The Voice referendum failed for the following reasons:
- It did not have the support of Aboriginal peoples.
- The general public did not understand what they were voting for. Issue was not clear in the questions.
- It did not enjoy bipartisan support.
- The Referendum of Voice did not separate the issue of Informed Consent and Aboriginal Sovereignty.
- Like 1967, the same mistake was repeated, White people deciding what’s right for Aboriginal peoples.
- Truth Treaty Voice was in reverse. A Truth Commission needs to look at Ownership of land post Actions of the Crown, how land was acquired from Aboriginal people.
We need a just and fair process, a National Treaty Debate.
Truth is ownership of the PAST. Other matters need action, including adopting the Declaration on the Right of Indigenous Peoples’, National Land Rights and the International Labour Organisation 169 Convention, which recognises Indigenous peoples’ right to self-determination.

I’m Proud to Say I’m an Aboriginal Man
By Matthew
I’m sick of doing crime, I’m sick of doing jail. It’s time to put pen to paper, and send this in the mail.
