"The Australian Penny drops on the Voice

At long last the national commentariat is twigging to why the Voice is highly likely to be voted down.

It isn’t that we are a nation of racists, who don’t care about the plight of aboriginal Australians. It is that the people pushing hardest for us to vote yes are those we have simply lost trust in to act in our interests, rather than their own.

The vote on the Voice has become a vote of confidence in our elites. And if the only way to get through to them, that we have no trust in them, no confidence in their ability to piece together a narrative which reflects a world we are seeing, and no belief in their ‘leadership’ is to vote no to something they are all pushing for, then it currently appears that Australia will vote no.

‘Them’ is our politicians, senior bureaucrats (State and Federal), academics, business leaders, and executives, a range of high profile institutions, and very large sections of the opinion pushing media. They need to change their game, and to start acting in the broader national interest, as opposed to the narrower sectional, institutional or personal interest.

Their problem is that they aren’t very elite at all. Their vision for us as a nation is cast in terms of bare minima. They like their cars from Europe, their electronics from North Asia or the US and their finances handled by banks in New York or London. They like holidays offshore, as well as their income streams, unless those income streams are harvesting us. Their entire frame of reference is somewhere else. For the most part they despise us, and are only too ready to point to our racism, or an access to housing and quality of life which they felt a little too easy a generation ago. Most fundamentally they are all too dismissive of the economic stress Australian households are experiencing for going along with their elite mantras for the NeoLiberal era. They want us to pay more and work harder – for them. They want obeissance or, better still, deference.

The tragedy is that they are holding aboriginal Australia, and their totally legitimate right to better life outcomes as a section of society, up as a human shield.

All the old techniques for bullshitting the public are there. The general easily supportable idea, no real detail about what it actually means or narrative on how it leads to the better outcome plenty of people want, no real identification of downsides or costs. It’s a ‘good’ which delivers for some but not much for many. The all too obvious question for far too many people is ‘what aren’t we being told about this?’ And the problems of the ‘elite’ start there. The many have been watching this unfold for years, over countless issues.

Crocodile tears on house prices – check. Immigration volumes – check. Free Trade agreements – check. Privatisation of energy – check. Privatisation of Public Services – check again. Workplace flexibilities – check. Taxation offsets for ‘investment’ which do nothing but encourage speculation – check. Taxation offsets for the relatively affluent, but not mainstreet – check. War in Iraq or Afghanistan – check. Same sex marriage – check. First home owner grants – check some more.

All the while real issues apparent on ordinary streets in ordinary Australia either don’t get answered, or, all too often, aren’t allowed to be asked, or are immediately smothered in some accusation to belittle those asking. These people think they are ‘managing’ us. They don’t think – to themselves – they are leading us, and don’t think of themselves as accountable for ‘leadership’. They think that managing us gives them the right to lie to us, or determine what facts are acknowledged or not acknowledged, and to be as spurious as they deem appropriate (to suit their ends).

What you see as the politics of the margins and the polarisation of nothing I agree with, but I see it as something else too.

I see it as ‘denial’ as psychologists might refer to it"

Q&A Monday was a good example of the above I reckon. I only tuned in for the first question or 15 mins or so - and was distracted so not following - so my take is loose. When asked to comment on the rate of immigration to Australia - Pearson offered the usual stock standard (along with the other female non-indig guest) "let's not be racist" or words to that effect. I felt that was a pretty cynical leadership position on a matter of national interest especially given the times. To be fair Pearson along with the other guest had some self-awareness at least to not go to the usual "You're ALL" racist and soften it with "Let's NOT" be racist when it comes to responding to Australia's population carrying capacity.

It's moments and positions along with other long term and recent policy failures like this that fuel the disengagement and distrust the article speaks to.

I'm voting yes by the way.

gsco the history when I was learning was a disappointment, for the great turning points and important events were replaced by a focus on the minutiae; digging around and finding small aspects that hadn't been mentioned. So I got into that. It looks like it has become more extreme now. The essential skills of gathering primary documents, working out the voices recording them, and synthesising a view from this probably remain. The most threatening thing I found in my kids' education was an upper school program that replaced critical thought with a focus on interpreting text or events from 'how you feel' which I argued would lead to a more volatile expression of views in the society and divorce reason from debate. Luckily we had homeschooled and the kids were wised up enough to see this method in light of critical thought.

It's important to preserve a record of the history of our peoples, before the time it was altered. Written history becomes our memory, our stories, and carry forward our knowledge and values.

@Basesix "I think the world's societal woes are SOOOO much more about 'class' and lack of choices in life than anything to do with gender or race."

Exactly, class issues have never gone away and, since neoliberalism became hegemonic and eliminated class from the discussion, identity has stepped in as some sort of very poor substitute.

this was pre trump...

we should have seen a real correction by now...

but, but, but, ... trump!

"...This is American politics at peak neoliberalism, where a distorted version of identity politics is used to defend an oligarchy and a national security state, celebrating diversity in the management of exploitation and warfare..."

" ..The thing about Clinton's newfound identity politics crusade that has planted so many palms across left-wing faces is that Clinton is brazenly channeling the latest racial and gender justice discourse to block a racially diverse working-class assault on the oligarchy she has long defended—it's just too much. All of the important struggles that Clinton cites cease to be intersectional the moment they are abstracted from political economy..."

"..."In general, [this approach] smooths over class differences within black populations," Spence explains, "and in so doing embraces a form of brokerage politics that elevates the needs of a subset of elite blacks over the needs of black populations in general.”

Clinton, writes Boston Globe columnist Derrick Z. Jackson, is trying to distract from the fact "that Wall Street investors and bankers play a huge role in discriminatory redlining, predatory lending, and foreclosures," as she "shamelessly counts on blacks for support while she is engaged with the system that holds back the aspirations of too many black people."..."

Just this paragraph shows your true ignorance costco... a really dumb statement. It's so obvious you don't understand the theory and exemplifies all your other anti-intellectualist posts. No wonder yr sucked into the whole rightwing whacko conspiracy rabbit hole... so sad that uneducated and misinforming people believe their own bullshit. I had a mate the same... did a BA in Aboriginal Studies... did ok but was obviously overwhelmed by the sophistication of the theory so turned 180 degrees and started his internet education...Alex Jones etc... the guys a raving nutjob now, much like a few on here... very sad state of paranoia/inferiority/rage at own feelings of personal powerlessness etc... very Trumpian symptoms...much like a few on here

It has all gone fairly well to this point: western pillars and aqueducts and westminster and krispy kreme. And now, aligning with an awkwardness in your life, there is something going badly wrong. It is not to do with you, your social position, your attitude, your perception, it is the WORLD that has the problem. YOU are at the cusp of something full-on. YOU can perceive it. YOU can explain it. YOU can see through it. Thank YOU for explaining it to us. We are small. You are HUGE gsco. And we thank you.

...romanticising the primitive dominates Australian intellectual and cultural life, becoming an obsession and virtually a religion.

Millions of Australians now obsess over the idea that race matters above everything and accept racist absurdities: people of Aboriginal descent are inherently wise and good-natured as well as naturally expert custodians and conservators of the land, while people of non-Aboriginal descent are, by nature and in contrast, alienated and unconnected.

Every day, mil­lions of people take part in cult practices that divide the world into indigenous and non-indigenous, believing a far­rago of New Age Aboriginal spirituality proclaims the one true path to moral improvement.

Romancing the Primitive defends science against superstition and liberalism against thralldom, seeking to reinstate genuine intellectual inquiry and discovery and build debate on real information. Along the way, the narrative critically visits the Uluru statement, the High Court and education in Australian schools and universities.

You've already looked into it, cool. There is certainly room for an alternate history. An historical separate sovereignty, to put it in today's terms.

Anthro lecturer was hardcore romancer back in the day. His spiels contradicted the actual research using primary sources and cognitive dissonance was evident. I just couldn't see the nobility in burning out your unliked neighbours when the wind favoured it.

Did you know that prehistory is currently undergoing a massive upheaval and revolution due to the mapping of the genome and the application of genetics to tracing early human evolution and migration patterns. The revolution is putting a lot of those Aboriginal Studies courses universities are currently offering in quite shaky ground.

For instance, DNA evidence is now disputing the standard "out of Africa" theory, and they've discovered that Aboriginal Australians have the highest percent of both Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA of all peoples on the planet. Here's a map from the book Who We Are and How We Got Here: Ancient DNA and the New Science of the Human Past from one of the leading experts in the field:

Also, due to this they're starting to ask questions about and look into whether Aboriginal Australians are actually the original inhabitants, or if there was a Denisovan peoples here first that interbred with Aboriginal Australians and then went extinct. In any case, they seem to now believe that there was a Denisovan peoples at least very close to Australia that went extinct due to the migration of Aboriginal Australians into Australia, and that left its DNA marker (up to 5% Denisovan DNA). A passage from the same book:

I read the above book and intend to read: The World Before Us: How Science is Revealing a New Story of Our Human Origins which is from another leading expert in the field and detailing the latest findings.

"The Australian Constitution was drafted in the 1890s and came into force in 1901. The original Constitution was approved through referendums in each of the colonies, but many people, including women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and people who did not own property, had limited or no voting rights. The framers (who were all white men) included the concept of ‘race’ within the Constitution, as they intended for the new Commonwealth Parliament to be able to pass laws that discriminated against people on the basis of race. In particular, they sought to pursue the White Australia Policy, where the rights of white Australians were given preferential treatment in relation to immigration, employment and movement."

Hey hellman behind your keyboard.
You wanna reply to this? Or gonna run away scared again?
"It's very obvious Burleigh is just a troll.
Can anyone recall him ever posting anything of substance?
Its in his name. Berley. Just here to get bites.
I ask you Berley, why are you here?
One of the reasons i browsed back through the beginning of this thread earlier was to see where it all came undone, because it was a very respectful discussion at one point.
Pretty much all the same posters that are still here, except you, were all posting thoughtful, insightful, or at the very least attempting to debate with at least some level of research.
But there was never a snarky, ill educated sniper like yourself that would constantly berate users without actually posting any thoughts or researched facts of any substance like yourself.
All you do is post instagram links of suss looking groups of sovereign citizens and name call other users.
So i ask you Burleigh. What are you actually doing here?
If not to actually debate, you're just a troll and i'm pretty sure that goes against the code of conduct set out by this website."
