Hey David Witney (Letters, 30 August), the Constitution was written by colonisers for colonisers. Us white people. Settlers.
It doesn’t mention our First Nations people anywhere! Over 80 per cent of mob want recognition in the Constitution.
The Voice is a one-page document of 440 words written by mob for mob. Written completely by Elders of mob from all over this country.
Sitting together over a two-year period of meetings just to create the Voice to parliament. Eighty per cent of mob want this Voice. The Indigenous population of Australia is around 3.8 per cent.
As everyone votes in a referendum, this means once again, and as usual, the colonisers hold all the power in decision-making for our First Nations people.
‘No Happy Horse Shit’ – the/we colonisers hold the position of power. Support the majority of mob in ‘their’ decision to support the Voice; vote ‘Yes’.
The practical difference is for mob, not you. Support our First Nations people.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
