James Reed today covers the issue of your PM Albo dodging the issue of a treaty arising from the Voice if successful as the next big thing. If the rest of the world is any judge, this is inevitable, as why go for a purely symbolic gesture, as Albo says it is, when the big dollars can be roped in?
Take California as an example. Reparation plans for Blacks, most of whom do not had ancestors who were slaves, would bankrupt the state. San Francisco’s African American Reparations Advisory Committee wants “5 million lump sum payment to each eligible person and additional $97,000—adjusted to median income—each per year for the next 250 years; home, renters, and commercial insurance paid by the city; selling condominiums for $1 to eligible residents; and tax abatement on sales tax for the next 250 years”! The idea is that the mythical legacy of slavery will continue for 250 years, which is beyond absurd, but it shows the level of greed involved here.
