The Voice is probably the greatest confidence tricks ever attempted to be played on the Australian people.

Why would any country enshrine a race-based clause in its Constitution that risks an undefined minority being handed disproportionate power over all legislative decisions?

Can’t the nation see the rationale that ‘the Voice will solve the dysfunction in remote communities’ is cover for a naked grab for power by city-based elites? Elites whose track record has been to improve their lot while not providing sufficient evidence that they give a damn about solving the problems endemic in dysfunctional remote communities…

For a start, has anybody stepped back and asked just exactly who are the Indigenous Australians?

Most claimants use the three-part test to be accepted. But by whom? Most have less than 50 per cent Aboriginal heritage, so you can see where this is going. Acceptance by others of less than 50 per cent is going to become an ever-expanding group all of whom are less than 50 per cent, but who identify as Aboriginal and therefore are able to qualify for benefits denied the other 97 per cent of us.

We saw evidence of this alarming potential for exploitation in the last census when the number of claimants jumped 25 per cent. Surely this has to be revised so that resources are directed to where they are most needed?

Not to mention that proving ancestral lineage to access privileges is a sign the whole thing is a massive step backward for society.

We have two issues here. One is the bloated Indigenous bureaucracy that lives for itself and should be halved. Secondly, we have the many who identify as Aboriginal and who are not disadvantaged but are instead living normal lives.

It is estimated that there are about 20,000 full blood Aboriginals living in remote communities unable to emerge from the strictures of their tribal cultures, yet it is the educated city elite who are trying to convince us that this is not a power grab. This is despite the Uluru Statement clearly demanding power for an Aboriginal bureaucracy to inject itself into every aspect of our lives, as well as seeking reparations, truth-telling, and a treaty. But for whom and with whom?

And now we have a new WA Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act requiring all landowners with property over 1,100 square metres to consult with and pay local commissars for the right to work their own land.

Has anybody questioned why former Premier Mark McGown departed so abruptly?

Having left a social time-bomb in the hands of his replacement, has he walked away to avoid staining his stellar Covid track record?

He is not unlike Jacinda Adern, whose legacy in New Zealand is a racial and social disaster. And now, within weeks of the Act coming into force, the disruption and bribery has already started with tree planting stopped and payments demanded.

Given the Uluru Statement demands, this is a clear signal of what is to come with a Voice. And for what it’s worth in Canada BC, we are now seeing ‘The Land You Are On’ with a 1 per cent charge being added to pizza takeaway bills ‘to support the First Nations vision to conserve and revitalize Tribal Parks + Culture’…
