Having this in the constitution means it must be listened too it cant just keep saying No, it puts all kinds of political pressure on the government and will cause all types of holds ups and issues if say No, and the government cant get rid of it, because dumb arse fools like you voted it into the constitution.

Not actually correct Indo. The government can, and if it is the LNP, it will, continue to say no to advice offered by the Voice.

Any political pressure will be based on whether the majority of Australians agree with whatever is being ‘advised’. If the vast majority of people don’t like the idea, the political pressure will be minimal. In any case, dealing with political pressure is, I think I can say with some justification, is actually part of the job description for a politician.

All your stated fears are just fears. Like most fears, they aren’t based in reality.

Lol... Viclocal...as if. If people gonna vote no cos someone abuses them then that's a great reason!! Honestly, it's remarks like this that insult my intelligence!! Arrogance does sometimes rear its ugly head but thats usually after too much idiocy has been sampled.
And i dont think abuse gets in the way of being truthful... adds a little spice but it's mainly from frustration, incedulity and being confounded by people's ignorance or blatant lies and/or/and stupidity. If one is ignorant one can be educated... but ppl like burley and indo have blinkers on... there's no hope for those MORONS.

Hey indo. If you love the date so much, why don't you marry it. Go on, indo. Marry the 26th of January. Ooh, it's gonna look so lovely in white, walking down the aisle. Such a wonderful date to marry too, summer all year round, so always a warm hugs. I wish you and Australia day all the best. Sorry to your current, and soon to be, ex-wife.

Geez it's only officially been in 26th Jan since 1994. Hardly an entrenched tradition! What a beat up.

As long as they keep it a public holiday so we can celebrate! :)

Completely WRONG thats pure ignorance.

Yes its only been a national holiday set on the 26th Jan since 1994 before that it was a floating holiday since 1946, but Australia day on the 26th Jan has a very long and rich history and i doubt changing it back to a floating holiday around the 26th would keep the haters happy.

It has been recognised as Australia day on the 26th Jan in all states since 1935 and celebrated in all states since 1946.

However its history goes back much further and the day was recognised by all states under other names except SA since 1888

In NSW even if it was know under different names, this history dates back even further to 1818

And in 1838 it became the fist public holiday in Australia at that stage in NSW only.

Yes the date has also been celebrated at various times on different dates, mostly during the war years but these were rare exceptions 1915 to 1919 period and most states way back had various nationalistic days but this is the date that has been adopted with the longest history.

BTW. there is also also a number of important aspect around the date that only reinforce its importance like

The Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 came into effect on 26 January 1949, creating Australian citizenship for the first time.

26 January 1824: The first mixed-race marriage happened, ironically it was between an Aboriginal women and a convict man and it was a long lasting marriage with 5 children.

It's just a date mate.
If it is upsetting to the original inhabitants of this beautiful country, I cannot see the big deal in changing it. Would be upset losing public holiday though. ;)
Obviously you do and that's ok. Should we still be singing God save the king also?

I mean... that's the whole point of the Voice. Look at all the knowitalls and commentators (myself included) on here... more than likely all non-Aboriginal. We're all entitled to our opinions but when it concerns another culture, well, isn't their opinion valuable as well? Us whiteys always have the answers, right or wrong. But... doesn't this speak for itself??

It doesn't matter what date the holiday or celebrations are on the Aboriginal activist brigade will never be happy until its completely gone, to them its just a date, but to many Australians its an important date, people can try to change it, they can move the public holiday but its like Christmas the date it really is on can never be changed, Australia day will always be 26th Jan.

IMHO its sad that people are so concerned about preserving others tradition and culture but happy to destroy their own, especially when we have such little.

The idea a date change would keep them happy is ridiculous, they will never be happy until the day is completely gone, its just a power play for them, just like the voice.

I call them Aboriginal activist brigade because thats what thy are, they are generally city folk of mixed Aboriginal heritage same type that are involved with the voice.

I think its really important not to categorise them and their views with other Aboriginal people or the ones Harry sees as being the real Aboriginals (the rare time i agree with him)

If you went to any community where there is a large indigenous population most couldnt give a fuck about Australia day, many have real issues to deal with, if the voice got up no Aboriginals in remote communities would be worried about Australia day, however those in the cities would because those in cities have very few real issues related to being an Aboriginal person, there issues are more likely to be the same issues other Australians have like increase in cost of living or housing be it rent increase or getting into the market.

Ha ha ...FFS grow up.

The basic premise of my post is calling out a group of Aboriginal city activist and making it clear that their views and actions shouldn't be seen as the views of wider Aboriginal people.

Basically dont judge or pigeon hole the actions and thought's of some with all.

How on earth can you have an issue with this?

Dunno Harry
Im not sure if its just a vocal minority saying no or Australia is as i guessed it was when this thread began.
It was encouraging to see 100000 people cheering before and after the welcome to country last weekend at the G. If thats any sorr of guage to go by in such a divisive period maybe theres hope yet.
And maybe its not as divisive as we're being led to believe. The media, social media comments and the very vocal minority tend to have a way with creating division.

"The media, social media comments and the very vocal minority tend to have a way with creating division."

Never a truer word spoken.

Indo I know you believe things that just pop into your head to be true but the reality is a different story .

It's been talked about by people like Jacinta but its also called common sense, you live in a community with all kinds of real life issue's, be in crime, domestic violence, drugs, drinking, suicide, mob violence, other things like crazy prices for food or fuel or just money issues, bills, food etc and making sure that last income payment gets you through to the next.

But hey its not those things that your worried about its what date other Aussie's celebrate Australia day, FFS its not the real world anyone that is worried about some date is as privileged as you an me.

BTW. I swear Avi did do a short episode doing exactly that but I can't seem to find it i remember a group of Aboriginal women looking at him with blank stares then laughing going WTF are you on about then, talking about the problems of meth in their community.

That’s a nothing response. Jacinta said it! Haha no doubt Jacinta has her story but it doesn’t reflect everyone’s experience. Stop painting everyone with the same brush just as she should.

See above and get fucked.

Im not sure if its just a vocal minority saying no or Australia is as i guessed it was when this thread began.

It was encouraging to see 100000 people cheering before and after the welcome to country last weekend at the G. If thats any sorr of guage to go by in such a divisive period maybe theres hope yet.

And maybe its not as divisive as we're being led to believe. The media, social media comments and the very vocal minority tend to have a way with creating division.

Hope yr right SR... But there's a lot of bogans out there who don't give shit about the blackfellas (and not just bogans)... and now a whole new emerging class of Sovereign citizens like burley and #boycottindo who don't trust govts and put all their trust in the internet authorities. Actually, burleys just a shitstirrer... a little troll while indo is the more dangerous type who often contradicts himself yet believes everything he says regardless of the suss sources... only a matter of time till he splits in two
