Dillon is pretty much against it, but has taken the position that if it does go ahead, let's make it workable rather than potentially a complete shxtshow.

Price and Dillon remain very sensible opposition to the whole idea and are the only two indigenous that I can see that it is permissible to be racist against (leftist logic, any criticism at all against blackfulla is racist, unless they disagree with us. In that case it is completely ok to be racist)

Just include significantly shorter life span, great risk of disease like diabetes, losing eye sight etc and before the effects of alcohol, tobaccos and drugs.

Couldn't disagree more about Price being sensible her position is total political BS aligned with the Nats haven't heard Dillions take.

Gents may I say that your comments are disingenuous, lack depth of discussion or argument, conservative , you know nothing needs to change, no progress required because its all woke (Price).
You are talking lovely old conversations that got us to here you know same stuff that got us to here with a gap between indigenous and your perceptions of grandeur.

Maybe some things "haven't worked" because some people don't want them to work ?

For some, accepting that the white man's interventions have been beneficial is saying that indigenous people can't solve their own problems.

What were the indigenous people doing to solve child abuse in remote communities ?

A sensible look at the Voice to parliament and comments on Prices position showing how political and of no consequence they are, common sense you wont find in the Murdoch press.

By Marcia Langton is an Aboriginal writer, a descendant of the Yiman people of Queensland. She is professor of Australian Indigenous studies at the University of Melbourne.


"In one monologue, advocates for the Voice, myself included, set out a vision for a reconciled Australia in which First Peoples are constitutionally part of the fabric of the nation, able to speak to the lawmakers whose decisions have too often harmed us and have comprehensively failed to close the gap.

In the other, there are petty diatribes warning of the collapse of democracy should the Voice become reality. Worse, they say in their almost daily harangues, Australia will be divided by race and, because the Voice is a racist proposition, we who advocate for it are opposed to the very idea of Australia."

Fighting for a Voice

It is eight months since Prime Minister Anthony Albanese used his victory speech to promise his government would implement in full the Uluru Statement from the Heart. What has transpired since is less the dialogue he hoped for and more two separate monologues. In one monologue, advocates for the...

How do we board this particular gravy wagon sit out in the sun and cook for a bit then claim some miniscule percentage over 1st peoples heritage, and then scream outrage.
