The WDC has no red lines.”
“WDC representatives are feasting in Zimbabwe with government officials as many Zimbabweans starve due to government corruption,” said Rapaport.

The Voice to Parliament explained

Wednesday, August 30, 2023

Now we finally have a date for the Voice to Parliament referendum, it’s a good time to return to the terrific work our academic experts have done to explain the Voice to Parliament – as well as debunking some of the misinformation and disinformation we’ve seen so far.

Key Points:

Now we finally have a date for the Voice to Parliament referendum, it’s a good time to return to the terrific work our academic experts have done to explain the Voice to Parliament – as well as debunking some of the misinformation and disinformation we’ve seen so far.
Many of the questions we have addressed came from readers who took part in our Voice reader survey last year.
The Australian constitution and the 220-plus page report of the co-design proposed Voice are not very accessible for those of us who don’t speak fluent policy.

Helpful general information:

Pre-eminent constitutional scholar Anne Twomey reminds us of the referendum basics – what will it say on the ballot paper?
But what may have been forgotten is how we got here in the first place – and why it matters.
And is there a risk that proposals that are too detailed, or too vague, can end up being rejected by voters?
This article explores how factors such as race, religion, and experience with racial interactions may inform how these demographics could vote.

Constitutional and legal explainers

A constitutional law expert explains Legislation is an unsatisfactory way to institute a Voice to Parliament because, among other reasons, it would make the body insecure and vulnerable to the whims of different governments.
With 11 Indigenous politicians in parliament, why does Australia need the Voice?
Why is it legal to tell lies during the Voice referendum campaign?
Solicitor-general confirms Voice model is legally sound, will not ‘fetter or impede’ parliament Australia’s solicitor-general Stephen Donaghue provided the federal government with legal advice on the Voice to Parliament.

First Nations perspectives

Kelly Menzel explores the cultural and historical complexities behind many First Nations peoples’ apprehension or uncertainty around the proposed Voice.
Failure to incorporate Indigenous perspectives has contributed to decades of misinformed, ineffective policy such as the Northern Territory Intervention.
Why a First Nations Voice should come before Treaty A leading argument against the Voice to Parliament is that Treaty should come first.
Non-Indigenous Australians must listen to the difficult historical truths told by First Nations people In the Uluru Statement, alongside “Treaty” and “Voice”, there is also a call for “Truth”.

Voice, Treaty, Truth explainers

Since the Uluru statement was declared in 2017 we have heard calls from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander leaders for “Voice, Treaty and Truth”.
Our experts explained each stage of this process.
The Voice: what is it, where did it come from, and what can it achieve?

How did we get here?

The Voice alone won't solve the issues facing Indigenous people. Everyone has to do that work

This may be why many Australians are expressing hope the Voice to Parliament is going to solve such problems.

Key Points:

This may be why many Australians are expressing hope the Voice to Parliament is going to solve such problems.
Indigenous leaders, scholars, activists and community members have spent decades suggesting solutions to inequities in this country, which still haven’t been implemented.

Attention managers: if you expect First Nations' staff to do all your 'Indigenous stuff', this isn't support – it's racism

Indigenous people have already offered solutions

And expecting an Indigenous “Voice” to be a fix-all for inequities brought about by the colonial project is unrealistic and problematic.
As Indigenous academics have pointed out, often issues placed under Closing the Gap targets are lost in the list.
Indigenous leaders, communities and organisations have led research focusing on racism, Indigenous deaths in custody, the Stolen Generations, and the harm caused by the Northern Territory intervention.

What will be different this time?

The Voice to Parliament could potentially represent the views of Indigenous communities and hopefully assist in informing policy and legal decisions that impact our lives.
But the Voice to Parliament cannot solve the deeply entrenched racism and bigotry in Australian society, media, and institutions.
And expecting it to do so is assigning the role and responsibility of addressing racism to the people experiencing it.

Even if we get the Voice, non-Indigenous people still need to ‘do the work’

We cannot rely on one strategy to “solve” the racial divide in Australia.
The issues Indigenous People face need to be addressed now instead of passively waiting to see if we get the Voice to Parliament.

View from The Hill: Albanese should not try to make the Voice the only game in town in Indigenous affairs

Retrieved on:

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s attention is laser-like on the Voice, and trying to get up a yes vote.

Key Points:

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s attention is laser-like on the Voice, and trying to get up a yes vote.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, for a mix of motives, is focusing on the NT situation, as he campaigns against the Voice.
The issues are intertwined, not least because the government argues the Voice would help solve problems on the ground.
Dutton’s Tuesday appointment of NT Indigenous Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, as tough an opponent of the Voice as you could get, will probably assist the opposition leader’s no campaign.
(That is not to say the no side will prevail – it’s far too early for predictions.)
On the other hand, Price is inexperienced and so a risk, if she lets her emotions get the better of her when provoked.
But it is already clear the Voice issue has taken the scrutiny of Indigenous affairs into areas that make governments uncomfortable.
