'Time to listen': Labor takes first formal step towards Voice to Parliament

Mark Dreyfus says it is time for 'a different approach' to Indigenous disadvantage.Labor has taken the first formal step towards a First Nations Voice to Parliament, with Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus declaring it is time for "a different approach" to Indigenous disadvantage.

"The dispossession of their lands, languages and cultures, and top-down Government policies afflicted deep and continuing wounds on generations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their cultures.Mr Dreyfus said "we are failing" to close the gap on inequality with Indigenous Australians, despite the Mabo ruling and Apology to the Stolen Generations.

"I didn't take much notice of what was going on on the other side ... What I do know is that the government is absolutely all in on this," she said. “[We are] one step closer to creating a Voice that will make sure the voices of our people are heard, one step closer to improving lives with the Voice that makes a difference,” she said.

The deluded racists think racism by legislation is going to help reconcile. The left are lacking rational thinking almost entirely, or their racism is so ingrained that they can't see it.

So AlboMP has all that time to tell people what they are voting for all Australia neeeds is brave journalists who have it's back. Shame all we have is cowards.

VoteNOAustralia to racial discrimination.

Who'd of thought such a ridiculous proposition would cost citizens so much.

🙌🙌🙌

Australians all say NO

I’ll be voting no to race based division thanks VoteNOAustralia

The Voice should be known as The Grift.

Can't wait to vote No and see this stupid idea squashed once and for all. Aboriginal people do not deserve a separate voice to the rest of the nation.

🥱

Very glad to hear it! 👏

This isn't Canada. No such extended definition.

Best news I’ve heard all day. Congrats AlboMP

Clapping like performing seals to celebrate the clown show.

Let's get it done!

Vote NO

Waited 179 years to be recognised as human. Now only 56 years for Voice Referendum. Progress

Can't believe that Dutton did it again. First when Rudd said 'Sorry'. Now when Albo introduces the 'Voice'.
