The SCAM of the Century

We are so lucky we have Jacinta Price who calls it as she sees it, up close and personal. Not from back in the big smoke where so many ignorant politicians stay and have an opinion based on down the line on party ideology. Shame on Them.

Its still a NO from me.

she is 100 percent right

it's ok to say the Jews, elite = jew, coloniser = jew, royalty = jew,

Surely a voice in parliament would be a democratic representation of First Nation views in order for it to be relevant?

Who gives a fuck what this divisive racist thinks

So true, the Voice is slowly being hijacked by city Lefty elites for their political agendas. Scary !

You should be ashamed of yourself

The indigenous people need to listen to this lady! She has their welfare front and centre! A future PM methinks!

She's getting desperate . What Elites is she talking about? .It can't be the Indigenous people who pushed through racism and discrimination of the past to achieve academic excellence. JNampijinpa Price is a disgrace .

They are. Called the wef. They want this shit. Elites.

The old 'elites labelling tactic'. Commonly used by the elites, to bamboozle the ignorant masses and make them vote against their own self interests.

She speaks to Paul Murray. Credibility lost.

Is this the same Senator that you castigated for not taking the oath seriously?

Ms Price will do & say anything for any credit credited to her account. Sold

These are the type of free thinking journalists that give one side of politics a voice, you have created this dangerous ignorant woman and given her a platform and a voice, Jacinta simply gets on her racist megaphone to sprout her I’ll informed misguided liberal propaganda

She is right, and the virtual signalling mob who have no clue about what goes on in communities.

Prominent senator 🤣🤣🤣

If they are against it ,I’m definitely voting yes

How nice, using fancy dress to pretend she is not a token.

PaulineHansonOz She is correct To mask a bad idea makeup it with good intention. Political exploitation and corruption is hardwired into this very bad idea. It’s ok to say NO

Jacinta Nampijinpa Price please run for PM, she is listening and acting on behalf of the people 🙌

LOL of course they did

PaulineHansonOz Why do you think AlboPM needs a token black person to talk for him... who is really pulling the strings.. I bet rich white people

Smart lady ☝️

What a joke, the IPA, the miners, the Murdoch press pushing the No vote are the elites

We now have another MP who has trouble telling the truth. I wonder who is pulling her strings.

That's a bit rich coming from an elite via SkyNotNews who suck up to elites.

its all aboriginal enterprise and time it was exsposed

Both sides are pushing agenda's good or bad

Jacinta I think she’s speaking from heart and has good intentions

PaulineHansonOz After the allegations on TV this morning about sexual abuse of very young children, she needs to stand up for her own and fix this. If she doesn't do anything she is all words and no action. Put your hand in the air for the abused!

Senator Jacinta Price and Lydia Thorpe both have indigenous blood and identify as Aboriginal. However, regarding 'The Voice' support, they appear to be identifying with their white 'right' side.

PaulineHansonOz Yes!!!!!!!🎯

We call it 'red washing' here in Canada. It is BIG for the media to paint FN as of one united and unanimous opinion on pipelines for example, when nothing could be further form the truth and isolated FN communities stand to suffer the most from the blocking of these projects.

Are these the people with indoor waterfalls Vikki Campion was warning us about? You and your mysterious 'elites' with their 'agenda'. Funny given the Murdochs and their editors actually are elites and do have a very clear agenda which is to make it easy for gas company profits.

So vote 'No' and have the referendum fail. Just don't bitch when nothing changes. There's just no pleasing some.

You mean this shameless promoter of alcohol, look at her guarding tha magnum like it’s her mob’s talking stick 🤣🤣🤣🤣😊

Agenda is to recognise history. Shocking!

Prominent?

Hahaha! Jacinta talking about elites…the daughter of a NT Liberal politician,then a politician herself ..how more elitist can you get. Then Warren Mundine married to Gerard Henderson’s daughter. Give us a break !

Gina's best mate in parliament is talking about shadowy elites?

Yeah but she's lying. She's from the party of the elites and the voice was a grassroots community concept.

100% Correct - keeping the gravy train rolling

Oh really? Prominent eh?

what if the voice doesn't listen to the aboriginal representatives? What if they ask for things that liberal doesn't agree to? Who are the representatives and do they have financial interests in labour, politics or business?

I don't recall ever seeing Aboriginals wearing a head dress, what is that all about?

who put this aboriginal agenda at the forefront of politics in the first place? Albo? It's an opportunity for the aboriginals to be centre stage, get a payrise to promote their party politics. Bottom line is, what is best for aboriginals and why?

load of bullocks & nonsense Its a process that's been underway 4many years with hundreds of participants & starting with the Statement from the Heart, not something invented in the last 12 mths If anything, a few elites like her are trying 2prevent Indigenous 🇦🇺 from having a say

Of course it has🙄 Sky “News” at its best. Opinion dressed up as News - Goebells would be proud.

So welcome to an inclusive Australia. Almost all policy and political outcomes seem to be run by a group of elites. All Australians need a grassroots voice in parliament.

Lol she's a Murdoch and IPA stooge. The Candace Owens of Australia, selling out her people for the right-wing cash.

I love how parliamentarians decry ‘elites’. Do they not realise that being in parliament actually makes them the elites?

Talk about not sticking up for your people!

Was a con to con money out of dumb soo gliders that made it all the way to the parliament & now she’s gotta think his to undo the mess. All of our go are elites including this “press”

I agree and that’s the way Albo wants it.

Who in Parliament is not pushing an agenda? That’s their job!

When does that not happen? It all boils down to money.

An Aboriginal Senator, she is 'The Voice' along with LindaBurneyMP the Minister for Indigenous Australian's. Wake up people!! Spending $100m on a useless Referendum because Albo said he would. Fixing Medicare and lowering taxes is more important!

Prominent 😂😂😂😂😂

“The elites” seem to be at the centre of all these 'conservative' naysayers' grievances. “The elites” are less likely to be elite than those abusing the term 'elites'.

It’s like everything all starts out with the right intention. Then get over taken by people with more extremist views.

She's absolutely correct

Can someone please clarify for me. If the Senator is wearing a traditional headdress in the Chamber... Is she woke?

Totally right , NO more taxpayers money to elite Aboriginals vote NO

Ok Jacinta.

we have a corporate criminal government time for the people's justice

If the referendum for the Voice doesn’t get over the line, Australia will still be talking about truth and treaty for the next 200 years. Be it on your head and the likes of Warren “did nothing” Mundine!

Jacinta, following the directions of the elites from the Murdochracy, is the definition of hypocrisy.

Well I suspect a genuine news outlet would ask her to provide the evidence to support that claim, oh I did say genuine news outlet so play on.

Is there any better things to do in Canberra or is wasting time and taxpayers dollars.

pretty sure she was talking about sky news australia ironic they say 'elites'

The current Voice debacle is what you get when you assume that the indigenous are homogeneous. VoiceToParliament Auspol2023 auspol

Disingenuous twaddle. She’s only interested in wrecking and has nothing positive to offer.

Bull dust

Fossil fuel people

Uncle Tom says what?

she is right and its on the no side that is pushing the agenda...

VoteYes

She is 100% correct. Those opposing it are not 'racist'. In fact, it's the other way around. They are opposed to more money being funnelled into the back (and front) pockets of a very small group of trough feeders (aboriginal and everything in between) who tapped into the stream.

She meant IPA

At a time when Australians are facing high inflation, crippling housing shortages and the worst energy, fuel cost of living rises, the divisive Voice is the biggest work of self-interest and misdirection in our political history. It's criminal and Albo should resign.

Breaking: retains it’s number 1 spot as the preferred news source for racists and bigots. Congratulations!🥇

Elites you say? Sounds reasonable, have always been out supporting first nations people. Auspol2023

She keeps receipts

Claimed - similar to opinion - not based on fact.

Correct and i bet those elites will get most of the money like always so its not about anything more than the few getting richer

That you are reporting on her is all the information on Ms Thorpe that I need...

....'the elites'...what dull dust is this?

What elites? I prefer the term hippie wankers

And look who’s sitting behind her. Another token coalition indigenous MP.

I think you’re the only one that thinks she’s prominent

Agree the Murdoch cooker elites are hijacking the debate

Yep

Of course they have - Mundine and Jacinta Price are hijacking the call for and Indigenous Voice.

Elites are the 'No' push. LNP just oppose everything without reading the 200 page document. Poor form (as usual). The generational voting move away from the LNP will bring their pathetic noise onto opposition benches for a long time to come.

Hey the dead cat stories aren't working .......your mates are about to be castrated at the Robodebt RC.

What has Price ever done She is an IPA stooge!

Elite is a word that has been hijacked by the right to be a negative.

They did the same to Sth Africa and destroyed it. Its really a tactic to destroy whites globally!

Define prominent...lol

‘….in a speech authored by Gina Rinehart’…….

The only elites Australians need worry about are the bums you employ Murdoch

Problem solved… there is your indigenous voice. Move on.

Yes I agree..Mundanes father in law Gerard Hendersons fingerprints are all over it …not forgetting the brewery sponsorship

should read 'Gina and i had a chat over drinks last night and we agreed (after 4 bottles of Mumm) that we elites need to tell other elites that it's a no from us'

Jacinta Price knows indigenous had been for centuries been beaten belittled spat on by white racist scums Their children stolen,dignity crushed,families broken, mentally abused driving them to hopelessness alcohol Jacinta wants no voice status quo to maintain that Evil traitor

Jacinta seems to consistently forget that the Voice came out of the indigenous Uluṟu Statement from the Heart and recent polling indicates overwhelming First Nation support… but as for all issues there are also some who disagree.

What elites

Of course the Left will claim and control it, just as they do with every other minority movement/cause

And their agenda is:Getting more $ billions to squander by just a few of them,without reaching the ones that need it,and not making one bit of deference in those peoples lives!I think there is a court case in progress now about the same thing that occurred a couple of years back!

Who could this prominent Aboriginal Senator be? I wonder.

Everything good get hijacked by these elite assholes! Lets start arresting some of them and take their wealth and build homes for the poor. I have a few names you may of heard of. BG JT CS GS etc

Is she talking about herself and the rest of the liberals? If so, yes she'd be correct

Price is a pathological liar.

socialclimber

Yet it’s nameless billionaires funding the NO campaign. Are they elites? auspol

Just repeat that claim Sky. Don’t analyse it. Just give it a megaphone

Makes it hard for none 1st Nation folk to get a handle on this debate of Yes or No when u have a fair bit of Division across 1st Nation folk as well 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ But then again, we reading/seeing this on a Murdoch Propaganda outlet, so maybe the noise is not that loud 🙄🙄🙄

Name them and tell us what the agenda is! In detail.

One of Dutton’s puppets

Ooh my

She is Absolutely Right.

The constitution is a rule book for governing. It serves all Australians equally. Singling out any group, no matter how well meaning, is repugnant. We have the same voice to parliament… one vote, one value. With the details hidden until after the vote, you’d be nuts to vote yes.

Spot on Jacinta! You’re a brave and patriotic woman. You like lots of us can see through this apartheid dressed up as something very different from what it is.

The Voice is not going to ‘advance the interest of Aboriginal people’Former Nationals leader John Anderson says the Indigenous Voice to Parliament will achieve the opposite of what Australians want, which is a “greater degree of harmony”. The no campaign - Recognise a Better Way - for a Voice to Parliament has officially launched with a six-member committee, which Mr Anderson is a part of. “I’m keen to join with four Aboriginal people – distinguished Aboriginal Australians – who can recognise that this is not ultimately going to advance the interest of Aboriginal people,” he told Sky News host James Morrow. “It will lead to co-governance, to a separatism. “We need to be focusing on unity and cooperation internally, not separatism.” Why didn't you achieve harmony with aborigines when you were Nationals leader? We need a voice to achieve harmony by giving recognition and dignity and respect to aborigines. And if ever there was a concept that would bog down the efficient operation of Government decision making…National, State and Local… it would be the voice and its demand for early input and obligatory consultation on a wide range of topics. VoteNo If they can fix Alice Springs on their own, I'll vote yes. Until then, it's a no.

Official campaign against Indigenous Voice to be launchedA formal campaign against the Indigenous Voice to Parliament will be launched today. A committee comprised of former and current MPs and Indigenous figures will argue enshrining a Voice to Parliament will negatively influence Australia's system of democracy. The campaign titled 'Recognise a Better Way' will propose a preamble to the Constitution and a new parliamentary committee focused on the rights of native title holders under existing legislation. Country Liberal Party Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price and former Liberal Party candidate Warren Mundine are among those leading the official 'No' campaign. As opposed to rupert's informal one Unforgivable

Voice opponents push for recognition of migrants alongside Indigenous peopleCampaigners against an Indigenous Voice to Parliament have called for constitutional recognition of migrants alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Why? '... however they are in a small minority. The vast majority of Indigenous Australians want The Voice to be introduced as it has been presented.' There, I finished the sentence for you. Migrants wrote it. We already have said enough. Time to listen!

‘No one’ knows how the Voice is going to work, ‘not even the Prime Minister’Former Labor minister Gary Johns says the reason he wanted to help organise the no campaign for the Voice is governments have set off to try and recognise Aboriginal people in the constitution and ended up with something “way over the top”. Recognise a Better Way has officially launched with a six-member committee as part of the no campaign for an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. Mr Johns said “no one” knows - not even the Prime Minister – how the Voice is going to work. “It’s a fantasy – it's a dangerous fantasy,” he told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. The problem with 'The Voice' is that it's deliberately ambiguous. Just like Save the Planet, Black Lives Matter, and Love is Love. It's a strategy designed to control the argument by controlling the language; and in turn, it fulfils a political agenda. voteno realnickholt This goose obviously also doesn't know how a referendum works either. The 'major' details are debated and legislated in Parliament after the majority vote yes. Are all races recognised in the constitution? If not why not?

Voice to Parliament is a ‘practical reform’Uluru Statement Signatory Thomas Mayor says the Voice to Parliament is a “practical reform” as Indigenous Australians are “tired” of symbolism. “It’s really about establishing the principle that Indigenous people should be listened to,” Mr Mayor told Sky News Australia. “We know that when Indigenous people are listened to about the solutions in their communities, then that is when things are gotten right. “It’s when we’re not listened to that things go wrong.” Is that near Ayres Rock? 🇦🇺 Practical reform would be to go through the 1000 orgs that already claim to be a voice & look at the end points along with cost V rewards. It’s costing billions & ignoring that & screaming we need more voices is purely creating a bigger hole

Albanese government 'ignored' end of Intervention-era alcohol bans, say Aboriginal groupsIndigenous groups say they received no proper support when the 15-year-old Commonwealth bans lapsed last year, as the NT and federal governments pledge funds for future solutions. So, despite LindaBurneyMP trying to blame the previous government, it turns out it was AustralianLabor that ignored the end of the bans, mismanaged the situation & disregarded the constant pleas from the NT government to put in place some form of plan to tackle these issues. 'We weren't the government when that decision was made,' Mr Albanese said last week. Make time AmandaRishworth AlboMP LindaBurneyMP & the wider AustralianLabor party are wholly responsible. They were warned. They chose to appease their inner city lefty mates rather than listen to those with lived experience. Every death, injury & crime is directly their fault.
