#JohnHoward insulted indigenous Australians at #ReconciliationConvention1997.

He abolished #ATSIC.

He opposed the #StolenGeneration Apology.

His racist #NorthernTerritoryIntervention was a violation of #InternationalLaw.

#PeterDutton continues the tradition by leading opposition to the #VoiceToParliament.

There was NEVER any doubt they would oppose the Voice.

"The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission was the Australian Government body through which Aboriginal Australians and Torres Strait Islanders were formally involved in the processes of government affecting their lives, established under the Hawke government in 1990." Wikipedia

ATSIV = ATSIC Mk 11 and will be just as effective.

The problem with having a Voice to Parliament is that Money talks louder than words. ATSIV will take money from the government while those who want power in this country give money to the government.

Nothing will change.

#ATSIC #TheVoice

I support consitutional recognition & a new attempt to form #ATSIC or #TheVoice or whatever you'd like to call it.

I don't support putting the advisory body in the constitution.

In my opinion, setting an advisory body in stone is not what the #constitution is meant to intended to do.

If a new body is shown to be effective & not susceptible to the problems that affected ATSIC then we could enshrine it in our founding document.

Mostly because people are slow to react, I bet I know more about canadian Hip Hop than anyone on this app.

If you think you've got me beat I want to follow you.

My mix show #ATSIC is an hour of new release indie rap from across the country every week.
