Disgusting. If the no campaign had valid concerns based in reality, they wouldn't need to whip up scare stories based in fantasy

A reminder that the party who ran a years-long criminal government enterprise targeting poor and vulnerable people (including driving some to die), are the same party calling for a No vote in Australia’s referendum

”Here you have a person announcing a decision about a major proposal to improve Indigenous lives and he’s quoting anonymous people and saying that he’s been to that community once and he knows what Indigenous people need.”

The fact that the Opposition Leader thinks that speaking to a couple of people in the street should form public policy on constitutional reform shows why the Voice is needed.

Dutton says the Liberal Party will campaign against the #VoiceToParliament.

This will bind front benchers, but backbenchers can vote with their conscience.

Please ask your local member whether they support the Voice, and please publish the results

"Thorpe signalled she will continue to argue against constitutional recognition and the Voice “advisory body with no power”, warning that there are “progressive nos” who oppose it “for good reason” …

"Asked if she planned to start a new political party or what structure her movement would take, Thorpe replied that “it’ll look like what the Blak Sovereign movement tell me that it looks like”.

"“There’s definitely quite a big movement of people … experts like [lawyer] Irene Watson from South Australia … academic Chelsea Watego, [writer] Ronnie Gorrie, Ted Wilkes, Nyungar from WA … it’s right across this country."

@wellfairer

It’s the #VoiceToParliament that’s the main concern right now.

Given that it will take an act of parliament to initiate #TheVoice referendum, and given that the Greens & Pocock are in favour and Thorpe currently against, that appears to put the fate of the referendum in the hands of Jacqui Lambie.

Breaking: Senator Lidia Thorpe has quit the federal Greens after failing to find common ground with her party on a Voice to Parliament.

She will now sit in the Senate as an independent. Her Senate term expired 30 June 2028.

Labor senator and Aboriginal elder Patrick Dodson, in a speech yesterday (4 February 2023), said:

"There are some out there who are pressing for more detail. They will never get enough ... Our political process is in the parliament, and that’s where the detail is always settled and proposed. So don’t get distracted by the call for more detail …

"I hope that Australians will respond generously to this very simple request as the first step in us fixing things."

He stressed that reconciliation would go further, towards treaty and truth telling.

"The nation’s peak body representing culturally diverse communities has criticised the voice to parliament no campaign’s push for constitutional recognition of migrants as “offensive” and “divisive”, saying they never asked for or discussed such a possibility …

"Carlo Carli, the chair of Federation of Ethnic Communities Councils of Australia (Fecca), the peak body representing people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, said constitutional recognition for migrants was an interesting concept but a “red herring” in this context, and he would oppose “pitting ethnic communities against our First Nations people”.

"Carli said Fecca supported the voice and the Uluru statement, and called Mundine’s proposal “surprising”."

Everyone in Australia who is not Indigenous is a migrant or descended from a migrant. The No campaign proposal to recognise migrants as well as Indigenous people in the constitution is both-siding, and the most blatant distraction yet.

I think this position is a mistake. The far left shouldn't call for a "no" vote, this will only provide left wing cover for a no campaign that will be entirely racist in its composition. Campaign FOR #Treaty rather than AGAINST the #VoiceToParliament.
