Why is the indigenous voice to Parliament so controversial? - eviltoast

I thought a group dedicated to ensuring the matters affecting any group of peoples are represented in Parliament would be a good thing. And if this is not “good enough”, how will it have a worse outcome than voting no.

    Yours is the most just understandable explanation so far. But I don’t know if I understand this ‘progressive no’ argument.

    I believe we, the Australian people, owe the indigenous peoples a greater weight on those opinion. This is their land after all.

      Not everyone would agree with you on that belief though, hence some of the disagreement.
