My Exclusive Interview with the ‘Yes’ Campaign
All your questions answered.
Me: Isn’t the Indigenous Voice to Parliament racist?
You: Here’s Shaquille O’Neal
Me: But seriously, I don’t understand how giving a small group of people extra powers in the constitution because of their skin colour is not racist.
You: Here’s the PM and the Teals posing for photos with “Yes” written on their hands
Me: Ok. So you’re ignoring my point about inserting race into the constitution. Tell me this then. How will members of the Voice be appointed? I mean, won’t we just end up with a bunch of Indigenous elites sitting in Canberra on the taxpayer teat?
You: Here’s Paul Kelly
Me: You’re not answering my questions.
You: Here’s Tom Gleeson
Me: Seriously? Tom Gleeson?
You: Fine. Here’s a Qantas plane with ‘Yes’ painted on the tail.
Me: What will the Voice cost taxpayers annually?
You: Here’s Cathy Freeman
Me: How will the Voice make a difference when $30 billion a year to Indigenous organisations hasn’t?
You: Here’s Michael Long walking from Melbourne to Canberra
Me: Isn’t the Voice just a first step to treaty? And won’t that cost millions and millions of dollars?
You: Here’s Jonathan Thurston
Me: Constitutional amendments become lawyers’ picnics. Won’t the Voice end up having a whole lot of decisions challenged in the High Court?
You: Here’s Adam Goodes
Me: Seriously. If the Voice is consistently ignored and whether this may lead to a legal challenge.
You: Here’s Cate Blanchett
Me: Will the Treasurer be expected to brief the Voice on what’s included in an upcoming budget?
You: Here’s Evonne Goolagong-Cawley and Ash Barty
Me: It seems like you’re relying entirely on emotion and celebrity endorsements to sell this thing.
You: Here’s John Farnham
Me: It’ll take more to convince me to change the constitution than a John Farnham song.
You: Here’s MC Hammer
Me: It’s a big ‘No’ from me.
