly more will be demanded. There is no boundary specified on what can affect indigenous peoples, so they will never be appeased. It all sounds lovely until you realise that it makes a treaty inevitable. And just so you know, with that treaty will come higher taxes (disguised as a levy no doubt) and more charges and regulations regarding land ownership and property rights of any kind which will drive up rents. And to top it off, you know damn well various competing indigenous groups are going to be making money from this and will rort the system for all its worth. It's just another racket disguised as social justice, by a government who really should focus on more pressing concerns, like inflation and interest rates.

Truth telling, here's a few that native Australians don't like to hear. Modern humans did not leave Africa until 50,000 y.a. so how could they have been here 65,000 y.a.? The oldest evidence of humans in Australia is 43,000 y.a. Mungo Man. But he was from an earlier migration than today's native Australians. Native Australians have about the same amount of Mungo Man genes as the average European has Neanderthal genes. Today's native Australians started arriving from Papua 30,000 y.a. and have been arriving ever since. Some "Aboriginal" ancestors arrived after the first fleet. Native Australians are not indigenous, all humans evolved in Africa and they are not aboriginal, Mungo Man's people were the original Australians. Todays natives are just another wave of migrants. Boomerang technology was invented in Europe at least 23,000 y.a. and didn't make it to Australia until 10,000 y.a. about the time is was superceded everywhere else. Pretty much every technology described in Dark Emu is completely false. Welcome to country is a fake ceremony created by Ernie Dingo in 1976 as a response to the Māori Hakka. That's the truth.

In the constitution, all Australians should have the same rights and should share the same responsibilities. Race has no place in the Australian constitution. The country doesn't need ‘The Voice’, and about the only ‘achievement’ ‘The Voice’ will without question bring about is further division. The voice doesn't exist to do anything but stroke the egos of a select few at the expense of everyone else. I, as most Australians would be more than happy to include the many, hundreds of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups, each with their own culture, language, beliefs and practices in Australia’s constitutional preamble it’s appropriate, true, and it’s important. It is of such importance that accuracy is almost equally meaningful. We as a nation need to take this important step towards harmony and recognition accurately and correctly, the fabrication of a ‘First Nation’ should not be included.

I think going backwards is a great option. I agree we could go back 30 years and that sounds like a bonus. Do you remember life 10, 20, 30 years ago? It's not a crime to acknowledge we have taken the wrong path. Are aboriginal communities better today when compared to a decade or 2 ago? A U-turn is needed. We've made mistakes go back and try again. To be honest getting out of the United Nations would be the first step to correcting a lot of our current social issues. I know young people that tick, aboriginal and non binary just to get apprenticeship. I feel we are heading blindly into a dark future with no care, no map and no lights.

A full review of the $32bn we apparently waste, to "fill the gap", is absolutely needed. Lets say that 20% of indig need more help. That amount of money, divided into 20%, is around $750,000 for every disadvantaged Indig, every year!

[@garyanthonymoss]

Workers compensation payouts amount to less than 20% once you take out, legal, health and other fees. An NDIS patient has a package worth 250k. They charge more than 10 times the cost for basic items. They will take 100k and put it into friends and friendly pockets. They would be putting 90% of the Closing the GAP money into friendly pockets. They will be using dodge accounting to justify the spend. Upgrades to facilities like community centres, paint a wall = 10k. Travel for friends of the scheme to other countries to observe similar programs in Europe and North America. If the NDIS scheme doesn't bankrupt Australia, the voice will. Labor = Unions = control = NDIS = Voice We are becoming a communist state of the worst kind. We are past stage one socialist stage and the unelected government is growing.

[@GregMoylan-pn6sr]

With the benefit of hindsight, the 1967 referendum that granted Federal Parliament the power to make laws in relation to Aboriginal people was the big mistake. Unintentionally, it opened the door to the mess that is today's Aboriginal industry (via successive legislation & High Court "discoveries"). We now need to go back 56 years & undo this mess via a new referendum to expunge from our constitution, all reference to race. This will stop the ongoing transformation of Aboriginals into a race of rent seekers. It would be real reconciliation... a true egalitarian society. Equal status. Equal rights. Equal opportunity.

They will be ‘chosen’ [that is, appointed; free elections for the Group of 24 are not proposed] based on regional and family (tribal) connections. This will allow powerful Aboriginal families and clans to dominate the membership process and ensure that only their family members are cc‘hosen’.

[@johnrichards6080]

Recognition - Yes. Voice - No. Why? 1.

Would the Voice be used to help disadvantaged indigenous people, or used as a platform for gaining money and power? I think 1. No (how could it?), 2. No, 3. Highly likely. Activists are already saying the Voice would just be the first step before treaty, demanding an annual percentage of GDP, Pay the Rent etc. Voting Yes with the assumption that you're helping to 'close the gap' is naive and illogical. As a compromise, why not legislate for the Voice without changing the Constitution?

[@garyanthonymoss]

If you take this out of Australian and apply it to other countries, it sounds and looks like racism. Europe has ancient civilizations and people that have a direct connection to their lands. If the decedent's of the original; Germans, Greece's, Italians etc... set up a voice that oversees their elected government, how would that be looked upon. It sounds like Colonialism and setting up new class systems. The systems would be based predominantly on the colour/color of the groups skin. I can't see why those countries can't apply the same logic to dictate to the predominantly non white recent immigrants. It all reminds me of Germany this time last century.

THE GAP Different analysts, in different conditions, define gaps differently: in Australia it relates mainly to differences in living standards between Aboriginal People and other members of the community (homeless people having less consideration). In America, a gap is mentioned repeatedly between the rich and the poor (deterioration of the middle class) demonstrated by a large homeless population. Another aspect, mentioned but not seem as seriously is the global gap between the educated and the under educated. Conspiracy advocates see this as being on purpose, whether it is or not, the social incidences look like going beyond what most analysts see or predict. The gaps, in fact, seem to located as a blank space in understanding and feeling. MOST Citizens in the Western World have been kept away from direct conflicts. Incidences are in sight but orientated towards fears. This is summarised here in very few words but pages and pages of narratives would not cover the topics. As a consequences of those existing gaps, authoritarian ruling is facilitated and Religions play mainly a submittive role, NOT REALISING THAT PSYCHOLOGY IS NOT OPPOSITION BUT A PROTESTING SHIELD, and as such does not require to be integrated within Practices. A joint opposition of non-scientific Humanities by both Governments and Religions are a major cause of dysfunctions in the World today, that includes wars and many Social dysfunctions. It has become hard to have a proper balance of power since the Left has been successful at conditioning what appears to be half the population: this makes the present situation very challenging indeed, where today is our future.

I'm in Canada. We have a lot more to worry about out here than your referendum. By the way, if I could have voted, I would have voted No. There are different ways to reconcile with your aborigines. The Voice was only one way. It failed. Time to think of something else.
