The Voice

It's good to see the Libs aren't made of the same ovine substance that pervades the ALP and its followers

Hard to vote on something that we don't know the full details of - maybe you should be questioning the ALP's transparency on this matter

So until Albo and his Beagle Boys come clean on some substance - these are the sort of rumours that are flying about

The rumoured list of the demands if The Voice gets up:
• Aborigines paying only 50 per cent the rate of income tax;
• Aboriginal groups owning beaches and national parks, and charging the rest of us to use them;
• 10 per cent of all judges, magistrates, police officers, ADF officers, vice chancellors and ambassadors to be Aboriginal;
• no entry tests and no fees for Aborigines going to university;
• 50 per cent discounts for Aborigines going to sport and music events on public land;
• Aborigines to have first claim on all public housing in Australia;
• reduced age of eligibility for the aged pension for Aborigines;
• rivers and streams to be owned by local Aborigines, who will charge the rest of us for water consumption;
• the same for mining royalties;
• all new liquor licences to be vetted by the voice; and
• the voice office being the same size, and having the same budget, as the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet.

It is said, the NIAA has been quick to deny this ‘action list’ for the voice, and no wonder!

If any these demands were met, 97 per cent of Australians would be made second-class citizens based solely on race. However, minutes of government organisations meetings with Aboriginal groups around the country obtained through a freedom of information request show these sort of demands are being discussed.

These include:
• exclusive sovereignty for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people over land and waters;
• creating a new Aboriginal state from land under native title, with its own constitution;
• a treaty or treaties recognised in the Australian Constitution;
• racially-exclusive designated seats in Parliament reserved only for Aborigines;
• Aborigines to receive a fixed percentage of all Australian gross national product; • Aborigines to be exempted from paying land tax; • funding for the voice to Parliament to be generated from percentages of land and water taxes;
• funding for Aboriginal bodies and programs to be linked to reparations for “theft of land”; • creation of a ‘black Parliament’;
• a race-based rent tax from “an open cheque book”;
• race-based “inherent” rights for Aboriginal people in the Australian Constitution;
• renaming more towns and landmarks after Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people;
• the creation of “sovereign wealth” exclusively for Aborigines;
• Australian taxpayers to fund the preservation of Aboriginal languages;
• changing the Australian flag because it “symbolises the injustices of colonisation”;
• tearing down statues of explorers;
• enshrining Aboriginal “traditional ways of life” in the Constitution;
• changing the curriculum in all schools for non-indigenous Australians;
• “de-colonising” Australia; and
• fee-free access for Aborigines to sport and recreation, including free sporting equipment.

Like the demands contained in this list, many of these would also make most Australians second-class citizens in our own country. The 4.5 billion dollar NIAA has been actively discussing them with Aboriginal groups for years. These are the dangers of putting the voice to Parliament in the Constitution. For these and many other reasons, it’s why Australians must vote NO in Anthony Albanese’s racist referendum.

Hard to vote on something that we don't know the full details of - . ....... this is true.... and it's very hard to trust pollies who rely exclusively on empty rhetoric.

I like your rumours.... a most apt descriptive of the anti-V mob spin. the rumours are pretty outrageous and it's not surprising that people who lend credibility to such nonsense can be swayed them.

the NIAA is a Gov bureaucracy, not a true representative of Aboriginal views or the Voice. yes no bloomin' wonder they denied the preposterous list of rumours.

but people will believe what they want to believe.

I';m sure you have the intelligence to see through such nonsense
