    This was really well explained. I never knew that New Zealand established a treaty with the Maori people in 1840. No wonder there's such better communication there.

      I'm voting NO because Australia should have equal rights for all Australians, and not have a permanent government advisory that is based on race and will forever divide the nation. There are many aboriginal groups who are also voting NO because they know this is not a good thing for Australia!

    The Treaty of Waitangi exists only because the Maoris forced the British to negotiate by meeting violence with even more violence. While the news that made it back to Britain was generally positive the reality was that British forces suffered as never before at the hands of the Maoris. Not even the Zulus could match them for ferocity.

    This is not the old days
    Aboriginals have the same voice as everyone else
    One person
    One vote
    One representation
    It doesn’t get fairer that that.
    The Constitution is not the problem.
    The idea of dividing along the lines of colour/race/blood has been shown time and again to go to dark places. It is by definition unfair and so over time breeds resentment, anger, and then racism. The very thing people voting Yes want to avoid.
    We need to be one people going forward together with equal standing under the rules of the land and addressing disadvantage together where we find it.

    myop Land must be represented and thru that representation, protected from Acts made by persons (or and not of the Land).
    the Native populations live on Land and Land must be protected. so there should be Natives in the Parliament, so as to have all Land of the nation being represented in Government. a Lot of people do not respect Land, as an entity, self aware or not. it is the land that be where most humans live humans prefer to live ON Land and not so much on water so protect the Land by using Locals of all sorts and plots from the Land, as reps of chosen Land. // 4 watt light bulb it is worth
