Australian Agenda

Should we change the date of Australia Day? Should we scrap it entirely? Let's look at the arguments surrounding this.

Should the next governor general be indigenous? Tom Calma - a Voice architect - has suggested that they should be.

People have tired of "Welcome to Country" and "Acknowledgement of Country" ceremonies. Some politicians appear to be trying to remove, or de-empthasize, them. The full interview with Andrew Bolt: https://youtu.be/BxN03FTfgRU?si=iFYNHMlO6CH0d_Kk

The Voice referendum is fast approaching. However, myths abound about what the Voice will do. Many of these myths and obfuscations come courtesy of the "yes" ampaign. Let's look at them.

Noel Pearson recently gave a speech at the National Press Club. However, the speech was emotive and lacked detail. It was unconvincing, sounded lecturing, and was simply unpersuasive because it failed to grapple with peoples' fundamental concerns. It cast the Voice in simplistic terms as being about 'love for country'. But, this seeming emotional manipulation is likely to fail. #IndigenousVoice #NoelPearson #VoiceReferendum #VoteNo #VoteNoAustralia Support the channel (buy me a coffee): https://www.buymeacoffee.com/AustralianAgenda

Jacinta Price has argued that colonialism benefited indigenous Australians. She stated that colonialism led to improvements in technology, housing, and livelihoods. See it in this clip at the National Press Club. She said this during a speech in which she decried the "yes" campaign in the indigenous Voice referendum. #IndigenousVoice #VoiceReferendum #VoteNo #VoteNoAustralia Support the channel (buy me a coffee): https://www.buymeacoffee.com/AustralianAgenda

Jacinta Price has argued that the government and the "yes" campaign is spreading misinformation and lies about the Voice.

WA is reportedly moving to scrap its cultural heritage laws. Finally. But, what are the implications for the Voice referendum. #WA #WesternAustralia

There has been significant debate about whether the Voice to Parliament will likely lead to treaty. Anthony Albanese does not want to discuss the topic, attempting to separate the two. However, prominent legal scholars, and "yes" campaigners have insisted that it would. #VoiceReferendum #IndigenousVoice #VoteNo #VoteNoAustralia

Big Business has donated to the "yes" side in The Voice referendum. This is despite the clear warnings from Western Australia about how such bodies would influence corporate value, and the majority of Australians intending to vote "no". Perhaps CEOs should focus on creating value for shareholders rather than taking shareholders money to use it to harm those very same people. #VoiceReferendum #indigenousvoice #AusPol

Will the Indigenous Voice achieve anything? Or will it simply empower elites, entrenching their already powerful positions? Given how vague Anthony Albanese has been about how The Voice would work we can draw some solid inferences. #VoiceReferendum #indigenousvoice

Anthony Albanese is obfuscating - intentionally or accidentally - over The Voice's real powers. He as suggested that The Voice would only influence matters that 'differently' affect Indigenous Australians. This is false. Constituional Law professors have specifically rejected his comments. Albo stated “I urge people to have a look at the second reading speech of the Attorney-General that has legal consequences, speaking about matters that affect Indigenous Australians differently." Constitutional Law experts disagree, specifically noting that the amendment states that The Voice could influence matters 'relating to' Indigenous Australians. Those matters need not specifically or differently impact them. This gives The Voice a broad remit and was specifically flagged by Voice architects. It thus appears that Albo either does not understand his own policies or is intentionally misleading the Australian public. Either possiblity is bad. #IndigenousVoice #VoiceReferendum #VoteNo #VoteNoAustralia

The Voice referendum has been controversial. The proposed constitutional amendment would create the Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Voice. Several concerns have been raised, ranging from how much power The Indigenous Voice should have to whether a specific race should have especial recognition in the constition or more power than any other race. Here I discuss why the proposed Voice might in fact be racist by design. #VoiceReferendum #IndigenousVoice #VoteNo #VoteNoAustralia

The Indigenous Voice referendum has an uphill battle: fewer than 50% of Australians indicate that they will vote "yes" and the number of "yes" voters is falling, albeit with a relatively large number of undecided voters. Notably, support is below 50% in several states, suggesting that the referendum might carry neither a majority of the population nor a majority of the states.

Althony Albanese appeared on The Project. They asked him about how the proposed Indigenous Voice would work. He would not, or could not, give a straight answer. It basically came down to "trust me bro". It was hardly convincing. #IndigenousVoice #VoiceReferendum #Albo #VoteNo #VoteNoAustralia
