    I can't wait for this whole ordeal to be over.
    I think this 'voice' debate has done a lot of damage and forced people to take sides. Where there was once good will and cooperation, now there is division and mistrust.
    Thanks for the check-in.

      I could see that she would cop an enormous amount of criticism for some of the things she said in her speech. Very brave indeed. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if she does go on to be Prime Minister. I won’t always agree with her, but that’s not the point, we should have the right to speak our minds without being abused.

    There were optics with Jacinta Price's press conference. Firstly, the dinning room was being renovated, so everyone was moved into the broom cupboard. That sets the tone for the National Press Club. Secondly, the MC coped a bit of blow back because he joined in the Guardian reporters' 'Gotcha' moment that backfired badly, the Guardian reporter came in a second time for a slam dunk moment and got slam-dunked himself. Followed by the MC for the press club, who one would think would be neutral to any topic discussed. He just got an answer that left him in the wash as the Titanic Jacinta just ploughed ahead. Australia is falling in love with this woman.

      @@joblow3638 As an example of "no functional detail", look at taxation. Taxation affects pretty much every adult Australian throughout most of their lives - but do you know how much "functional detail" about taxation there is in the Constitution? None at all: there is a single sentence that says "The Parliament shall have power to make laws with respect to taxation" - that's it. This is because the Constitution is never the place for functional detail. It is up to Parliament to flesh-out the details.
      Having said this, the proposed Constitutional change for the Voice does contain one very important functional detail: that the Voice will only ever be able to give advice. Some people think the Voice will become a negotiating body for things like treaties, etc. That cannot happen. The Constitution will not allow the Voice to do anything except give advice - not even Parliament could change this.

How would you guarantee to me, an Australian, that the Aborigines who alone as a racial group will have control over the selection process for membership of the round table, won't in 5, 10, 20 years' time, decide that indigenous interests align better with (for example) China's or the USA's interests more than with mine, and start using my tax contributions to represent anti-Commonwealth interests at every level? You can't.
      Or what if one half-Aboriginal community, say the Indian-Aboriginal community or a cashed up religious group get control of it and start pushing their agenda against the interests of other Aboriginal tribes? Who would get the government's ear? The Voice, or the little self-funded group of Aborigines who have to represent themselves? You'd have no protection.
      Of course, we know that the political parties would be able to use it to interfere with the policies of their political enemies via the Executive, and it will be used that way. You're opening up abuse of process.

    TROJAN HORSE AT WORK
    1) Looking at the impacts of Aboriginal Traditions to this day: Psychology, Sociology. Anthropology and common-sense would analyse them as being Spiritual: as such should be untouched by Legislation, unless illegal acts are committed, and then this is what, and only what, should be focused on.
    2).Once we acknowledge that what is being called a Referendum is located outside the boundaries of Legislation, other suspicious aspects come to light, such as adopting manufactured Philosophies like WOKE, Cancel Culture, BLM, Antifa, and of course the later the Voice, in.Australia, designed and exposed under a sheep skin. The weakness of non- scientific Humanities have allowed this to happen.
    3) It is obvious that Western Politics are not transparent, and Aboriginal Culture integrates a lot of avoidance: one of them being public speaking, which is even stronger among women. This makes 'genuine' Traditions defenceless and easy to manipulate. Transparency is consequently partly absent, when debates are supposed to take place.
    4) Différent dialects mean that English is not a first language for many. Aboriginal Communities of all sizes and locations had no leaders: a justification for no Treaty to be signed relying on Traditions.
    5) Traditions were mainly animist, and as such inspired by different animals behaviours, with DIFFERENT VOICES. To amalgamate this Culture into one Voice is an insult and is ignoring DNA Science, which is a Human transcript of the detailing of Nature, the earthen exposure of the Universe. Definition of concepts are played according to circumstances: band wagon strategy!
    6) Just as well as Religions are ignored and even disapproved by the authoritative Left, this affects others non Aboriginal (Balandas) to a lesser degree, but toxic Gurus' like methods get used. The dysfunctions and aggressivity of the radical Left are more and more obvious.
    6) Positive Radicalism is another expression that put aside Jungian Psychology associated with Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, which causes a global inner child syndrome: revolts motivated by a feeling of mental confinement, emphasised by the avoidance of the dark side. Positivism is non existant when 'shadows' are ignored, A GLOBAL TREND!
    Many non-scientific Humanities may not be considered as Science, when not using formulas, but are more scientific than Politics when falsified statistics get used, and geopolitics have hardly followed the evolutions of technology.
    Waking up is wOking out
    Colonialism Paternalism and now Self-realisation or Self-actualization.
