Yes to recognition of First Nations people in the Constitution.

The rest of the Voice proposal doesn’t need a referendum - the Govt already has the power to set up a First Nations consultancy group with the view to provide better outcomes for First Nations people. It doesn’t need to be locked into the Constitution and by leaving it out of the Constitution the Govt has far more flexibility to remodel the structure of the Voice isn’t providing the intended outcomes.

The intentions behind setting up ATSIC were correct but it failed to deliver enough benefit, in fact a number of KPI worsened, to justify its role. Will the Voice be any different?

Agreed TT.  The government needs to legislate it in the first instance and let it run.  After a settling in period make any necessary adjustments until it is showing tangible benefits and not some deep hole money pit where hundreds are on the gravy train but nothing is achieved.  Then and only then, put it to the people for inclusion in the Constitution.  This is really poor from Albo and the woke lefties.

just a little disappointed with you and another SF posters comments on this topic Southerner. I would have thought being a passsionate and long time Bulldogs man you would have  a little more empathy toward First Nations people..Your comments about Cheese and Lollies are downright racist comments and have nothing to do with the THE VOICE..
My invitation to meet is merely if you are a true bulldog supporter let’s catch up at a club function in the coming weeks and have chat I would like to know more about your motivation behind your comments.
Surely this site has a pm ?
 

I think Southy's comments on cheese are fair enough given the product was named after its founder Edward Coon back in the 1920s but it's indicative of how ridiculous it has become these days where even that can be construed as having racist overtones which is just nonsense.

Yes exactly. And I read somewhere he patented a cheese making process that he called cooning in the mid to late 1920's. Whereby the live cultures were retained to produce a smoother better tasting product. He was obviously a clever man. 
Sadly our so called "modern day and age" is taking us backwards. There are many things that nowadays are seen as being racist, which is wrong.

Spot on WAG. Back to the topic and I think it's ironic Yes supporters brand anyone with a different opinion as "racist" when the whole thing is based on race and in my opinion is the most racist bit of policy I've seen in many years.

Misery loves company….
