Media Release | Indigenous ‘voice’ will create Australian apartheid

Australia has no need for an indigenous ‘voice to Parliament’ with 227 legislators – including 11 who identify as indigenous – representing their voice in Parliament.

One Nation leader Senator Pauline Hanson said the ‘voice’ would effectively create apartheid in Australia, giving a minority of Australians more political franchise than the majority based on race.

“Apartheid in South Africa was unsustainable because it was divisive, unfair and unjust,” she said. “It was just plain wrong. One adult, one vote is the only democratic system that is free and fair.

“Yet it appears the Albanese government wants to wind back the clock and impose apartheid on the Australian people by giving a minority of Australians more political power than the majority based on their race. How is this proposal anything but divisive?

“It’s obvious that today, being indigenous is no barrier to being elected to represent Australians in our parliaments – especially the Federal parliament, where indigenous people represent almost 5% of elected members compared to 3.2% of the Australian population identifying as indigenous.

“As a senator for Queensland I’m required by the Constitution to represent every constituent in the state, indigenous or otherwise, and that’s what I do: I’ve raised many matters with the government on behalf of, and at the behest of, indigenous Australians. Many other representatives do this as well because, you know, that’s the job we’re elected to do.

“So you’d be forgiven for asking why a ‘voice to Parliament’ is necessary with this growing chorus of indigenous voices already being heard in our legislative chambers, bringing indigenous perspectives to debates on laws which affect all Australians.”

Senator Hanson challenged the Albanese government and ‘voice’ proponents to provide the details and costs to the Australian people before rushing to a referendum.

“We don’t know who will be eligible to stand for election to the ‘voice’, who will be eligible to vote, where and how it will operate, precisely what legislation it will require to be consulted about, and how much all of this will cost the Australian taxpayer,” she said.

“Indigenous Australians minister Linda Burney says a referendum on the ‘voice’ should not be about what the proposed body would look like in detail. She’s wrong: it must. What’s the harm in giving us the model? Why keep Australians in the dark?

“Why insist that we support this proposal with no detail when only this week, when asked if he’d like to see an advisory opinion on climate change endorsed by Pacific leaders and progressed in the United Nations, the Prime Minister told reporters: ‘…of course we haven’t seen the details…so it’s hard for any nation to just sign off sight unseen’.

“These are words the Prime Minister should live by. If you can’t trust Australians with the details of the ‘voice’, why should Australians trust you?”

A Facebook friend posted this... an important read for all Aussies...
Australia Day has nothing to do with the first landing of Captain Cook - and everything to do with ALL OF US.

Since Australia Day January 26, 1949, we ALL became Australians. 🇦🇺
This is a lengthy read, but explains beautifully the reason behind this celebration.
__________________________
WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT AUSTRALIA DAY?
This was written by Ray Payne OAM.
Australia Day does not celebrate the arrival of the first fleet or the invasion of anything.
Captain Cook did not arrive in Australia on the 26th of January. The Landing of Captain Cook in Sydney happened on the 28th of April 1770 - not on the 26th of January 1770.
The First Fleet arrived in Botany Bay on the 18th of January. The 26th was chosen as Australia Day for a different reason; however, Captain Cook's landing was included in Australia Day celebrations as a reminder of a significant historical event.
Since the extravagant bicentenary celebrations of 1988, when Sydney-siders decided Captain Cook's landing should become the focus of the Australia Day commemoration, the importance of this date for all Australians has begun to fade.
Now, a generation later, it's all but lost.
This is because our politicians and educators have not been doing a good job promoting the day. Our politicians have not been advertising the real reason for Australia Day, and our educators have not been teaching our children the importance of the 26th of January to all Australians.
The media, as usual, is happy to twist the truth for the sake of controversy.
In recent years, the media has helped fan the flames of discontent among the Aboriginal community. Many are now so offended by what they see as a celebration of the beginning of the darkest days of Aboriginal history, they want the date changed.
Various local Councils are seeking to remove themselves from Australia Day celebrations, even refusing to participate in citizenship ceremonies, and calls are going out to have Australia Day on a different day.
The big question is, why has the Government allowed this misconception to continue?
Captain Cook didn't land on the 26th of January. So changing the date of any celebration of Captain Cook's landing would not have any impact on Australia Day, but maybe it would clear the way for the truth about Australia Day.
The reality is, the Aborigines in this country suffered terribly under the hands of British colonialism. This is as much Australia's history as the landing of the first fleet, and both should be remembered, equally. Both should be taught, side by side, in our schools.
Australians of today abhor what was done under British governance to the Aborigines. We abhor what was done under British governance to the Irish and many other cultures around the world.
So, after the horrors of WWII, we decided to fix it. We became our own people.
On the 26th of January 1949, the Australian nationality came into existence when the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 was enacted. That was the day we were first called Australians and allowed to travel with Passports as Australians.
Under the Nationality Act 1920 (Cth), all Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders born after January 1, 1921, gained the status of British subjects. In 1949, therefore, they automatically became Australian citizens under the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948.
Before that special date, all people living in Australia, including Aborigines born after 1921, were called 'British Subjects' and forced to travel on British Passports and fight in British wars.
We all became Australians on the same day!
This is why we celebrate Australia Day on the 26th of January!
This was the day Australians became free to make our own decisions about which wars we would fight and how our citizens would be treated. It was the day Aborigines were declared Australians.
Until this date, Aborigines were not protected by law. For the first time since Cook's landing, this new Act gave Aboriginal Australians by inference and precedent the full protection of Australian law.
Because of this Act, the government became free to help Aborigines, and since that day much has been done to assist Aboriginal Australians, including saying 'sorry' for the previous atrocities done before this law came into being.
This was a great day for all Australians!
This is why the 26th of January is the day new Australians receive their citizenship. It is a day which celebrates the implementation of the Nationality and Citizenship Act of 1948 - the Act which gave freedom and protection to the first Australians and gives all Australians, old and new, the right to live under the protection of Australian Law, united as one nation.
Now, isn't that cause for celebration?
Education is key! There is a great need for education on the real reason we celebrate Australia Day on the 26th of January. This reason needs to be advertised and taught in schools. We all need to remember this one very special day in Australia's history, when freedom came to all Australians.
What was achieved that day is something for which all Australians can be proud!
We need to remember both the good and the bad in our history, but the emphasis must be the freedom and unity all Australians now have, because of what was done on the 26th of January 1949, to allow all of us to live without fear in a land of peace.
Isn't it time all Australians were taught the real reason we celebrate Australia Day on Jan 26th?
