    But of course, Malguardian Turnbull is not a lefty.

    No. I don’t think I’ll be buying what they’re selling.

    He was never a Conservative.

    He’s really not much of anything at all.

    Ahh, Malcolm Trumble, embodies everything about the voice, takes a small target approach, not what it represents itself to be, consistently contradicts itself, willing to prostitute any values it might have claimed to espouse, cosies up to extremists, gets caught lying but shamelessly doesn’t care anyway, is willing to sell out the very people it claims to represent and will only reveal its true agenda when you can’t take it back.

    Ernie Dingo hits out at Indigenous Australians voting No at the Voice to Parliament referendum

    Stan, Noel and Ernie.
    Angry, vengeful men.

    It’s an odd argument for professional politicians to make. We need to listen to Aboriginal people.

    Albo has been in parliament for 27 years, he’s been opposition leader, minister, deputy prime minister and prime minister.

    Why hasn’t he been listening to Aboriginal people?

  16. Christine says:
    31 August, 2023 at 7:43 am

    Yes, not one politician has acknowledged that he/she failed to listen.
    Not one will declare that billions of dollars made little difference.

    It is noted that Pearson, Grant and Dingo are angry, vengeful men; the facade drops, tempers explode and they reveal themselves by their bullying.

    Noel and Ernie are hitting out at the wrong people. Big government hasn’t solved their problems for more than 50 years. More of it will only further entrench the problem. The indigenous communities need leadership, mostly from within, to take control of their destiny. Stop waiting for handouts and sinecures, start doing things. Governments won’t solve your problems, you are the only ones who can do that.

    A Letter to The Editor from Jennifer Short,

    There’s some fascinating tacit admissions in Jim Chalmers’ column, (“The voice to help more Aussies share in fair go”, 31/08). In saying “The Voice is about recognition and listening”, Jim implies that the existing multitude of dedicated indigenous agencies haven’t effectively recognised and listened to indigenous people. That is, they’ve failed. Shouldn’t they be disbanded now, Jim?

    In saying “By listening to First Nations communities, the Voice will help ensure money gets to the communities where it will have the most impact”, Jim implies the $100 million per day we’re currently spending isn’t going where it should. So where is it going, Jim? Shouldn’t we be having a Royal Commission into that?

    In saying “Just four out of 19 targets in the framework are listed as “on track”, Jim admits that the multi-billion dollar National Indigenous Australians Agency, which already does the role of the Voice, has failed. So why would a near-identical organisation work, Jim? That doesn’t pass the pub test.

    As to the great footballer Jonathon Thurston, I’d take football advice from him in a heartbeat but for Constitutional advice I’d be looking for someone who understands the long-term consequences for indigenous people and the rest of Australia from this Constitutional change, because from my own research it could ultimately place native title lands under UN control.

    Welcome to the Coalition of Peaks

    We are a representative body of more than 80 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled peak organisations and members, representing some 800 organisations. We came together as an act of self-determination to be formal partners with Australian governments and share in decision-making on Closing the Gap to improve the life outcomes of our people.

    Our authority is derived from our extensive membership base of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled organisations with their generations of commitment to advancing the interests of, and delivering services to, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

    The Coalition of Peaks, together with all Australian governments and the Australian Local Government Association, signed the National Agreement on Closing the Gap (National Agreement) on 27 July 2020.

    The National Agreement has been built around what Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people said is important to improve our lives.

    Strangely, in the Referendum debate, I haven’t heard a peep about why the Coalition of Peaks and all levels of Australian government have failed to achieve any benefit – or how the Voice will achieve any better outcomes.

    Perhaps Uncle Luigi will explain all this in the next six weeks.

    Yes, and an eerie silence in the land about the source of the push and about its ultimate hideously ugly and evil design.

    Ask Turnbull if the Voice is likely to turn out like Snowy Hydro. If its half as bad it will be a disaster.

    Coalition of the Perks, hey. Could be over target Cali.

    Meet our team. Every single one of them has snouts firmly in taxpayers or “charity” NGO’s or the grievance industry (See thee lawyer). The definition of a charity/non profit org needs to be very much tightened up.

    On another note note similar, one of our local councillors used to flag a “charity” she ran much like this one. Produced nothing of substance but “linked” charities to each other. Her hubby ran a very successful business, one can’t help thinking it was a nice tax dodge.

    Be interesting to see the money trail to and from this one.

    Good question. KAP’s not going for it:

    In 2013 the nats actually put up a viable candidate against Katter who only survived as the local aboriginal communities were 90% in his favour. They apparently fondly remember the work he did for them in the Bejlke Peterson government when he was the state member and indigenous affairs Minister.
    The world can be a surprising place and things don’t always fit assumptions..

    Every confidence trickster starts out by being your best friend.

    In this case though, I think the mask slipped a little too early and it’s gonna be rather difficult for Noel to cover that up now.

    A Letter to The Editor from Jennifer Short

    To comment on “Vote yes and details follow”, 01/09
    –

    The Constitution is the citizens’ contract with their federal government. Some argue it’s not, but it’s right there in the very first paragraph: “Whereas the people … have agreed to unite in one indissoluble Federal Commonwealth … under the Constitution hereby established”. That agreement is the contract and the rest of the Constitution is the terms and conditions.

    Albo and his comrades are nonchalantly telling us we should change the terms and conditions of our contract with the federal government without fully explaining the long-term consequences of that change, (“Vote yes and details follow”, 01/09). Informed researchers, including several of indigenous descent, are warning clearly that the proposed change could cost us dearly while not actually improving anything for indigenous Aussies.

    Given the general incompetence of politicians and bureaucrats displayed over the last few decades, the precautionary principle suggests we vote No.

    “precautionary principle”.

    Wonderful, throw the bogus terminology of the leftards back in their faces.
