Comment on Why Keating’s greatest speeches still matter after the Voice failed

Really need to stop treating the yes-/no- vote as a dichotomous measure of intent or understanding.

It erases the substantial indigenous (& -allied) positions of profound dissatisfaction and misgivings towards the voice proposal – that it would entrench problematic power structures within indigenous representation; that it would be legally ineffective and unnecessary for its purpoted aims; that it would legally undermine recognition of first-nation sovereignties; that it was a pissweak alternative to working towards treaties; and more.
