Thats unfair, no matter how I respond I am in trouble.
It is in the same category as me asking when did you siop beating your wife.

Don't announce your intentions DB, the "authorities" will find a way to discount your vote.

There you go, I thought she was strongly for the Voice and Jacinta Price was against it, just shows how much confusion surrounds it. ?Lidia Thorpe has just quit the Greens so she can go hard against the Voice!
"My strength and conviction comes from a lifetime of activism, from my Ancestors and from my Matriarchs, who continue to say to me every day, 'keep infiltrating, keep your integrity, keep the fire burning, keep our fight alive."
"To my mob, I say this – your strength is my strength, your fight is my fight, your struggle is my struggle. I’m ready for what comes next in the fight for a future where our kids are with their families, where our people are not killed in custody, where the chains that the system wraps around our people are lifted."
Well you guys have a strong ally to stop it. I'm eating some popcorn.
She of course has her eyes on the bigger prize. The "no" case she be very careful before embracing her opposition to this. Thorpe's idea will take us out of the frying pan and into the fire.Lidia Thorpe has just quit the Greens so she can go hard against the Voice!

So who wants the 'voice'? Other than the white fella's in Canberra, to form another gravy train. ?
but what that practically means is unclear.
She will most likely become even more irrelevant.She of course has her eyes on the bigger prize. The "no" case she be very careful before embracing her opposition to this. Thorpe's idea will take us out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Well that will lower the life expectancy, more money and still no work, not a good recipe.Watch out for an "indigenous rent levy" on all households to pay for the "dispossession".

At some point she must come up for reelection.
Such divisive characters seldom get a second chance from the wise electors.
After getting voted in by defeating a labour candidate in a 2017 by-election, she lost her Victorian assembly seat to labour when rolled at the 2018 by the daughter of a Vic labour luminary, Theo Theophonous .
She was parachuted into the senate when Richard Di Natale bailed out.
She retained her seat in the 2022 election.
So, after getting into parliament isn a by election, she was booted out in a general election, and got her next seat without going to the Voters.
I suspect the same fate will await her in the next senate Election when she is up for reelection.
She has some parallels with another divisive shrill, Kristine Keneally.

Which is what I suggested on the ASF forum, when Kevin Rudd made the apology, instead of sending a cheque to everyone and their dog he should have paid compensation to the Aboriginals.I think something like this has been proposed before hasn’t it? But I think it was a one-off payment of about $200k for every Aboriginal?
But now she is in the Senate, which will make it difficult to get a quota.Unfortunately, she’s in my electorate which is mostly the City of Yarra which is the most woke electorate in the country. There’s every chance she gets elected on her own. ?
I think something like this has been proposed before hasn’t it? But I think it was a one-off payment of about $200k for every Aboriginal? If The Voice proposed something like that does it have to be considered?
In that case I will self identify myself as Aboriginal and will stand in line with my hand outstretched.
