The Voice


Nothing to do with Labor SP its to do about improving lives such a novel idea seems to be beyond most here quoting politics.

Well don't you think the main targets of the proposed changes should be given a heads up?
Don't you realise how crazy it is, when every person in Australia has to vote on something and even those who are most affected don't know what it is they are voting on.
That's pretty bizzare.

I mean they are selling this on the fact that no one has listened to the grass roots people, and they haven't told the grass roots people. ?
 

So what advice do you think the Voice will give IFocus ?

You have obviously been 'out there' and talked to people.
 


The more the govt gives the bigger the waste, they buy depreciating assets, new cars, TVs, and more junk.
 
It's the same grubs from the failed ATSIC that are stepping up into the voice representatives, that's why they can't tell anyone who they'll be.
Even Lidia Thorpe walked out on them during the Ulura commission, some of the land council reps weren't even invited at all.
 
How is formal recognition in the constitution going to help bridge the gap?
Luckily I know that @Joe Blow prevents multiple ids here, but but parodying @SirRumpole's wilful ignorance is not an argument.
You could at least have a go at reading or understanding a massive amount of information that is widely available, and has occasionally been linked here. Aside from that, in this thread I have gone beyond the public info and shown how the mechanics of policy making will change.
Despite this you regurgitate a theme that has many times been covered in this thread over its almost 100 pages to date.
 

Come on SP there are Aboriginals out there that don't understand what the Voice is about similar to most of the commenters here difference is one lot actually have access to the information

Last poll I saw said 80% ATSI backed the Voice

That is exactly what I said, if you read back through the post, I also said how stupid is that, when those who are responsible for the Voice, haven't explained it to those it affects. It's even more stupid that no one has even made any effort to try to inform them.

What needs to happen is the Departments of aboriginal affairs all need sacking, not just another group added to them, just because a brain fart comes from your best mate doesn't make it smell better IMO.
What you are basically saying is the Departments that have been dealing with the indigenous haven't been doing their job, so we are going to add a voice to them, so that they know what their job is. Priceless.
If they said we are doing away with the department of aboriginal affairs because it has been a failure, we are replacing the minister with a committee made up of aboriginal representatives, that will report and act with the cabinet in office, that makes sense.
To just add another group, to the group that has been proven useless, is stupid.

Last poll I saw said 80% ATSI backed the Voice
Last poll I saw was a group of 750 people, as with any poll you can get the result you want, just poll the people who agree with you.

Polls remind me of a tour the wife and I took to Olympus, the tour guide gave us a questionaire and some pencils to rate the tour, then she went back to her seat on the bus and commenced correcting them with a rubber.

How would explaining 100% of the Voice affect indigenous voting when they represent 3% of the total?
Did you think that one through?

Why?
A lot of the failure is due to continuous changes in government, policy, and funding.
Then there's the fact that ATSI issues cover many departments and 3 separate levels of government.
That's 2 brain farts from you in a row.

It's somewhat incidental to what's necessary for the referendum to get up. A composite view of polling to date is here. On trend the referendum has no hope of passing.

That makes no sense to anyone but yourself. ?
Did you actually read that one through.
No one who is responsible for educating the community on the voice has made the effort to reach out to the remote communities at all, if they are expected to make a valued decision on a vote that the outcome affects them, someone is responsible for that function and it has been another failure by that department.

As usual a public service with a myriad of excuses for complete failure to perform their function, as explained by yourself in several posts.
That's two nil.?

Because it is fundamentally flawed.

Let's see:
100% of indigenous = 3% of total voters​
Therefore 3% of all voters will lead to the referendum being passed​
Your maths teacher failed you.
That's the role of the electoral commission.

Lets see:
The voice affects 100% of indigenous living in remote communities, 0% have been visited and had it explained to them.
Your comprehension teacher appears lacking.
That's the role of the electoral commission.
Then is them that are a 100% failure, that just proves my point, that whoever was responsible for conveying the 'voice' to the communities has failed, as I said Sir Humphrey.
 
You can't answer it just like Albo, because there is no difference other than they can try to screw with the high courts. You have 8 ATIS senators and 3 MPs, what more do you want, If they don't listen there are obviously other problems. Maybe you should self reflect about the one who is telling the mistruths.

I'll leave this here for everyone to judge for themselves and spread the truth that the leading govt will not.

Have you ever watched one of those crime shows where they interrogate a suspect for an alleged offense and the suspect gives answers that are incoherent and or tries to convince the interrogators of circumstances of events because they're trying to hide the truthful events? Well, the voice comes across exactly like this to me.
 
Why don't you actually read posts or, at least, go and read on the background leading up to the Voice?
Or do you lack comprehension skills?

Not a single post to date has validated a no vote on reason.

Given the topic was about the percentage of voters needed for a yes vote to pass, and had nothing to do with if anything was explained or not, I can see why your posts are a confusing mess.

Why?
The AEC does not post out information until closer to the voting date.
In the meantime we get racist tropes, lies, deception, conspiracy theories and misinformation from proponents of the no vote. So if there is a failure here it rests largely with dishonesty and feeble mindedness becoming more and more prevalent in society.
 

Just wait a sec

Hey Albo, is the voice a means into entering a treaty?

Albo: No, it's not.
