Voice referendum a ‘complete con’ and ‘surrenders’ to extreme demands

The release of the Voice question has further fuelled the debate of the referendum and is becoming an argument between “reality and emotion,” says The Australian's Legal Affairs Contributor Chris Merritt.
“The reality is, the parliament, once this provision is in the constitution, can’t countermand it - it can regulate it, it can say well the Voice's advice should be on A4 pages, and it should go to this office, but it can’t say the Voice’s advice is not necessary for this agency and this department and this minister,” Mr Merritt told Sky News Australia.
“If it does, the high court, and there’s plenty of precedence on this, the high court will simply say, ‘well, that law is unconstitutional, strike it down’.
“It’s a complete con for anybody to try and say that legislation after the referendum could ease the adverse impact on the executive.
“It’s a surrender, it’s a complete surrender, it’s acquiescing to extreme demands by the working group.”

    The jab con was only the beginning and "the exercise" for all governments around the world to check how far they can push people and how much compliant people will become. Unfortunately a vast majority accepted all "scientific facts" presented by governments and "medical authorities" and were not brave enough to stand up and say "NO, enough is enough". I was hoping that this Voice referendum could become a turning and a wake up point for Australians, but unfortunately I'm afraid that it's to little to late to change a mentality of majority of Australian people for whom all mass media "information" is taken as a gospel. I really want to be wrong and still hope that NO vote will succeed.

    'The Voice' will inevitably open the dam walls on a plethora of Native Title claims which will result in every property owner in Australia having to pay rent. It means every Australian home owner and landlord will pay an extra tax (rent tax). They say we are on stolen land and therefore you are 'renters' a sign of goodwill to pay extra tax. It will depend on the value of your home. If you have say a 1.5 million house in Sydney you will probably pay .5 to 1% rent tax meaning >5 to 10k per year. Landlords will simply increase rent for tenants to cover the cost.

    The Prime Minister plainly misunderstands the legal impact of his proposed wording … Anthony Albanese misled parliament - and the people - when he said parliament would retain primacy over how the voice operated and what it considered. … [Professor George William] said: “That’s the point of putting things in the Constitution, it puts them beyond the parliament.” … Please Australians... do your due diligence before you vote.

It is probably just Indigenous elites filling their own pockets. ATSIC mark 2. Audit and fix the NIAA and forget the Voice. Needless duplication just so Elbow (Mr 29.8% of the primary vote) gets a Legacy. Another (of many) con jobs being foistered on the Australian people.

    ULURU STATEMENT FROM THE HEART:- Speaking about sovereignty in the 3rd paragraph. "It has never been ceded or extinguished, and co-exists with the sovereignty of the Crown". The 5th paragraph:- With substantive constitutional change and structural reform, we believe this ancient sovereignty can shine through as a fuller expression of Australia’s nationhood. The issue of a constitutional inclusion of the voice goes to the heart of sovereignty. South Australia just announced the legislative changes for the voice. That is a gov body to be established and can be extinguished if South Australia rescinds the legislation. This is no more or less than an act of Parliament and has no effect on sovereignty. The referendum goes to sovereignty… Voting NO is becoming an obligation. Just vote NO

    @@ClaireOgle-tl9kg Hi Claire, I am very pleased to respond to intelligent questions. I have three lists for you. The first list is South Australia and the second list is National. If you get to the end, there is a third list. You are very welcome to copy and share the information. It puts a spotlight on the failure, no attempt here to look for the good, the point is they were aboriginal voices that were not heard above the political noise. The Voice at state level or National level will be more of the same. The only difference is the National level will enshrine the Voice into the Constitution. Let's ask a serious question, I pose the question for others to determine for themselves. "What would have happened to Australia if any one of the following 10 bodies was enshrined into the constitution." South Australian Aboriginal Bodies:- 1. Adelaide Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement (ALRM) (1990-2014): Founded in 1990, the ALRM provided legal aid services and representation to Indigenous people in South Australia. It closed down in 2014 due to financial difficulties and lack of resources. 2. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) (1990-2005): Established in 1990, ATSIC was a national body representing the interests of Indigenous Australians. It was abolished in 2005 due to government concerns about its mismanagement and lack of accountability. 3. Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement (SA) (1990-2010): Founded in 1990, ALRM (SA) provided legal advice and representation to Indigenous people in South Australia. It closed down in 2010 due to increasing financial difficulties and lack of resources. 4. Aboriginal Inland Mission (AIM) (1990-2013): Founded in 1990, AIM provided educational and social services to Aboriginal people in South Australia. It closed down in 2013 due to a lack of support and funding. 5. Aboriginal Health Council of South Australia (1990-2012): Founded in 1990, the Health Council provided support and assistance to Aboriginal people in South Australia. It closed down in 2012 due to a lack of government funding and resources. National Aboriginal Bodies:- 1. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission (ATSIC) - Established in 1990, ATSIC was the first government body to represent the interests of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It was abolished in 2005 due to allegations of financial mismanagement and lack of transparency. 2. National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Council (NATSIHC) - Founded in 1989, NATSIHC was intended to improve the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It was abolished in 2003 due to poor performance and lack of accountability. 3. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Council (ATSIEAC) - Established in 1993, ATSIEAC was responsible for improving the educational outcomes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. It was disbanded in 2004 after its effectiveness was questioned. 4. National Indigenous Council (NIC) - Established in 2004, the NIC was set up to provide advice to the government on Indigenous issues. It was abolished in 2007 due to a lack of progress and failure to meet its objectives. 5. National Congress of Australia’s First Peoples (NCAFP) - Founded in 2010, the NCAFP was intended to be a voice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It was disbanded in 2017 due to controversy surrounding its leadership and lack of progress. The above organisations have start dates and closing down dates. The list does not include the current Aboriginal bodies that are in effect today. I counted approximately 50 bodies. As a conclusion, it is apparent that what has happened with these bodies is over simplified just to make the point. There is no single point of contact to begin to address these issues. Aboriginal people are represented in every echelon of society, from the political elite to the most marginalised. The solution to this is being touted as a Voice in the Constitution. Many thousand of words is emotionally pleaded for the constitutional change. Is that logical, is that sensible and is that reasonable? Australia is a society, it is not homogenous, it is heterogeneous:- that means composed of parts or elements of different kinds, qualities, or origins. Promoting separateness on race will do harm. The solution is not easy but could easily be led my Aboriginal and non Aboriginal people. I have another list of objectives that work for a civil society that is more than jingoism. 1. Increase Social Interaction: Encourage members of different groups to interact with each other in social settings such as schools, workplaces, and community events. This type of interaction will help foster understanding and mutual respect between different groups. 2. Celebrate Diversity: Celebrate the distinct cultural, religious, and ethnic backgrounds of different groups. Showing appreciation for diversity can help build bridges between different groups and create a more unified society. 3. Promote Equality: Promote a culture of equality by advocating for equal rights, opportunities, and access to resources for all members of society. 4. Encourage Dialogue: Encourage dialogue between different groups to help foster understanding and cooperation. This can be done through meetings, seminars, and other events that bring together different groups. 5. Support Local Organisations: Support local organisations that promote unity and understanding between different groups. These organisations can provide resources and guidance to help bridge the gap between different groups. Simplistic - YES. But it is the right place to start. I will vote no, The voice is not a solution I can see.
