Voice to parliament: What are the No campaign’s alternative ideas?

Their silence is deafening

How does the No campaign propose to fix the problems faced by Indigenous people in this country?

 As someone in the front line of the No campaign, Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price used her article to warn about the “constitutionally radical” Voice proposal (“This isn’t a unifying voice for Australia”, August 31). There is not one word of how the “conservatives” she purports to represent propose to improve the lot of her people, the First Nations people of Australia. Does this mean that she is happy with the current situation in which Indigenous boys are more likely to go to jail than university? Is she happy with the status quo where white people tell Indigenous people what is good for them? Is she happy that lobbyists for mining companies, supermarkets, big pharma and betting firms have easy access to the corridors of Parliament House but Indigenous people are denied the chance to have a voice to power that can’t be destroyed with a stroke of a pen like ATSIC was?

Surprise Surprise is Fairfax advocating YES?

 From immunisation to robots, Australia has advisory bodies on many things. So, when the No campaign says it’s extraordinarily risky to create the Voice it is doing nothing than scaremongering.

Executive power resides exactly where it should – with the parliament and the executive government. Not with any of the advisers. The creation of a Voice would do nothing to change that; that’s explicit in the text of the proposed constitutional amendment. The No campaign’s hysteria is nothing more than base scaremongering.

South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas put it in perspective when he spoke on the subject this week: “If our forefathers and mothers can say yes to universal franchise, if our great grandparents can say yes to waves of migration, if our grandparents can say yes in 1967, if our parents can say yes to land rights, then this generation is capable of saying yes to an advisory committee.”

Because that’s all it is.

Australia has countless advisory bodies, so why is the No campaign scared of the Voice?

Mainstream media is lobbying to keep Australia’s largest coal plant, Eraring, open for ‘reliability’. Origin wants it closed. What’s the scam?
