Has Australia lost its collective mind with the Voice? By Bryan Phillips.
The Voice is probably the greatest confidence tricks ever attempted to be played on the Australian people.
Why would any country enshrine a race-based clause in its Constitution that risks an undefined minority being handed disproportionate power over all legislative decisions?
Can’t the nation see the rationale that ‘the Voice will solve the dysfunction in remote communities’ is cover for a naked grab for power by city-based elites? Elites whose track record has been to improve their lot while not providing sufficient evidence that they give a damn about solving the problems endemic in dysfunctional remote communities…
Left activists will control the Voice, and the Voice will have an effective veto on every issue.
It is estimated that there are about 20,000 full blood Aboriginals living in remote communities unable to emerge from the strictures of their tribal cultures, yet it is the educated city elite who are trying to convince us that this is not a power grab. This is despite the Uluru Statement clearly demanding power for an Aboriginal bureaucracy to inject itself into every aspect of our lives, as well as seeking reparations, truth-telling, and a treaty. But for whom and with whom?
And now we have a new WA Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act requiring all landowners with property over 1,100 square metres to consult with and pay local commissars for the right to work their own land. …
within weeks of the Act coming into force, the disruption and bribery has already started with tree planting stopped and payments demanded.
Given the Uluru Statement demands, this is a clear signal of what is to come with a Voice. And for what it’s worth in Canada BC, we are now seeing ‘The Land You Are On’ with a 1 per cent charge being added to pizza takeaway bills ‘to support the First Nations vision to conserve and revitalize Tribal Parks + Culture’…
John Howard, former PM:
Howard is unapologetic in believing that joining the mainstream of our society is the ticket to success for the vast majority of Australians. …
Howard worries that a close referendum result will, potentially, lead to a “fragile situation” for the nation. …
Howard is scathing of Anthony Albanese’s voice campaign, and he describes Indigenous Minister Linda Burney’s advocacy as “ineffectual”.
“The Prime Minister has not commanded the heights of this debate in any meaningful way except to utter banal generalisations,” he said. …
Howard laments that years of insiders talking among themselves about the voice have not involved the general public.
It’s been an incredibly elitist approach, he says, with no serious debates. Even now, Burney has said in recent days she won’t debate her Liberal counterpart, Jacinta Nampijinpa Price.
It’s going down. Why doesn’t he Albanese Government withdraw the referendum? Hmmm … it must have a reason.
