I don't really know this person - seems to be a relatively centrist farmer and rural advocate? Seems to have put many tweets against the Voice on basically these grounds - lots of rural/remote Aboriginal people don't think a Canberra level Voice is actually the right way to get their concerns heard.
Given that I have noted at least three ABC stories where the reporter has talked to rural/remote Aboriginal groups and found this same distrust and lack of support for the Voice, it seems to be true, and something simply not addressed by the creators of the Uluru statement, who just insist that it was the result of years of consultation, etc.
Eventually, in the distant future, someone will realise the problem isn't a lack of voice it is the idea that sticking people out in the boondocks where they cannot live their traditional lifestyle(because they don't want that), cannot develop the land, have property rights, create a business, where services are lacking, where everything is so ridiculously expensive, is a bad idea.
ReplyDeletecan't disagree. Mal Peters obviously does not understand the basics of the voice.
