The sad reality is that unless the Yes and No How to Vote campaigners were of first nations people, then the vote didn't really affect them - no reason for them not to get along, as the Voice would have had little to no impact to there lives - very sad day for the 3% of Australians that the Voice had a real meaning for.
Like our first nations people?
What’s the point. Will have to explain the whole thing over and over again with you. Waste of time
The Uluṟu statement is clear that constitutional recognition is bound to a voice to parliament. Albo put forward the proposal as intended by the people who created it.
Didn’t you just say the nation was divided but blamed it all on the No side?
The no campaign created the idea of a divided nation if the yes vote succeeded.
Here’s a snippet of the treaty section in the statement
Yeh true. He does spin around in circles at times.
Why move on? I hope people keep talking about this for a long time.
Why do we blame the politicians? Australians voted, many it seems, voted for something they didn't understand, those that did, seemed to accept Trump like falsehoods and outright lies rather than take the time to understand what was proposed and apply a systematic approach to information gathering and critical thinking - I am yet to meet a No voter who has read the wording of the proposed constitution change - most I have spoken to, whilst spending countless hours on-line, simply rely on Social Media for "information".
Agree, the International Court has ruled that Indigenous Peoples have rights - if the No Campaigners feared the consultative approach adopted by the Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islanders, then wait for Reconciliation by Arbitration - there's now a clear precedent that the Australian people do not want to consult.
Where was that in the referendum? You’re wetting the bed over something that wasn’t proposed
It's pretty straight forward DB. The divide the country argument is ridiculous, as the country is already divided. There's vast chunks of the country that you need a permit to enter which have communities that are currently governed by a combination of Aboriginal lore with the Australian Government able to sweep in to impose Australian laws when they choose. Many Aboriginal people ultimately want to self govern these communities without the government of the day coming up with "solutions", because there is a very understandable distrust of the Australian Government.
Already mentioned where it was. And if anyone’s wetting the bed and having little kid tantrums it’s you.
Drought Break - not sure where you got that statement from, but it wasn't part of the proposed wording change to the Constitution. The word Treaty simply does not appear in the proposal. You, like so many, have been sold a pup - pls take some time to look at the proposed wording and then consider more reliable sources of information before making decision that affect us all.
I posted the full Uluṟu statement earlier
You’ve shown how easily seemingly intelligent people can be misled by lies.
I feel the same about you. Goodnight
This is such a huge insult to the people who gave so much for this cause. Really poor.
Have fun down that rabbit hole.
Apologies for mis-interpreting - if you didn't want the Voice, then you are right to be concerned about a treaty. The more radical elements of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community have been given what they wanted, a platform for arbitration and anarchy, and after failing in their attempt at consultation, many more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are likely to be radicalized - be careful what you wish for.
We will have a treaty in Victoria. Other states will follow.
