"In your view.

In my view there are ZERO "good reasons" to vote yes, the most divisive stupid rot I've ever seen any Government push.

Circa $39B is already spent on this issue to no avail this will just mean more snouts in the trough. The lisping houso has really out done himself with this one.

Eternal handwringing when will it stop ? Oz is fast moving to a second world country due to this bed wetting rot.

The Voice is an act of recognition and consultation.
Recognition in the Constitution, which was written by white (male) settlers and deliberately excluded the original inhabitants. Recognising that First Nations people existed in Australia before white settlers arrived will not change your life one iota.
Consultation by politicians and bureaucrats with First Nations people, from remote areas up, about policies that impact their lives via an advisory committee called The Voice is a pretty simple and obvious way to improve service delivery and outcomes. Keep in mind that politicians can then choose to ignore the Voice advice, or accept it - it the feedback is non-binding. This FACT is obviously contrary to the myriad of frankly insane conspiracy theories about The Voice that people either ignorant or devious are peddling.

If, per your above, your main opposition to the Voice is that there is enough money already being spent on First Nations people (in itself a contentious statement with no context v non-indigenous, etc), then you should appreciate that politicians and bureaucrats being better informed about what policies are needed for First Nations people should lead to better tailored spending and better outcomes, not neccesarily INCREASED spending.

Imagine. Better informed investment => better outcomes. What a radical idea.
