The 'special power' of having a voice on legislation that affects them.

You could do the same thing with ANY group then. How about a voice for men given men have unique issues (die earlier, higher suicides etc.) what about a voice for older people (health issues, loneliness etc). A Voice for women, a voice for younger people etc etc. Every group is different and has unique issues. That’s what the parliament is for - a voice for everyone, irrespective of race or gender.

Standard right wing rhetoric. Thanks for confirming.

I know this is just a continuation of an older thread, but it does seem odd to have the prefix "Roast" on this thread with the updated subject heading....

Yep. Fixed.

Saying the parliament represents all Australians (which it does - literally) is right-wing rhetoric? It’s a simple statement of fact. You’re just responding with partisan talking points, evidenced by the lack of word count in the response. Seven words. No real thought or ability shown to mount any argument.
 
Only two questions need to be asked:

1. Will it help race relations in this institutionally racist country? Yes
2. Will it have a negative effect on white Australians at all? No

Pretty easy vote given the above

It's because I'm not going to waste my time engaging.

Club is also announcing continued support for First People's Assembly of Victoria and Treaty for Victoria

Bombers help First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria raise awareness on Treaty for Victoria​

The partnership aims to provide a platform to raise awareness about Treaty.

The Essendon Football Club is committed to recognising, respecting and celebrating the unique relationship Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have with this great place we all call home.

As such, the Essendon Football Club is proud to announce their continued partnership with the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria in 2023.

The partnership, aligned with Essendon’s Dreamtime at the ‘G game – a key fixture of the AFL’s Sir Doug Nicholls Round – and coinciding with the Victorian Treaty Elections, aims to provide a platform to raise awareness about Treaty.

Treaty forms part of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which calls for three key things: Voice, Treaty and Truth.

Bangerang and Wiradjuri Elder, Aunty Geraldine Atkinson, the co-chair of the First Peoples’ Assembly of Victoria said she couldn’t wait for the Dreamtime match.

“Ours is the oldest living culture in the world and I just love seeing it shared and celebrated. This is a deadly jumper design and of course I’m thrilled to see Treaty for Victoria getting a run this year at the Dreamtime game.

The Dreamtime match is a great event and this year it coincides with our Treaty Elections, so it’s just perfect to have the teams helping to spread the word.

We need all mob in or from Victoria to know they are welcome on the journey to Treaty. We need Aboriginal people to have their say and choose the people who will represent mob proudly in the upcoming Treaty negotiations.

This is an important time. For many generations our people have been fighting for Treaty, a chance to make sure we have the freedom and power to make the decisions that affect our lives. And now Treaty is very much within our reach – negotiations are going to start later this year.”

Leanne Brooke, Essendon Football Club’s Executive General Manager of Community, Indigenous Affairs and The Long Walk, added her personal sentiment, commenting that “Treaty is extremely important. It puts self-determination and Aboriginal peoples and communities at the centre of decisions and policies that affect our everyday lives.

As a Gunditjmara and Keeray Wurrung woman living and working in Naarm, a process grounded in culture and lore and designed by Aboriginal people gives me hope and optimism that the First Peoples of Victoria will create a future where our mobs can make a real difference in our communities.”

The Essendon Football Club encourages our community to engage in the conversation and learn more about Treaty.

All eligible Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from or in Victoria are welcome to cast their votes to choose the people who will negotiate the first Treaty in Australia.

Aunty Geraldine Atkinson continues, “So if you’re mob and you’re over 16, please show your support and have your say in the Treaty Elections, because your vote matters.”

The Treaty for Victoria elections will take place from May 18 to June 3, 2023.
