  1. The fact that they won't allow full bloods on the committee says it's not about them it's about lots of mixed blood people soaking up all the funding and not giving it to the people who really need it

  2.  @andreikondisenko6089 you're not doing the cause any justice by this comment

  3. Australia has had an unwritten rule for a long time, the full bloods are not allowed to be in the media or politics because they will start telling everybody what's going on and this voice thing is just the same there's no full bloods on the committee and it's just going to be a waste of money

  4. I think most Australians want change but with these corrupt committees we're not going to get that ,what are they going to do different that they haven't done in the last 50 years? Surely if they have the magic answer to this it should be put in place immediately to stop the human atrocities that are happening every day in Australia . And why is it the full blood elders are not allowed on these committees maybe they would be asking for money to be spent where it's actually needed not on committee meetings about what they're offended about this week

  5.  @matbon9614  I think we need to be asking these committees why not all members of the Aboriginal community are allowed to be on these committees making the decisions? it's not like they're need someone to speak for them they can speak for themselves and that's not going to happen because the government wants to hide it away and not let the issues that are happening become mainstream information. When the prime minister did his media thing he's standing there with traditional aboriginal people saying these people need a voice but they're not allowed on the committee it's about time we asked questions about why this is happening. And we need to have a discussion about people being called racist for simply saying that someone is part English part aboriginal the full bloods don't have a problem with this it's all the people that want to steal all the funding and jobs that don't want this subject bought up because they don't want to explain why they're there and the full bloods are not

  6. ​ @cgraham209  I'm happy to explain for 50 years we've had committee members dealing with this issue with a trillion-dollars in funding and nothing has ever been done. You'll notice there's no community elders on the committee only people who are from the city or have very little contact with the indigenous people in the bush where the problems are. No one is explaining how this voice is going to change that how its going to stop the ministers from stealing all the money while people suffer in the bush like has always been the case

  7. I can guarantee in 2 years time the situation in the bush is going to be even worse nothing will ever change and it's just more bureaucracy that we can't get rid of. It's exactly the same thing the elders are not allowed to be on the committee's so all the money can be spent in the city

  8. Plenty are looking after labour as well

  9. Shorly this would prove that the Aboriginal ministers over the last 50 years have been completely useless and they should all hand their paychecks back if we now need to change this

  10.  @ladyangua1  no the mixed-blood people who keep telling the full bloods it's highly racist to mention that subject will be doing exactly what they always done not allowing the full bloods to speak. The people voting on the committee's aren't necessarily the people who need the assistance

  11. So many words but you're not actually saying much at all
    1
  12.  @spidermoth1170  well let's take away tiktok and all these companies that are asking them to commit crimes so they can be popular and the company can make millions of dollars out of showing they're video and we might actually have a charge of solving this but no one wants to admit that the big nasty internet is actually to blame just like we won't admit the China is causing climate change because everybody's having too much fun playing with the toys
    1
  13. ​ @easternfrontagain  but what are they going to do different that they haven't done for the last 50 odd years ? The elders in the communities have been ignored for a long time so that the committee's can spend all the money on silly symbolic stuff but not actually doing any work in the community's and that's not going to change. When we see actual full blood committee members from the community's on the committee I will vote yes straight away

  14.  @steveremington  but hang on the full bloods don't have a problem with that term it is the people like Lidia Thorpe who are obviously are not predominantly Aboriginal making the decisions for everybody, who came up with this thing that it's racist because they don't want any conversation about why the full bloods are not on the committee's and why these committees only deal with symbolic issues and not the real shit that's going on
    1
  15.  @steveremington  as for the rest of your comment got no idea what you're talking about maybe you should attempt to make that a bit clearer. It is the people in regional Australia that can see what's going on unlike the city people

  16.  @alelectric2767  I was a fat kid and when I would complain about being beaten up every day and coming back from recess bleeding they would tell me to lose weight and that would solve the problem. The headmaster that said I would never amount to anything despite the fact that I was a famous entertainer for a long time got locked up for paedophilia ( no checks back then) and was one of three from our school . 45 degrees sports day with no water or sunscreen when they eventually bought the water out in one bucket we all come running over like we just come out of my concentration camp and started vomiting because we couldn't take so much water in. things have certainly changed but it doesn't mean that we're all nut cases or should use this as an excuse to misbehave

  17.  @alelectric2767  I forgot to mention your home life now what your parents didn't let you play with video games or was it actually something serious

  18. I keep hearing the self-determination but then I see white women on the committee's not the elders so that's why I'm voting no
    1
  19. You do know that they're not going to get a voice the elder's of the communities are not allowed to speak in Australia it's always been like that and it always will. This is just a way of spending the indigenous budget on white people instead of where it should be going
    1
  20. ​ @schrenk-d no the answer is for everybody to grow up and get rid of social media because that's causing all the problem by encouraging kids to break the law so that the social media companies can get more traffic can't you see that

  21.  @modonohue9980  you've never heard of succinct have you lol

  22. You are being scammed they're not going to listen to you it's just going to be lots of committee members soaking up all the money while people in the bush don't get a thing and nothing will change I guarantee it. The elder's of your community need to be on these committees not people from the city

  23. I voted labour but look what's happened we're all starving no one can afford rents anymore we're being asked to vote on a racist alteration to our constitution we are the leading cause of climate change all over the world.... However the problem is there's no one to replace them because people aren't going to university or studying to become community leaders ,theyre on tik tok or playing video games
    1
  24. Yes well maybe people should understand it they can't have a three-bedroom mansion if they're picking fruit you need to put away the luxuries for a couple of months while you make money that's the way it was always done. As for more permanent jobs well we should have laws that the greedy landlord from overseas can't keep putting up the prices
    1
  25. We also have to stop telling young people how amazing they are and setting them up for a lifetime of failure with their big fancy language but no actual skills
    1
  26. They're not going to build accommodation if young people aren't going to get off their ass and get educated. being able to use all the big fancy words is ok but you need the skills to back it up and that's not happening young people don't want to get educated because there's too many things to distract them

  27. ​ @amymaddock2557 and I guarantee you could not tell me what that word means without Googling it

  28. The problem is everybody is obsessed with their own identity group and believes that the media should be giving them 24 hours coverage and that is not possible therefore no government from now on will last longer than one term . People are to selfish
    1
  29. No it's political correctness destroying society in every way we can't say these disgusting landlords from overseas are ripping us off we're not allowed to even mention that so they just keep putting up the price

  30. Yes they're a company trying to get your attention I don't know why people think this is a conspiracy theory
    1
  31. We know why they're doing this because Google is encouraging them to do this . But when Google is more powerful than all the government's on earth put together we really can't do anything about it
    1
  32. No the problem is young people being told how amazing they are so they don't actually want to get an education so they're not getting into politics they're not getting into the workforce and we have a bunch of politicians that don't really have to be worried about their jobs because no one is replacing them because the average 40 year old is much more interested in showing off on tik tok as opposed to becoming community leaders so until we can fix this and get some new politicians in we have to put up with this

  33.  @Zei33  Mate I'm 51 years old I don't need to be educated buy some smart ass kid who thinks he's gods gift to intelligence because he has a Google account. It is you that doesn't understand now I'm going to get back to getting stoned goodnight

  34.  @joshmaclean3179  I really get annoyed when smart-ass people make comments no one can understand . And I think you've left the have a good day thing a bit late it's 11 at night lol

  37. The media is a business so if people are not watching on mass they're not going to put money into it which is why most television is crap now
    1
  38. Unfortunately the young people are so obsessed with Google and having fun 24hrs a day that they really are no longer able to get degrees or anything and we are going to see more of this
    1
  39. I noticed the word entertainment in there this is the big problem people want to be entertainment 24hrs a day not get an education
    1
  40. Just because the entire media doesn't put on everything you want to watch it doesn't mean it should be removed. Now I believe that a man should be running the station because women can't get over this touchy emotion crap but it shouldn't be defunded

  41. ​ @divyanshd3969  I'm so incredibly amazing that I don't have to do anything and other people can do it for me if I'm so smart why do I need to do a university degree that is the problem
    1
  42. Will sadly there's no one around to replace the politicians because the average adult now has been groomed to act like a 10-year-old buying Google and China . Which is why we don't have any politicians caring about their jobs because there's no one to replace them

  45. This is why the Chinese released covid so we can only buy their products and to indoctrinate everybody into this online world which is very dangerous

  46. I think the big problem is group identity everybody needs to say I'm part of this group I'm an animal lover I'm this I'm that I'm a gamer because they have no other title maybe we should be looking at this angle as well

  47.  @blueknight07  you don't get to expect anything from me mate I hope you understand that

  48.  @ZabbathMakesArt  you cannot blame the boomers because the current generation is too stupid to understand where all the money is going it is not the boomers fault but you're spending all your money on Google products and Chinese toys as opposed to looking after the family and paying the bills. And of course if you just stop with all this group mentality you would actually have some political power and you could fix these problems but everybody wants to be in their own little group ,don't blame the boomers for your own stupidity
