As a migrant, Nalini in issue 403 (A migrants view) might have missed the fact that the First Nations people were massacred at worst and discriminated against at best.
Migrants’ languages weren’t banned, their children were not taken away to be made British, they were always counted as humans.
She might also have missed the Aussie spirit of looking after the disadvantaged and those in need of help.
The Surf Life Savers, Rotary and the RFS are examples to us all.
The rest of us won’t miss out by giving the people whose children are more likely to end up in gaol than university a say in what is done for them.
Well-meaning governments have made so many mistakes in the past.
Let the First Nations people guide the decision makers to improve their health, employment and education up to the standard that migrants take for granted.
“If you don’t know, vote no” is a call to ignorance.
They don’t want you to know the facts.
The people opposing this simple Voice also speak against migrants.
We should all give the custodians of this land for 60,000 years an Aussie fair go.
