Legislation of the Voice is beginning to look like the lesser of two evils. If people could see how it operates for a period of say two years before the referendum is reintroduced, surely the lies of the no campaign would be laid bare. Not that it would change the mind of racists and bigots, but you’d like to think reasonable people who have been swayed by Dutton and Murdoch’s lies would swing back. #SomethingMustBeDone #YesToTheVoice

For those people who assure us ‘I’m not a racist’ but Spud makes some compelling points, please try this experiment on #SorryDay

1. Find a couple of first home buyers who have repeatedly failed to secure the purchase of a home - they might even be your family or friends.

Say ‘Sorry’ for their situation and ask if there’s anything the government could do to make it better. Note carefully whether the foundations of your own home shake as a result.

2. Find a family who has recently lost their rental home and is now homeless because they can’t afford the latest rent hike or maybe they’ve had work hours arbitrarily cut.

Say ‘Sorry’ that they are not to blame for the situation they are in and ask what would make things better for them in this period of crisis. See whether your roof leaks in response to your humanity.

3. Find a victim of sexual assault who’s case failed because the defence counsel of the accused individual or organisation found a legal loophole to indemnify the (allegedly) guity party.

Say ‘Sorry’ and ask whether the process could have been handled better. Hope that in future we might become a fairer and less brutal society. Realise you could just have helped someone you love.

4. Read the #UluruStatementFromTheHeart and listen to the #YesToTheVoice case.

‘Nonsensical’: Indigenous leaders say no point in regional voices without national body

@abcthedrum Warren Mundine shows himself to be loud mouthed, thin skinned and manipulative. I hate to think that remote communities may be influenced by him. #YesToTheVoice

@sjbone The thing that brought that home to me was when #Dutton said on ABC that he'd be quite happy to sit at a table with #Albanese and talk things through about #Voice

No
It's not for YOU to decide Spuddo.. that's the entire point.

White men like you have had enough time over 2 centuries to give a voice to 1st Nations and you've failed.
It's their turn now.

The Albanese Government took the Uluru Statement from the Heart to the last election, and has an electoral mandate to implement it.

Whether you like it or not.
