    Hopefully, both sides get to have a say, unlike the Borough of Queenscliffe who are paying with ratepayer funds to fly in a ‘yes’ campaigner for its controversial pro-Voice forum where they have banned speakers from presenting the 'No" case.

        I don't watch Sky News, so I don't really care either way, but if a forum is being funded publicly, it should be fair and allow representations from both sides and not be exploited by councillors to push their own political agenda.

            @Almost Banned: The Borough of Queenscliffe has a population of 2,982. Statistically, it seems likely that neither JV, nor yourself, are residents.

            This is another excellent illustration of the moronic mob mentality hyped by the Herald Sun and Sky News in order to generate anger clicks.

              @AngoraFish: Queenscliffe is in Victoria, JV's location is marked as Vic so he's at least a small chance, mine is Perth so none at all. However, whether your concern is that only residents of Queenscliffe should be interested in its local government's waste and bias, or that some media outlets aren't to be trusted, neither of them address the issue.
              Even if the story is incorrect - and I haven't seen anything that says it is - surely we can agree that if a local government is to sponsor such an event it should have some balance?

                @Almost Banned: Dude, if you want to have a chat about government waste and bias I'm with you.

                Let's start with the not at all wasteful or biased $240 million that the last federal Coalition government spent of your and my money trying to get reelected. How many hysterical headlines did that warrant in the Herald Sun, ya reckon, at the time? And yeah, I'll even have that discussion about the ALP government's current advertising spend as well if you like.

                If you want to get hysterical about a few thousand dollars that the Murdoch tabloids thought might score them a cheap headline in service of the unending culture wars and anything with a whiff of 'woke', however, then I've got more important things to be triggered by.

                    People give the Murdoch press too much credibility already, and for the reasons we're seeing right here - you guys love being told that the reason you feel like victims is because of minorities and the university educated, and not coincidentally, nothing at all to do with media barons and mining magnates and rent-seeking conservative politicians, not even a little bit.

                        Realistically, however, the real issue is that this is a thread about The Voice, and yet somehow you seem intent on trying to get me to acknowledge that you're the real victim here because of the actions of some obscure Victorian local government area 3500 away from where you actually live.

                          @AngoraFish: Your answers make it very clear that you are ok with a local government putting on a public forum and only inviting one side of the debate, yes, that is quite clear.
                          Sadly for the Yes campaign, most Australians will not be told that they are racist for having a different view, and will not be cowed into further entrenching racism into the constitution by white guilt.

        We've had this closing the gap stuff for quite some time. And each year we're collectively surprised the gap isn't closed. So, why would we keep doing the same thing? Why not do something else?

        To get some details about how it would work exactly.

        You get an advisory body. It provides advice. That advice can be taken or it can be ignored. I can provide you with advice to replace bold with italic. You can choose to take that advice or ignore it.

                      @brendanm: Review your own previous comments. Hint> a few months back.
                      I'm not exposing myself to them again.
                      Exactly what do you call 'famous Aboriginal heritage" ?

                        @Protractor: I've made many comments a few months back, I don't know what triggers you, so I wouldn't know what to look for.

                        I'm not exposing myself to them again.

                        It really is true, good times do make soft men.

                        Exactly what do you call 'famous Aboriginal heritage" ?

                        It is what it says on the box. She has Aboriginal heritage, one of her ancestors is famous, so it's all very easily traceable.

                              @brendanm: Oh sorry. She 'is' aboriginal.
                              So what do your in-laws say about the Voice? All vehement no ,like you?

                              You make a point of the verbal abuse you cop .
                              Wondering>
                              Have your kids ever experienced anti aboriginal racist slurs in their lives?
                              As a father, what was your reaction to it?

                                Past tense, I don't live there anymore.

                                Have your kids ever experienced anti aboriginal racist slurs in their lives?

                                Nope, they don't look Aboriginal though. Not sure what that has to do with anything, I never mentioned that people haven't used any Aboriginal slurs. My point is that it's not all one way.

            Your confusing the Voice with Robodebt.

            deflection occurs when you are losing an argument.

              Really?
              I bow to your enormous knowledge in this specific deflection area.

              I'm surprised you don't blame Dan for Robodebt

      In case it has to be explained, there are multiple choices so therefore debating options becomes possible.

    There are 1.1 million people of Italian descent living in Australia.

    Shouldn't they have a voice ?

          Did the Australian government forcefully take their land then commit a genocide of their people?

                How is it racist?

                I can see how the Voice in Parliament is racist though…
