This week marked 100days in office for Australia’s jet setting Prime Minister Albanese. He’s had agreat time enjoying countless international trips, a nice holiday and spent abit of time with some celebrities.
For the rest ofAustralia, this week marked 100 days of no action on cost of living, an energycrisis, worker shortages, food shortages, travel delays and woke identitypolitics.
The Albanesegovernment has no idea how to handle the real issues facing Australians, sothey are putting their energy into distractions.
Distractions liketheir so-called “Voice to Parliament”.
This “Voice” isnothing more than an exercise in divisive and woke identity politics that willhave no impact on the many real world issues facing remote communities.
It is an attempt todivide Australians along the lines the left loves so much.
Albanese says hisquestion is clear, but his details aren’t just vague, they’renon-existent.
He’s putting forwardthe question with absolutely no plan for what comes next.
No details on what iteven is, how it will work, no details on who appoints the body, no details onthe power and reach it will have. Nothing.
Nothing but a questiondesigned to guilt well-meaning Aussies, and a promise to “trust me, it’ll begood”.
I won’t trust anyonetrying to create a race-based approach to government.
Where does it stop? Dowe need voices for other groups too? Should there be a voice to parliament forimmigrants? Maybe an Indian Voice, a Voice for the African nations?
We are all Australiansand “from all the lands on earth we come”. We are proudly a nation of citizensfrom a range of backgrounds.
We are represented byone flag, as one people, with one voice, and each with one vote.
That’s what ourdemocracy is built on. The individual. The rights and freedoms of all citizens, equal before the law.
Enshrining a racialdivision into the Australian constitution is an affront to Australia’s corevalues.
This “Voice” seeks toset one group apart from all others based on nothing more than racial heritageand that must not be allowed to happen.
Regardless of thespin, regardless of pressure from the activist media, I entirely oppose theprospect of inserting race-based division into our Constitution and ourParliament.
Yours faithfully,
Alex Antic
Liberal Senator for South Australia
