[QUOTE="Philip_B, post: 77364830, member: 389027"] We live in an ineptocracy. We get people in offices to send memos to people in offices to send memos to people in offices, and then collate all this to form a committee to review all this and then form a sub-committee who in turn get people in offices to send memos to people in offices .... Governments are not good at spending money. We invested millions of millions to support struggling people in the pandemic, and we did such a good job of it that the 200 wealthiest people in Australia doubled their wealth, and they were not starting from a low base. Would we spend 50 million dollars on a football stadium without asking the football codes likely to use it what they would want and need for it to go well? I suspect we would, but most of us can see we should. On this point I agree with Albo, if we keep doing what we are doing we will get the same result. The argument for consultation seems obvious to me, and on that basis, I am supporting the Voice as a means of achieving it. I want to spend more money on the problem and less money on the bureaucrats, and hopefully less money overall. Nonetheless, I respect your opinion and concur with many of the points you make.
