Quote:Dear P2,
Get a load of this:
“Our vision: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples heard, recognised and empowered.
“Our Purpose: We lead and influence change across government to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have a say in the decisions that affect them.
“Our Responsibilities: to provide advice to the Prime Minister and the Minister for Indigenous Australians on whole-of-government priorities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.”
Doesn’t that sound exactly like the Voice Anthony Albanese wants to put into the Constitution?
But it’s not. It’s the National Indigenous Australians Agency, set up by executive order in May 2019.
According to its own website, the NIAA is an Indigenous advisory body of 1300 bureaucrats with a budget of nearly $2 billion a year whose clear purpose is to provide advice.
The NIAA’s function is to oversee the way that policy is being implemented for Indigenous Australians using their regional and remote networks that are supposed to provide advice to the government.
It is everything they tell us the constitutional Voice will be. So why do they want the Voice? To constitutionally enshrine their jobs for life.
The NIAA has said that during the referendum it will be “playing a really important role in providing Australians with the information they need to make informed decisions when the time comes,” including “myth busting”.
So much for impartiality. This is an arm of the government, using taxpayer cash, to argue the ‘yes’ case for the referendum.
And if the Yes vote wins, they’ll have just enshrined their jobs and funding in the Constitution forever.
This isn’t about “myth busting”, this is deceptive, backdoor government funding for the ‘yes’ campaign after Albo said he wouldn’t.
This is a sneaky attempt at using YOUR money to make sure they’re on the Canberra gravy train until retirement.
This is not a “modest” proposal. It’s much more than an “advisory” body, and it’s not a symbolic gesture.
The Voice would be a divisive, dangerous and costly mistake that will pave the way for even more disastrous moves in the future.
It will open the door to ‘treaty’, it will open the door to split sovereignty, it will open the door to two countries, not a unified Australia.
This isn’t about Aboriginal people, it’s about politicians and bureaucrats securing their own futures while actively dividing Australians.
We have to say NO to the divisive Voice.
Yours for REAL solutions,
MTF...P2
