I just read the text of the proposed amendment for the Australian Constitution:
https://www.aec.gov.au/referendums/learn/the-question.html
I can totally understand Indigenous Australians who claim that it doesn't go nearly far enough.
All the important bits are left up to parliament.
That said I still encourage everyone to #voteyestovoice because conservatives will claim that a no will mean everything is hunky dory, and no further action is required on Aboriginal and Torres Islander autonomy.
"Sky News just launched a campaign designed to undermine and intimidate fact-checkers and journalists from the RMIT and the ABC.1
And Facebook caved to the pressure, suspending RMIT FactLab from its fact-checking program.
Right now, what's standing in the way of the lies and scare-mongering peddled by the 'no-alition' and the Murdoch Press are journalists doing their job and debunking their lies. “ #pleasesign https://getup.to/14g2mvtQzEcQoqU9

Allowing the Murdoch Press to spread fear and lies unopposed – especially on social media, our modern public square – is tainting the integrity of our referendum. " #VoteYestoVoice #sign #petition #getup

Absolutely brilliant article about work on the #Voice #Referendum. These two men are legendary in their own right and together make a formidable force for the greater good.
They are right about the deliberate noise and confusion from Liberal and some indigenous figures. You have to ask why...

Say no more. What a tawdry little bunch of n'er-do-wells.

I will #voteyestovoice because a "no" means we make our Indigenous communities stay exactly as they are even longer. And that isn't acceptable.
#Dutton #jacintanampijinpaprice and co are playing those communities. It is disgusting to see the politicising of an issue around people already damaged by white settler policy.

Dutton’s voice stance doesn’t protect Indigenous people. The no campaign is already scaring them https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/apr/06/duttons-voice-stance-doesnt-protect-grassroots-indigenous-people-the-no-campaign-is-already-scaring-them?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
Time to speak up & say #voteyestovoice
@feather1952 I'm an older australian too and I'm definitely voting yes for an indigenous voice to parliament.
