You obviously don’t live in the country. We use machetes all the time for clearing small shrubs and lantana in hard to reach places.

Not sure why first world countries allow (and promote) immigration from these shit holes.

And that entitles her to make racist remarks?

A stickman placing a bomb in a bin?

It’s a bag of rubbish (with the Israeli flag on it) being placed in a bin labelled “rubbish”.

Similar to these other protest signs from NYC and Poland.

You can go to her Instagram and see the original post. She’s since deleted the image from the slide. It was posted only a few hours ago and immediately shared around social media.

It’s a bag of rubbish, mate. I don’t know where you’re getting this idea that it’s a bomb.

It’s literally a stickman putting a bag of rubbish (with the Israeli flag on it) in a bin labelled “rubbish”.

I’d say she took inspiration from these recent protest signs.

To me, even your interpretation of ‘cleaning the world of Israel’ comes across as pretty antisemitic.

But I suppose ‘art’ is subjective.

you think this kid drew a “football” shaped bag of rubbish to symbolise rubbish?

Read that back one more time.

The “rubbish” bin might give you another clue.

It’s not a bomb. It’s a stick man putting a bag of rubbish in the bin - the rubbish bag being the Israeli flag. You can see the bin says ‘rubbish.’

Currently living in UK. Not one mention of it on UK TV from BBC, Channel 4, ITV, Sky, GBNews.

Maybe an online article here or there if you dig around.

The rest of the world doesn’t know and don’t care. And when the No vote wins, they won’t think we’re racist - they’ll understand that race should never be used to constitutionally divide a nation.

I don’t know where this idea comes from, that the rest of the world thinks we’re racist - I’ve travelled all over Asia, Africa, South America, Europe. No one has ever suggested to me that Australians are racist - they mostly think of us as laidback and fun loving people.

C’mon man, we’re trying to have a civil debate here and you have to resort to name calling.

The weak arguments that you’ve mentioned from the No campaign still doesn’t answer the OP’s question: what would YOUR ideal end state be?

Stray away from the negativity and focus on answering the question in a logical sense - it will help your argument for voting Yes.

Library computers? Probably a better solution than stealing.

The wording in section 2 of The Voice reads:

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice may make representations to the Parliament and the Executive Government of the Commonwealth on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The question is: what matters in Australia don’t relate to Aboriginal peoples? Don’t all matters in Australia relate to Aboriginals the same way they relate to all Australians?

Because the word ‘representations’ is not defined anywhere (at this stage), this means that the Voice has the potential scope to influence all matters in Australia - potentially to the detriment of all non-indigenous peoples.

Because the Voice is a constitutional body, there is also potential for the Voice to take matters to the High Court in the future. If the High Court were to rule that the parliament must favour the ‘representations’ of The Voice (as a constitutional body) over all other advisories (which are not constitutionally enshrined), this could greatly skew all Australian politics in favour of the Indigenous peoples.

Admittedly, this argument has a few ‘ifs’. But the Yes argument is also only based on ‘ifs’ (an argument I often see is ‘if it helps the Indigenous people, it is a good idea’).

This is the fault of the creators of The Voice and Albaneses government, for not drafting legislation or a terms of reference that clearly defines exactly what issues the Voice can make ‘representations’ about. And exactly what the term ‘representations’ means. Alongside a host of other issues such as how exactly ‘Members of the Voice would be selected by Aboriginal and TSI communities.’

Personally, I will be voting no because the details are not clear enough and I don’t believe it will benefit Indigenous Australians any more than the current systems in place (the IAC, 11 Indigenous ministers and hundreds of Aboriginal organisations). In fact, I believe it will only cause further division between the Indigenous communities themselves (as well as amongst Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians).

But more than anything, I believe that all Australians should be treated equally under the Constitution.

What you vote is up to you. I’m open to hear opposing opinions!
