[QUOTE="Philip_B, post: 77207150, member: 389027"] I think it is more complex and about addressing a justice issue for our nation's first peoples. There are things about the way the question has been framed that I would prefer had been worded differently, in particular, I would have desired two questions. The first would have been about acknowledgement which I think would have been widely supported. The second is about the Voice. Two things to observe, are that the Voice does not need a Constitutional Change, it could simply be legislated. If Albo and his mob think it is going to be such a good thing, and he has the power to do it now, then Why are we Waiting? Albo has suggested that we should trust the politicians with the detail, and yet the very call for the Voice is from people who feel they have been let down by politicians constantly doing and undoing, listening and not listening, and in all seriousness most of us feel the same, so whilst Albo might be seen as being in-touch this was one of his most out-of-touch suggestions, ever. One of the reasons I am inclined to vote YES for it at the moment is that I suspect a NO vote will set the agenda back generationally. The First Peoples of our Nation have been here since the time before Abraham, and (probably) the time before Noah. Yet the events of the last couple of hundred years have left them as strangers in a strange land. I think that the place to begin a serious discussion about this is the Uluru Statement from the Heart which has been referenced far more often than it has been read. [/QUOTE]
