Australia’s rejection of 'The Voice' is not a throwback of Indigenous Australians

For Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese, his fate could go the way of Ben Chifley in 1947, when he tried to nationalise the banks, through legislation. The High Court at the time declared the law invalid, which was affirmed by the Privy Council, Australia’s top court at the time. The Chifley government lost office in the 1949 election, which was replaced by a conservative government, that ruled for decades.

If ‘The Voice’ did get up anyway, it could have legitimately been challenged due to Australia’s responsibility to uphold and adhere to the principles in the United Nations ICERD accord.

History has a habit of repeating itself.

It really looks like certain groups tried to force something upon Australia’s Indigenous peoples, which they themselves didn’t want. This must be called for what it is, an abuse of Indigenous Australians.
