What's the spin behind the National Party rejecting The Voice?
I heard for the announcement the Nats had an Indigenous Party member on hand. Are they claiming The Voice as proposed is bogus, bits and pieces of commentary I have read suggest it was spun that The Voice proposal doesn't go far enough in giving Indigenous Australian's an official role to play in the political forum.
Yet politically the actions seem to be the exact opposite of the declared intent.
Millennials will accept this as a right of opinion in a post truth era, no matter how obviously bogus the spin is.
Politically, I neither for or against, in fact I'm fairly disinterested. But I do expect elected officials and parties are held to account, and on both sides of this debate there appears to be disingenuous behaviour. One side states it supports the cause while throwing roadblocks in the way, another side campaigning for equality effectively rejects the proposal because it's not positively biased enough for them to recommend proceeding. Somewhere, hidden in the dirty details, away from the public's prying eyes, lives motive. Why don't they just spit it out their dirty little secrets!
I don't blame people for having a bias, an opinion or a belief, just don't push it on me by stealth!
