"The fatuous attempts to depict a simple, straightforward Voice to Parliament as analogous to apartheid is divisive scaremongering at best, or a clear rejection – yet again – of the presence and participation of First Nations Peoples in our society, at worst."

The distortions of Voice are a heartless response to a call for reconciliation

“There will be no transfer of the balance of power within parliament. That power, for the foreseeable future at least, will remain exactly where it has always been – largely in the hands of white Australia. “

I can’t believe the number of gullible people who believe that somehow this will give Indigenous people ‘more say’ than the rest of us

If we’re going to worry about some people having more say than others, then we should be looking at the big money party donors, especially mining and fossil fuel magnates. That’s where the ‘extra say’ happens and so much damage done in the process.
