Ban all cars

A referendum isn’t needed to consult with people.

And people shouldn’t be included/excluded from consultation just because of their race/culture/heritage.

I believe that all Australians should have representation to parliament. I don’t believe that anybody should have a ‘birthright’ to more representation just because of the family lineage they were born into.

I believe that any time the government is going to introduce or change laws, they should consult with the people those laws will affect. Regardless of the race or culture of those people.

No worries. Ban the trucks and get an electric bike.

Could they have just tried to do so without a constitutional change? Probably.

Not probably. Definitely.

If the concern is that a body not enshrined in the constitution might be abolished by a future government, the same future government would just shrink a constitutionally established voice down to the bare minimum and ignore it, rendering it useless. Either way, the only real solution is to not elect shit governments in the future.

But my opinion is that it would provide overall more help than harm

I personally don’t believe it will provide help than harm. I believe the Voice a step towards an Australia in which people of different races are treated differently and racial discrimination is enshrined in our laws, and that is not something I desire.

If you did, you would acknowledge differences.

Yeah, that’s right mate, I don’t acknowledge differences. I think all people are exactly the same, down to their fingerprints. I don’t care about anybody because there are zero differences at all. You got me. Real sharp you are.

If some group of individuals require substantially different medical treatment because their biology is that different to everybody else’s, then the people who should be consulted are scientific and medical experts, not more politicians. You do not need to enshrine a racist body into the constitution to be able to meet the different needs of different people.

Racism is the idea that your race is better than others

Racism is descriminating on the basis of race, which this proposed ammendment would do, and you appear to support.

So vote yes, so there is someone to consult.

You do not need a racist advisory body enshrined in the constitution to be able to consult with people.

You don’t need the Voice to be able to respect aboriginal culture and history or pass along stories.

I also don’t support statues glorifying slave traders.

How far is the train station?
