Following the Money Trial After the Voice By Peter West

Here is what really needs to be done now the voice referendum farce has ended in a pile of ashes for the Yes mob. As proposed by leading No campaigner Warren Mundine, the time for accountability has come. As he says, billions have been spent on the indigenous communities each year, but where is the money actually going, and does it really get spent the way the books may say? “There are programs that have done good work. There are other programs that have gone backwards. So we’ve got to really focus on how we are spending our money and getting the outcomes we need, working with the people on the ground.”

I would really like to know as well where  my tax payer dollars go, since I have to be subjected to all the black arm band guilt from the cultural elites. Am I getting bang for my buck? I certainly am getting abuse for my use!

“Leading No campaigner Nyunggai Warren Mundine said the next step following the No win is to examine spending, echoing earlier comments from the Coalition.

“The first one is about this accountability,” he said on ABC.

“[It’s] not about blaming or attacking people - about, look we’ve been spending billions every year. What has worked and what hasn’t? Really do a surgical approach to that about performance. How do we perform better?

“There are programs that have done good work. There are other programs that have gone back wards. So we’ve got to really focus on how we are spending our money and getting the outcomes we need, working with the people on the ground.”

Mundine agreed with government assessments that the Voice was unlikely to pass without bipartisan support, and said the blame for that lay with Labor.

“You have to reach out to the other side and you have to have a conversation with them and come together on supporting that. That was the first mistake,” he said.

The second mistake Mundine said was failing to provide more detail on the Voice to parliament proposition when it became clear through polling that everybody wanted more information.

“[There were] a lot of Australians, I know, who wanted to vote Yes but voted no because of those two things,” he said.”
