@ZylEZHW @revardin No one is saying anything about various people being worthwhile or not. Just give a voice to those who have been denied one in so many ways for so long. Their status today would imply something needs to change. A voice won’t hurt and may actually help improve things.
@auntyneville665@Momitja @FayeNikoloski @mark16pg I’m not westernising or whitewashing anything. You’re doing the exact opposite. You probably think it was right to refer to them as primatives? Why vote no? What are you worried about?
@auntyneville665@Momitja @FayeNikoloski @mark16pg You’re so not across the facts as they happened in all the various nations of this land. Plenty died from being shoved off their land. Their land was their home, their pantry and their purpose. I don’t think anyone wants an apology from you, understanding & respect perhaps.
@museisluse@mark16pg@DavidLeyonhjelm Good point about the fear. I didn’t understand why there’s so much negativity about the voice in certain quarters. It’s such an exciting opportunity. Fear. That’s it!
@mark16pg Disgusting that the RSLs are not inclusive for all returning service people. Certain people fit the bill, straight, conservative white, mostly alcoholic, men. Forget feeling welcome if you’re female, Aboriginal, gay, sober etc.. Should take a long hard look at itself!
@3rr3ction @RFInukshuk@BasedSavannah@OliLondonTV You’re wrong. There’s way more straight pedos than gay ones! Being a pedophile is not related to sexual orientation.
@WesleySouthcott @JanaStewartVIC Misinformation. If anything, they’ve picked it up from white fellas from what I’ve heard. There were many different nations though. Loss of purpose, alcohol and complete powerlessness doesn’t help either. That contributes to DV anywhere and it is everywhere!
@PershingStrike @JanaStewartVIC The abusers aren’t necessarily always indigenous people. Last documented case I heard about was FIFO workers abusing local teenagers.
@Camflashinapan @JanaStewartVIC Aboriginal children are much more likely to be removed from their homes than other children in the same situation. Hence more are vulnerable to abuse. There is no evidence Aboriginal parents sexually abuse their children any more than other parents.
@SamDavi99667843 @JanaStewartVIC Exactly. Whatever we’ve been doing, hasn’t worked. I don’t understand why people think the issues in NT mean we should vote no. To me it highlights why we must say yes.
@slaughter_ford@ECOWARRIORSS Pie charts!!! Are you kidding?! No serious scientist presents data in a pie chart. Climate change is more usually over thousands of years but not always. Have you ever heard of feedbacks and tipping points? You know permafrost melt, albido/ice cover, bushfires etc.
