More positive news about the Voice

Yesterday’s activism in support of the Voice has made an excellent impression. See: 

“Yes campaign ramps up with new $20m ad campaign and rallies around Australia”   https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/sep/16/yes-campaign-ramps-up-with-new-20m-ad-campaign-and-rallies-around-australia   

“Launch of ad promoting the yes vote ahead of the voice referendum coincides with Walk for Yes events in major cities”  

The following is also interesting, and, in my opinion, lends further support to the Voice: 

“Karla Grant discovers Norway’s Indigenous Voice shows there’s ‘no easy path to being heard’ ”   https://thenewdaily.com.au/indigenous-voice/2023/09/16/karla-grant-norway-voice/   

“Some 34 years before Australia’s vote on constitutionally enshrining an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, the Sámi people of Norway created their own representative body to have their voices heard. ... While some in Australia argue the Voice to Parliament is a radical change of the status quo, Ms Grant said she didn’t see anything radical about what is happening in Norway. ... “How many First Nations people around the globe have their own parliament, I don’t think there are many at all, but it’s a huge step forward in terms of self-determination.” ”

 

Assumptions / basis 

In writing this, I have assumed / started from the following: 

• this blog states quite clearly that it is about political and human rights matters, including lived experience of problems, and thus I will assume readers are reasonable people who have noted the content warning in the post header;

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlight possible flaws / issues you should consider:

• there may be flawed logical arguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ free online course “Clear and Present Thinking”; 
  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinking caps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.
