   Getting sick of this constant elevation of one race over another. Aren’t we all meant to be equal, not judged by the colour of our skin or some of our ancestry?

   Two people, who are not indigenous, are speaking on behalf of “First Nations” … which in the case of Australia were neither first, nor nations.

   Those people speaking on behalf of others are talking about a “voice” which they give to others … but none of them are interested in listening to Price who is at least half indigenous, because her voice is saying what they don’t want to hear.

   The Maori arrived in NZ around 1200 years ago, much to the disappointment of the original inhabitants who the Maori thought were delicious. They should be referred to as second nation people, not first nation.

   Penny can learn from Ardern how to tank in the polls. Good to see Act is up to 11 percent now.

   I seriously doubt that this Voice thing will get across the line. Then again, people keep surprising me with their level of stupidity.

   It’s highly unlikely the Maori would have survived the 19th century had they not been colonised by the English and converted to Christianity. About the only thing they were good at was killing each other. Even when the Moriori escaped to the Chatham Islands, the Maori followed them there and killed them all.

   I also doubt this thing will get across the line. The spruikers will overdo it.
   Many Nations people have enough nagging voices already.

   It’s a silly term, The Voice. It appeared in the word-salads of Ms Markle.

   I’m Dreaming of The Voice,
   The Voice in my head,
   It’s there Noon and Night, and
   Won’t let me rest in Bed!

   Wong and Ardern; two despicable peas in a pod.

   People outside NZ don’t know or understand the massive tide of public resentment against Ardern at home.
   One of my sisters who has lived there many years confirms that it is a fact.

   Her Maorifying everything and consequent stirring up of division in the population has done immense damage to Ardern’s popularity.
   People don’t appreciate being forced to learn a language that no one else in the world outside some in the Maori community speak.

   Meanwhile, lefty luvvies here and overseas continue to figuratively brown-nose Ardern.

    Nothing amazes me these days when someone like Dictator Dan can get reelected to a third term after the most crushing two years in Victorian history – solely due to him.

    Belter of a headline again, C.L.
    I look forward to a missive on Ardern’s growing propensity for Gaddafi-esque dress-ups.

    Hoping to see Arden ardently bundled out by voters

    I seriously doubt that this Voice thing will get across the line. Then again, people keep surprising me with their level of stupidity.

    I fully expect it to pass because, like gay marriage, it will be sold on purely emotional terms to an electorate of whom almost none have the slightest understanding of constitutional issues. My only hope after that is that it will fail in implementation when the rush for all that free money and status begins.
