I agree and add there should have been a more purposive audit to investigate the productivity commission report in '17 the showed that of the $33bn found in the Aboriginal funding pool only $6bn was dedicated to direct Aboriginal services/orgs and the remainder were channels of funds to state/territories for services to the broader community. this share of the funds was inadequately described.
I also want an explanation as to why the Morrison Gov did nothing with that information - were they wanting to hide that information? was the money going to slush funds? why was the far greater sum not going through proper funds and instead being directed to book up the Aboriginal services claim of excessive wasted money?
so many questions arise from that report that have never been explained.
what though is meant by "usurping bureaucrats"? are you suggesting massive amounts were being siphoned off to bureaucrats personally? is there a suggestion that bureaucrats were using funds to undermine, or even over-riding, parliamentary authority for some nefarious purpose?
c certainly the NIAA achieved nothing significant since the creation of the body as either politicians ignored the data and advices of the body or the advices were so pathetic and misguided that nothing was effective - this asks the question of why was the body so ineffective in advocating for Aboriginal people and services?
your reply seems angry at YES voting people. I would like to understand if this is the case and why the YES vote inspires such emotion?
imo the divisiveness was entirely at the actions of Dutton rejecting the Voice in the first place. it wouldn't have caused division had Dutton abided by his party policy and supported the referendum.
