So says Lidia Thorpe. Said that it is just appeasing white guilt and was ashamed not to be voting on a proposal to deliver a treaty and Indigenous seats in Parliament.
At least she is honest and her complaint is that we are not going quick enough to the ultimate goal which will include reparations.
So vote yes at your peril, because it's only the start.
As always, Jacinta Price nails it.
Opposition Indigenous Australians senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price said if the referendum was successful, Australia would be divided forever.
She asked Australians to look at the route of the government’s proposal for a voice.
“Ask themselves if they truly believe that this is the answer? Will an extra layer of bureaucracy and red tape do anything more to help Indigenous Australians? Will a Canberra body of academic experts do anything more to close the gap … (or) bring us closer together?” Senator Nampijinpa Price said.
She said Anthony Albanese mocked concerns raised about the voice but the reality was he could not guarantee it wouldn’t advise on matters like submarines and parking tickets.
“The Prime Minister wants us to blindly trust him to allow his blank cheque – he cannot guarantee anything,” Senator Nampijinpa Price said.
