My rebuttal.....

1. "The world is watching". Australians too will be watching, whilst celebrating the exercise of the purest form of Democracy.

2. "...the long struggle for Indigenous rights..."
But this should never include having the right to special treatment under our Constitution.

3. "the oldest living culture...a say on its continuity"
Oh, ffs: Over-representation in the Parliament; billions of taxpayer dollars to over 3,000 Indigenous organisations; enormous goodwill from all Australians and their institutions....

4. "most of the [messages are] about us, without us."
That's because 97% of the population is not Aboriginal.

5. Next paragraph: Que?

6. "The racism they're seeing is among the worst they've witnessed". True. I know personally what it's like to be racially abused by a woke Leftist when addressing an issue of Aboriginal politics. Not nice.

7. "Indigenous people deserved so much better than the debate we were subjected to this year."
Agree 100%. Your Voice architects - all Indigenous - and the person who is our Prime Minister, made every mistake in the book in this regard, so it should have come as no surprise that the debate turned out this way. This was THEIR baby.
