Perhaps some should consider the history of Aboriginal people in Australia and then consider why they so desperately want a Voice in Parliament and why they so desperately want a say in their own future!

"For much of Australia’s political history, tens of thousands of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people couldn’t vote in state or federal elections. In 1962 the Australian Parliament passed a landmark Act to give all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people the option to enrol and vote in federal elections."

Were aboriginal people not equal to other Australians before 1962?
