Dutton, Price and the Cabinet are all at odds with each other. Dutton left the Cabinet’s meeting on the Voice in a quandary when he said he wanted local voices on the ground and a National Voice legislated but “Not in the Constitution” that Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders had a special place in history. He then left Cabinet and told the mainstream media he was against a National Voice and that the Voice was solely a local and State matter, throwing a cat among the pigeons.
Price and Dutton are on the same page they agree to local voices legislated but not a National Voice. But in some magic way, those many diverse voices will still be heard in the Capital. It seems she’s been appointed Cabinet to support Dutton against a National Voice which behind closed doors he supported in Cabinet but publicly doesn’t support.
Watch these two twits confuse not only each other, their Cabinet
members but most of all the Public and betray the true invioble history of
Australia and the place of it’s First Nation’s Peoples. As far as Dutton is concerned the Nation's history began in 1788 with the arrival of the white man.

Mr Albanese said Mr Dutton was raising questions and doubts “by not having any substance to his opposition” to the voice.
The Liberal Party has called for a legislated, but not constitutionally enshrined, voice process involving representative local and regional bodies.
Mr Albanese said he had made it clear there would be local and regional bodies, which may differ across the states and territories.
He pointed to South Australia’s decision to set up a state voice.
“It’s quite clear that the national voice would work with state voices, were they to be established as well,” he said.
“So clearly we want to hear from local communities, working the way up. But you need a national voice as well.”

AUSTRALIA's SHAME WOULD BE VOTING "NO"
The slogan of “Don’t know? Vote No” is the sort of thing that Scotty From Mad Men would have come up with: that wonderful trick of advertising companies of helping something to stick in your brain by making it rhyme, because when something sticks, it clicks. Slogans like “Be Wise, Alkalise!” or “Beanz means Heinz” (which only partly rhymes even though they’ve deliberately spelled Beans incorrectly to make it look like it rhymes with Heinz…)
The point is that the Voice will either do some good or, in the worst case, do not much at all. Either way, it’s worth a chance.
What are we left with, if those who have No idea were to succeed? We’d have to the garbled mess that Jacinta Nampijinpa Price argued for on Insiders which was a lot of local voices that wouldn’t have a central voice in Canberra because once it went to Canberra then people would have to listen to them and that wouldn’t be right because once they were in Canberra then they’d be part of the elite and not worth listening to. You know, they’d be a Canberra voice like her and all the other politicians, so we need to just do something else.
Basically, the poverty of the No case is in their slogan. In general, I’d argue: “If you don’t know, FIND OUT before you open your mouth and make a fool of yourself!”

The case that starts today raises a fundamental question: Will there be a penalty for profiting from the spread of dangerous misinformation?
Think of the poison Fox has knowingly been pumping into America as analogous to the poison cigarette manufacturers pumped into Americans’ lungs. Part of the remedy for the cigarette poison has been warning disclosures on every pack. Why not an analogous remedy for Fox News’s poison?

Fox pleads guilty and ducks for cover and settles saving Rupert from public testimony and admonishment. Where will he run to and what comes next? He been saved from testifying along with his company of liars and will no doubt continue on his merry way lying. Will there be a list of others ready to sue?
Adding to the legal risks for Fox, another US voting technology company, Smartmatic, is pursuing its own defamation lawsuit seeking $US2.7 billion in damages in a New York state court. Fox Corp reported nearly $US14 billion in annual revenue last year.
Key points
- Fox Corp and Fox News settled a defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems for $US787.5 million ($1.17 billion).
- At issue was whether Fox was liable for airing lie that Dominion’s ballot-counting machines were used to manipulate the 2020 US election.
- The deal saves Murdoch being called to the witness stand and subjected to potentially withering questioning, including executives such as and Fox CEO Suzanne Scott as well as on-air hosts including Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Jeanine Pirro.
- Dominion argued that these on-air claims caused the company “enormous and irreparable economic harm”.
- Fox said: “We acknowledge the court’s rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false.“
