No point in firing up a hate campaign, it was a pretty conclusive vote and just because it didn't get up doesn't mean things aren't being done.

I'm sure there are many high profile people from the 'Yes" campaign, that received payment for their jobs also, many actually donated shareholder money from memory.

How many shares do you think the Wesfarmers, Rio and BHP execs, who gave the money to the Yes campaign, got this reporting season?
(Wesfarmers has donated $2 million to the Yes campaign ahead of the referendum on the Indigenous Voice, following donations from mining giants BHP and Rio Tinto.)

Ben Wyatt from the Yes campaign probably was also given shares by Rio, one would think, does that mean he falls under the same auspices as Mundine and therefore deserves the same criticism.

As I said during the 'voice' presentation, IMO it is far better to address the grievances, than to entrench a two tier society.
It would appear, you are more bitter about Labor losing the vote, than resolving the underlying aboriginal disadvantage issue.
As do those who took the junket to Alice Springs a while back, tokenism needs to replaced by action, as with the wages issue above.

Just because you disagree with Mundine and Price, doesn't make them a bad person and you a good person, it just means you have a different belief on how to address the issue, hopefully Albo re engages with the issue and the vindictiveness can stop.
