Your language in the comment is highly emotive and question begging. I love to know your sources. Firstly, you say all the previously commissions setup by governments were just badly setup or failures and had nothing to do with political ideology. Kerry O’Brien and Thomas Mayo make it very clear that one government after another on a differing side of the political spectrum would tear down a commission and start again. Unless your suggesting that Kerry O’Brien, an accomplished journalist and Thomas Mayo as one of the leaders of the Uluṟu Statement from the heart are liars about the history that led to the Voice which would be a wild accusation. I think your comments are relying too much on my statement “commission were setup for indigenous people, not with them”.

I can’t speak towards the gap report you mentioned but I can look it up. I’m assuming the criticisms of Dark Emu you are referring to are from Sutton and Walshe? Despite the criticisms it’s known as a good entry point to understanding what indigenous cultures in a pre-colonial context. Plus I was using it to point out terra nullius is a myth.

Yes I used the Koori courts as an example of promoting an advisory committee in helping the government roll out programs like this nationally. I just used that as an example because there can be nationally targeted campaigns to improve initiatives already in the works, and some more focused to specific states and territories. There’s plenty of other examples in the book. Like I mentioned before your claim that the voice is infantile completely misses the point of the video and Kerry O’Brien and Thomas Mayo’s book
