"What the Voice challenges us to do is finally to engage in truth telling and transcend the profound differences between the cultures. That is why the issue is beyond politics. First Nations peoples in the Uluru Statement from the Heart requested that the Voice be enshrined in the Australian Constitution.

But the process symbolises something much deeper – an acknowledged reconciliation between two groups of peoples who have reached across a divide to share a unique place together – Australia."

If #Whitlam and his advisers had understood #modernmonetarytheory (#MMT, although it was not formulated until decades later) there would likely have been no loans affair.
Central to MMT is the principle that a #monetarysovereignnation is one with (i) its own #currency; (ii) a #floatingexchangerate; (iii) #nosignificantborrowings in a #foreigncurrency; and (iv) its own #centralbank to create the money it needs.
