‘Ad nauseum’ we are being told to vote in the Voice referendum which is the most important change in our short 120-year constitutional history.
How many of us know (i.e. have even read) what our ‘White British Constitution’ says or purports to stand for?
But now we are being urged to vote for a ‘pig in the poke’ – ‘Vote Yes for Change or No if You Don’t Know’.
I wish I could say or report this was not happening, but it is. And the destruction will be immense.
Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
Pig in a poke indeed T. Sharples. You hit the nail square on the head. It makes me quite scared what the real agenda is. It can be legislated without changing the constitution. I suggest the truth about proceedings after the voice will be the kicker. Vote on the safe side, a big NO.
An dissolved just as quickly like what Howard did to astic. This way there will always be a voice designed and agreed upon by parliament not this conspiracy theory crap. Kiss principal.
What are you scared about Greg? Fear of missing out like a shorter life expectancy experienced by indigenous people or the fact that with land rights granted we still have our backyards and the sky didn’t fall in.
If the government would dictate what powers the voice would have, then any future government could legislate that it has no powers nor rights, which would be the political equivalent of it not existing. So your argument doesn’t make sense.
Rod, Blah, Blah Blah. Slow down, you are not making sense. Safer than locking in a perpetual mess into the constitution. Wake up Rod, there are better ways. Yeh right, great land rights. One time anyone could travel this great country freely, un questioned. Now many places are banning entry unless you cough up the dollars to enter. This is and never has been an acceptable way for the Aussie people to accept. The voice will only encourage this nonsense further, and expand into greater impositions upon the population. Division is the only description of the voice. And empty our wallets to fund a minority.
What is. This better way people mention like in the no brochure for the referendum: nothing there just says there is a better way with nothing added. Where do you have to cough up dollars to enter? National parks have had fees for yonks, where else? And we have filled our wallets out of this minority.
Split off a separate country for them. They can have all the sovereignty and self-governance they want once it won’t affect us, and we don’t have to pay for their mistakes/corruption.
