  32.  @daniellebcooper7160  So as explained earlier a rudimentary understanding of the history of an indigenous voice goes as far back as the 1930s and representations to the then King of England. It is not a left or right issue although you seem keen to make it so. Constitutional recognition of indigenous peoples can’t open any loopholes to the constitution and at least 6 constitutional expert lawyers have said so. Both Liberal and Labor governments going as far back as Menzies have supported indigenous rights. The consultations and debates within the indigenous community took over ten years and resulted in the Uluṟu statement from the heart to all Australians by the indigenous community and it is what the indigenous community asked for. They deserve the respect to take that request to the people of Australia. You misunderstand the difference between political representation and constitutional recognition furthering my belief you are simply uneducated on the topic. It is not relevant what practical solutions it will provide that is not its purpose it is a strawman argument and a deliberate deflection. Once again Pauline Hansen is a despicable racist of the worst kind. I lived in Darwin for 10 years I saw some wonderful things and experienced some indigenous culture I also personally witnessed some abhorrent racism. Spending time with someone is again not relevant it is a childish argument. I never spent any time with Jeffery Dahmer but I know he was evil. I never spent any time with Howard Florey but I know he was a good man.
