A new Sky News documentary has revealed the question at the heart of the upcoming referendum on whether to enshrine an Indigenous Voice to Parliament in the Australian Constitution.

Hosted by Sky News Australia’s Darwin Bureau Chief, Matt Cunningham, The Voice: Australia Decides takes a comprehensive look at the Voice to Parliament debate, speaking to key political and Indigenous leaders on both sides.

The Program highlights the widespread agreement on the problems facing many remote Indigenous communities.

The question viewers are left with – and the question Australians will need to answer in the upcoming referendum – is can the Voice make a difference.

Does Andrew Bolt make an appearance?
- bargaino on 31/07/2023 - 16:16
  
  No, thankfully NO.
  What a strange day it is, but we find ourselves in a Bizzaro world where Sky is the voice of objectivity, while the ABC is pushing an ideological agenda.

      Yes Sky is certainly worse, especially the like of Bolt, Credlin etc., but it is getting harder to defend the ABC.
      Credit where due, Paul Barry is still criticising ABC on Media Watch without being sacked.

        Clutching at straws I see. Let me put it in plain English so you will understand. Fox is not fully funded by the Government as the ABC is. The amount paid to Fox is not ongoing and is piddly compared to the $1.13bn paid to the ABC
        
        The ABC's total revenue is budgeted at $1.13bn in 2023-24 – up $30.4m from 2022-23. ABC expenses are budgeted at $1.2bn – a net increase of $231m from 2022-23 due to wage increases and other costs, including leasing expenses.10 May 2023.

        Because Foxtel is clearly funded by the federal government.

    The opening can be hard to watch, but that is the reality in Alice and many other communities. Letting aboriginal people tell their own story makes it more palatable. Ignoring it, denying it, is about as useful as denying global warming.

Here's a good one too.

"This week we are joined by Grandmother Mulara who is not only an Aboriginal Senior Lore Woman, but also holds a Juris Doctor in colonial law. Grandmother Mulara talks us through what The Voice is really about, and how it will trap the traditional custodians of this land who are a crucial key to stopping the complete NWO takeover."

https://rumble.com/v2jg0es-zerotime-grandmother-mulara-how-t…

After listening to this woman the whole dog and pony show finally made sense. Will go over a lot of heads I imagine but the Voice will shaft most Aboriginals along with everyone else. I mean let's face it, if the same agenda is being played out simultaneously in other western countries like NZ and Canada as well then it's most likely the globalists playing games games again anyway.

      I get a bit sick of people saying "oldest culture" without even thinking. Is there just one culture continent-wide? That has not changed?
      Anyone with a little thought would look to Africa for the oldest cultures. Kalahari bushmen and pygmies of the Congo basin would be much older by the same metrics.
      But what makes you think the recent/current aboriginal culture bears any resemblance to the early-stone age arrivals? There is no record of 500 years ago, let alone 60k.
      Anyway, Noongar have about as much in common with TSI culture as Balinese do with Ireland.

    The indigenous population currently has some of the worst health, work and living outcomes in the country. Without being distracted by who's "fault" that is, (fix the problem, not the blame), let's look at the best way of fixing that.
    
    They were asked what they felt the best way to go about it was (because the current model of government ministers throwing money at the problem and using white people solutions hasn't been working).
    
    They said they'd like a representative body that's more in touch with their issues who could make arguments on their behalf. They wouldn't have the power to force anyone to take up their recommendations, but if you wanted to know what First Nations felt would be the best solution, you could ask this body directly.
    
    And that's it. I guess if you wanted to dig your heels in and say "that's racist, where's my lobby group" no one's going to stop you, but you need to acknowledge the only reason you're against it is you're worried about First Nations people getting an 'unfair' advantage by being given an official lobby group.
    
    The real irony is you yourself pass yourself off as a religious person and telling everyone how great it is when God redeems you or whatever, and here you are, tossing out the toys in a tantrum that one of the poorest and most downtrodden groups in our country is being offered a service. How Christlike of you. The meek will inherit the earth, as long as they're the ones you approve of, huh?

      We have 11 Aboriginal voices in parliament and a Front bencher called the Minister for Indigenous affairs….these ppl have real power and are elected by Australians….what does the voice do they they do not? If anything the voice will probably hurt 1st nations ppl like most things 'White ppl' do help the situatuon they often make them worse.
      
      Anyone voting for the voice is racist there is no benefit to 1st nation ppls and there is no reseach to support it it is just political ploy for self interest and get more $$$ for those who don't need it
      
      The PM and the yes voters have never considered the damage the voice can do for all parties….
      
      The left wing Karen's can scream till your blue on the face but the voice makes no sense and the average person is not stupid enough to support it…thus why support have dropped on every poll since it was announced
