She talks of how she gets smeared with racist comments (“coconut”: brown on the outside, white on the inside) when she speaks for the No campaign in the forthcoming (14 October) Voice referendum.
I note here that the vitriol is all one way: Yes to the No. There is no smearing going from the No people to the Yes crowd. Example: Marcia Langton calls No campaigners “racist” or “stupid” (video) That tells you that the Yes campaign has nothing but ad hominem. And songs by Johnny Farnham.
Jacinta views on the Voice::
- Indigenous people already have a voice -- in parliament and the myriad indigenous bodies
- They already get a lot of money ($A30 billion per year)
- Much of the money is misused, misallocated and wasted:
- We have to work out why and do better with the money already there
- The Voice divides Australia by race: Australia should not be doing this
- The need is not to have a supra-parliamentary body peopled by radical activists, but to work out what’s happened to the moneys already allocated. Why have they failed, and what can be done better.
It’s clear why the Voice proponents, especially those activist indigenous folks would find that threatening. To their influence and access to yet more money
Jacinta is supported on the No side by Warren Mundine. E.g. video. The Voice is a “waste of millions”, he says.
The video above is not so much about the Voice, but to know the background of one who is very much involved in all matters relating to the welfare of the very people the Voice is allegedly to help. Warren Mundine also has a long history of involvement in helping his aboriginal brothers and sisters.
