It is sad that the Aboriginal ‘Voice’ referendum is exploiting Aboriginal people in Australia. A lot of Australian citizens are going to vote “No” in the Aboriginal ‘Voice’ referendum because they rightly suspect that there are people who will use the ‘Voice’ for their own purposes, such as dispossessing white Australian citizens from land that they own in Australia, without genuine regard for the well-being of Aboriginal people in Australia.
Nobody who reads the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which is the basis for the Aboriginal ‘Voice’ to the Australian federal parliament, can deny that Aboriginal people in Australia have legitimate grievances about the manner in which they have been treated by other Australian citizens in the past and that they are absolutely correct that their ancestors occupied Australia before white people arrived in Australia from Britain.
