Let’s say Yes

Things. Supporter of evidence based and peer reviewed science, knowledge, and media. Yes to Constitutional recognition for First Nations. Opinions my own.

[Let’s say Yes @Le_Foote]

@HaFuChalice @DrVicFielding The Voice as proposed would only be an advisory body. It would equate to a paper of suggestions when Parliament is making laws that concern Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Many other countries have this or similar written into their governing structures.

[Victoria Fielding @DrVicFielding]

Whenever I see a Welcome to Country ceremony - at a sporting ground or any other event - I feel proud to be an Australian. I am proud to acknowledge our First Nations people and their 65,000 years of culture. I think it’s un-Australian to oppose these proud moments of recognition

[Let’s say Yes @Le_Foote]

@BuggaThe @MaxFenig69 It’s recognising that they deserve a say and can offer their practical solutions to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander challenges such as closing the gap.

[Let’s say Yes @Le_Foote]

@BuggaThe @MaxFenig69 They want to be able to offer their point of view only on the laws and policies that affect them such as closing the gap.

[Let’s say Yes @Le_Foote]

@BuggaThe @MaxFenig69 Diplomatic advice

[Let’s say Yes @Le_Foote]

@MaxFenig69 @BuggaThe It’s about recognition that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are Australia’s First People. They deserve a seat at the table to offer advice on the laws about them. The Voice is nothing else. It’s a simple ask.
We can make room alongside the King & Commonwealth.

[Let’s say Yes @Le_Foote]

@conserv1951 @BuggaThe 250 Nations spread over the whole land for 65,000 years.
250 languages, laws, medicine, abundance in food and shelter.
First inventors.
The history of this land did not start with Cook and the Queen.
It needs to be recognised and allow them a say on stuff that concerns them.

[Let’s say Yes @Le_Foote]

@conserv1951 @BuggaThe The 250 tribes that lived here peacefully and abundantly across the whole land for 65,000 years?
The 250 tribes of First Nations with language, law, medicine, invention and farming - just not the way you know it?
They just want to be recognised and have a say about them. #Yes

[Let’s say Yes @Le_Foote]

@ProfessorMMXXII Are people sick of the hate filled narrative?

[MFWitches @MFWitches]

How the fuck do we live in a country where a shitload of the same people who object to #TheVoice because “nobody should be treated differently” are the ones who get treated differently every fucking day with their franking credits, negative gearing, private school subsidies and various old-school-tie privileges?

PRICE IS WRONG: Country Liberals politician Jacinta Price has been sent written confirmation from the NIAA that the Uluru Statement from the Heart is one page — correcting false claims it is 26 pages. The statement, freely available online since 2017, is one page long. #auspol

[Let’s say Yes @Le_Foote]

@phillsandra1 @MFWitches High viz photo op. This is Liberal marketing 101

[Rachael williams @Rachael07384347]

@MFWitches I wish people would understand that ..welcome to country...is just that a welcome...welcome to our place Wether a stadium or spot...its like us welcoming people to our homes..welcome to our town...its Abbott's version of come do you want a drink before we start rorting

[MFWitches @MFWitches]

So Tony Abbott has said he’s sick of the Welcome to Country hey, well I’m enormously fucking sick of every fucking thing that’s ever come out of his boring, misogynist, stupid, fascist fucking mouth but here we fucking are. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Kidney failure is 20x higher in remote Aboriginal communities. But organisations like The Purple House, where Chev works, are changing that.

When we listen to local voices, we get better results.

Watch Chev's story below.

@Wallerawang11 @WayneKe78142076 @yes23au The Australian Parliament is the voice of the Commonwelath and electorates. The Queen/King gets representation in the Constitution, Commonwealth electorates get representation. First Nations are asking for representation in our govt too. We are one of the few countries that don’t

[Let’s say Yes @Le_Foote]

@WayneKe78142076 @JoKneebs @yes23au It’s not politicians’ who are asking. It’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who are asking the Australian people to recognise them in the Constitution. The Queen and Commonwealth are recognised but not them. Let’s listen to them. #Yes23
