Who Qualifies for the Voice? By James Reed

In a very good piece, behind a paywall, alas, Senator Alex Antic reports on his response from the Attorney General’s Department about the question: how is Aboriginal descent established? How does one prove indigenous descent, which is highly relevant to the Voice? But the Department could not tell him, or would not, saying that the question was “not appropriate,” and true to form, a Labor minister saw the line of questioning “borderline racist”! And when asked if the Department was concerned about people falsely identifying as indigenous, the question was said to be too “hypothetical.” However, as I see it, it is not a hypothetical question, given the rapid rise in people identifying as indigenous, faster than normal demographics, so there is a case to examine, at least.

As Senator Antic says: “the ‘Voice’ is not about helping Indigenous Australians, but about further expanding the bureaucratic class, trashing our heritage, and exacerbating the victimhood mindset that the left uses to make people dependents.”
