by SEAN BURKE – FORMER Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce has described Anthony Albanese’s Voice proposal as “incredibly dangerous” and is confident it will fail in a referendum.
“The Albanese Government are crab-walking Australians to their new nirvana,” Mr Joyce told Sky News Australia last month.
- “I’ll tell you right now, the Voice referendum is going to go down.”
- “I said it at the start, I’ll say it again now.”
- Australians shouldn’t be shamed by the Left’s black armband view of history.
“We know what they are up to and this is part of the Left’s agenda.
“This is incredibly dangerous. You will have changed the operating manual of Australia, but you won’t have changed it.
SUCKER
“You will have just given authority to the Labor Party and the Greens to change it on your behalf – and if you fall for that sucker punch, God help you!”
Mr Joyce said Australia Day would be first to fall victim if the referendum was successful.
“The first thing that will happen of course – I hope you enjoyed your last Australia Day, because that one will go immediately if the referendum gets up,” he said.
“They’ll use executive powers to get rid of it, scrap it.
“As Anzac Day is a reflection upon those who served in our military, Australia Day, for me, is a reflection on those who served our nation in civil society in so many ways.”
Mr Joyce said Australians shouldn’t be shamed by the Left’s black armband view of history.
“If Australia wasn’t colonised by the British, it would have been the Dutch or Belgians or the French, Spanish, Portuguese or the Chinese or the Japanese,” he said.
“It was going to happen no matter what and we are very lucky that it happened under the rule of law that treated everyone equally and that slavery wasn’t brought about.
“And from that seed-bed of convicts – people who didn’t want to be here, guarded by people who didn’t want to be here and met by people who probably didn’t want them here – we have created this incredible egalitarian nation.”
Mr Joyce said the Australia nation was founded on freedom, justice and respect for each other.
JUDGE
“We don’t judge each other by caste, religion nor family,” he said. “Your lot is not predetermined by birth and I think that’s worth celebrating and so do most Australians to be quite frank,” he said.
“Most Australians are onto this gig by the Left. They understand where we are heading.
“The country is being recalibrated to fit the Left’s view and people won’t tolerate it.
“They’re stirring the pot and people are awake to this and they’re not happy.
“And I’ll tell you right now, the Voice referendum is going to go down.
“I said it at the start, I’ll say it again now. People are incredibly suspicious of this idea that you write a blank cheque and let the Labor Party and the Greens determine how they are going to fill in the numbers.”
He said there was a degree of deviousness in the Voice proposal.
“The people who designed the Voice are not stupid, I don’t agree with them, but they’re not stupid,” Mr Joyce said.
“The reason they want the Voice in the Constitution is so interpretations can be made by the High Court. And where that ends, gosh only knowns.
“Of course once it’s in the Constitution we’ll have court case after court case. There is not a piece of legislation in this country that doesn’t impact every section of Australian society, including Indigenous Australians.” PC
There goes Noel Jones again – what a twerp! The Voice will fail because it’s racist, divisive and totally unnecessary given that the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are already represented in Parliament – in fact they are proportionally over-represented in terms of population.
Also, many of us would support Australia becoming a republic if the Australian Republican Movement (ARM) was not dominated by scumbags like Turnbull and FitzSimons.
Even more than SSM, I am going to enjoy laughing in the faces of you old colonial monarchist bigots when the overwhelming yes votes proves, once again, that you are a lunatic fringe lurking on the extreme fringes of society.
All the previous initiatives made to lift the standards of aboriginal communities have failed. All the money thrown at different initiatives (billions) have come to nothing. There needs to be a royal commission into where all the money went and why the other initiatives failed before the Voice is even considered.
The investigations and inquiries 1990s into ATSIC (Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders Commission) revealed poor governance and corruption, the Canberra remote from country communities elite self styled Aborigines mostly with part Aboriginal ancestry were out of touch and more interested in politics than disadvantaged people.
So angry and frustrated were the people that they mocked the elite as being the “air conditioned Aborigines” and “Aborigines Talking Sh*t In Canberra” (ATSIC) etc.
Until it is finally acknowledged that here is no one Australian Aborigine tribal group or clan, hundreds with different languages and cultures, and that the children need education and counselling on how to seperate culture and modern economy many will continue to be left behind. On the other hand more have broken away than have not.
Recently former Labor MP and Cabinet Minister Gary Johns who opposes the voice proposal said that approximately 20 per cent of the 3.7 per cent of our population who have Aboriginal ancestry at least in part are the disadvantaged people.
The Aboriginal activists have been lobbying for change since at least their university student activist period 1960-1970, during the 1980-1990 native title debate they were demanding rights for a small minority over the much larger majority of fellow Australians based on claims of Aboriginal ancestry, at least in part, and therefore ignoring the British Colonial and later Commonwealth of Australia periods and migrants who for most activists are also ancestors.
Past history should not be forgotten, but that includes the hundreds of Aboriginal tribal groups, languages, cultural beliefs, in English language “religions” and many other factors including that there were no First Nations and tribal warfare was not uncommon, the tribal Aborigines were not all friends living in paradise. But the fact is that colonisation too place from 1788, and noting that when the First Fleet arrived in Botany Bay there were two French warships already at anchor and a camp established where now the suburb of La Perouse is located. After friendly discussions the French left.
Of course Albanese Labor is dominated by far left factions, Prime Minister Albanese, for example, is a follower of the late Russian Marxist Socialist Revolutionary, Leon Trotsky. The Aboriginal activists have long had friends in Union Labor. But also look up the United Nations indigenous peoples agenda and consider the so called “voice” and hidden details PM Albanese has repeatedly refused to make public, isn’t it obvious that the devil in the details would not be acceptable to most voters?
Right now there are “voices” meant to be advising governments, Federal, State and Territory. Examples;
* Prime Minister’s Indigenous Advisory Council.
* More than 30 Aboriginal Land Councils, over 50 per cent of Australia managed by the Councils.
* More than 2,700 Aboriginal corporations.
* Council of Peaks, representing 70 top Aboriginal organisations.
* Indigenous Australian ancestry Members of Parliament, Federal, State and Territory.
And, following the 1967 Referendum and changes to our Constitution if more “voices” were needed there is no need to change our Constitution, it could be legislated in Parliament as Labor did 1980s to establish the very expensive failure that was Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders Commission (ATSIC) that was abolished by Parliament following governance and corruption problems with the support of Labor.
What we certainly do not want is constitutional change followed by activist High Court challenges seeking to get what they have always been seeking, control and management of our country by some of 3.7 per cent Aboriginal ancestry claimants who are fellow multicultural ancestry Australians.
And later reject the Union Labor Greens push to create a republic, change our Constitution and install a Union Labor president to replace the constitution based Governor General appointed by our elected Members of Parliament in Government, by the Prime Minister. Our Constitutional Monarchy has proven to deliver one of the world’s best politically stable democracies, self governing and no higher authority than the High Court of Australia.
Nothing is more hypocritical than a monarchist complaining about racial preference.
LOL; the only thing you can do is troll, and you’re not even very good at that.
So says a slobbering old colonial who thinks a foreign monarch should reign over us, because he is too gutless to back Australia.
Constitutional Monarchy – look it up and stop embarrassing yourself.
Are you still “Noel Jones”?
I thought that you were going to change your name to a diverse and inclusive non-gender specific Aboriginal name – or are you simply too tightly tethered to your colonialist roots to even consider such a thing? (I assume that you understand that you are a racist oppressor by virtue of your mere presence in this country – have you started paying the natives “rent” yet?)
Obviously an ALP/GREENS plant so we will seriously just I G N O R E.
