Wouldn’t it be valid to argue (though Australians are frightened to say it) that Indigenous Australians, who constitute 3.8 per cent of the population, enjoy inordinate attention? Notwithstanding, of course, the impossible disadvantage suffered by many.

With the proposed Voice to Parliament, we are expected to approve a race-based amendment to the Constitution; yet we see universities, businesses, sports administrators, and allegedly intelligent people finding nothing wrong with this – an alteration to the Constitution that empowers one group of Australians over another.

Why shouldn’t the elderly have a special Voice to the Parliament; or Italians, or Muslims, or the disabled?

Yet the Albanese government is proposing a change based on race to accommodate some, and I stress some, of the 3.8 per cent of the Australian population.

I have cited many times the number of government-sponsored entities that already give voice to Indigenous concerns; and, each year, we provide 30 thousand million dollars to so-called ‘Close The Gap’.

In spite of all of this, we still have, as Jacinta Price has argued over and over again, intolerable violence towards women and children in the Northern Territory.

Plainly, money is not the answer, and nor is the Voice.

But there must come a time when these demands end.

Australians have had a gutful.

Welcome to Country!

Are we, today’s population, invaders?

We are told we don’t own the land.

People have worked their butts off to buy a property and cultivate it, in many forms, for the nation’s wealth, which everyone enjoys, including the unlimited benefits provided to Indigenous Australians in housing, health, education, and social services.

Yet, as you know, there are moves by people like Lidia Thorpe and others to assert sovereignty of our country; and talk that we should pay rent for the privilege of being on ‘someone else’s land’.

This bulldust has to end somewhere; and it doesn’t solve the problems in the Northern Territory.

Yet, we have the pretence that the Voice might.

As I understand it, there is a matter before the Federal Court where a Wakka Wakka man is suing the Commonwealth, arguing he should receive the pension at the age of 64, not 67, because of his shorter life expectancy.

His defence cites the Australian Bureau of Statistics figures, submitted to the Court, that Indigenous men, aged 65, are expected to live for three years fewer than non-Indigenous men.

Understandably, the barrister for the Commonwealth argued that life expectancy was not part of the legislative criteria to assess whether someone was eligible for the age pension.

But, nonetheless, this is the point that many Australians are making.

They are sick of it.

Every demand is the thin edge of the wedge, followed by further demands.

This chap, Dennis James Fisher, has one of the nation’s leading barristers, Ron Merkel, a King’s Counsel, handling his case.

The average Joe in Struggle Street would have no chance of even making contact with Ron Merkel, a former Judge of the Federal Court, let alone having Ron Merkel handle his case.

May we ask, who is paying Mr Merkel?

But Merkel argued that the case of Dennis Fisher was about ‘correcting historical disadvantage’; that Aboriginal men should be able to enjoy the pension to the same extent as non-Indigenous men, otherwise it would go against section 10 of the Racial Discrimination Act.

The Commonwealth’s barrister argued that the legislation surrounding the age pension did not suggest that every person needed to be on the pension for the same amount of time.

A full bench of the Federal Court is represented by three or more justices.

This case is being heard by five, four of whom are women.

They have reserved their decision.

I know you are shaking your heads!

Every other day, hardworking Australians are asking simply, what comes next?
