She is an example of why the currently elected "voices" does not work. Because they are always party first, and indigenous second.
She is a contributor to the Australian newspaper, political commentator to sky news, and representative of country liberal party. So she has to follow the party line, otherwise, all of her job roles and income streams will be in jeopardy. The ABC wouldn't have her. And it is silly and blinkered to assume, as you seem to, that ALL Aborigines are supposed to think like Burney or Pearson or Grant or Langton. It is this myopic, condescending 'mob mentality' that Price is such an elegantly, articulate and with good humour counter-weight to. No wonder Burney's first thought was 'betrayal'. Betrayal of the Aboriginal party line of victimhood and outsourced responsibility with zero accountability. Of course different people have different opinion on different things. But when it comes to the voice, 80 to 90% of indigenous Australians support the VOICE and constitutional recognition. And I am sure, those 80 to 90% does not earn income from the country liberal party. What makes you think that? Quote:The results, they said, were lopsided enough that support was most likely above 50 per cent, though due to the caveats, it was difficult to determine whether support was at or above a more specific level. FACT CHECK your link says he was correct when he said 80 - 90 percent want it. It's fact check taking guesses as to why it might not be incorrect. Until you come up with a poll that shows otherwise, guesses don't cut it. Why is this uneducated, ignorant, unemployed Abo Five Foot Frodo the Dodo Dumbarse in my topic pretending to post as though he’s finally understood something?
