YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJohn reads an opinion piece he recently penned for The Australian newspaper. He outlines the concerns that he holds in regards the proposed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament.
John and many others are not convinced that the Voice will achieve anything positive beyond a very short-lived rush of joy for those in favour of it. In fact, John suggests, the Voice to Parliament will actually prove to be detrimental to the cause of Indigenous disadvantage, for it will beget divisiveness and cynicism, and its politics will prove to be a distraction from the very practical challenges of closing the gaps in health, education, domestic violence, substance abuse, employment, and income.
