The federal National Party announced in late November it would oppose Labor’s proposed Voice to Parliament after consulting with Indigenous communities across the country.
Nationals leader David Littleproud says a Voice to Parliament will not"close the gap" for indigenous communities. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Gary Ramage “Don't look down your nose at the Nationals, understand that we come from a different perspective because we actually live it now, and while you might want to put your head on the pillow and close your eyes and think you've done the right thing, we're left with the consequences.
Little Pride more like it
FFS gives a break Sky. 😪 Your full of it
The Nationals & David Littleproud failed rural & regional Australia & will continue to do so at every opportunity. I have no doubt he knows about failure because has experience at it.
In your 9 years of opportunity to improve the lives of FN, and close the gap. Please explain exactly what YOU did?
Nothing like a middle-age white male man'splaining what you need
This guy has admitted in this piece that “his Nat Party MP’s in regional and remote communities have seen indigenous policies fail time and time again” which amplifies the failure of his National Party over 9 years to develop any worthwhile indigenous policies
Rubbish.
It's just the UNs charter to hand back lands to indigenous populations.
The ‘voice’ is condescending at best VoteNo
Discrimination should fail, we want equal opportunity for all. Not a society based on race while the rest of us don't get the same opportunity. Albo is the worse sales person don't giving details of what hes selling. His secrecy will put most off
Dafid knows about failure that's all the notionals have ever known. It's only because of their alliance with their twins the LNP that they have ever been in government as a minor player. They might as well join the Teals because the LNP will never get all those seats back.
Nationals would know right
and the Nationals contribute anothing burger 😅 where do they get these stooges from. jesus xmas!
The worst of the Worst
Will cause more gap
9 years of nothing……continues
Give them want they want and what you don't want them too have A BLOODY TREATY
They fail themselves so no documents are going to save them
The Nationals support mining companies. They aren’t doing anything for farmers let alone First Nation people.
Say NO to Voice!!! This will divide Australians!!! Stop the socialists radicals now!!!
It’s like a textbook definition of disingenuousness. We all know their real motivation is cynical politics - creating a division and playing to racist white people. To pretend that they care about closing the gap is nauseating.
It will fail if enough people keep saying so. Please, give it a chance
well anyone can be a naysayer. especially this DH for no good reason
keep it going with the liberal rhetoric family values pushing bs . This smarmy club footed tunnel visioned home wrecker couldn't lie str8 in bed , .
Irrelevant useless and out of touch David Littleproud would be better silent on this issue ... egg on face coming big time.
Right, Littleproud knows more than Marcia Langton on Indigenous issues. Ok then. 🙄
He says this based on extensive experience of failing to close the gap.
Is he related to Alexandra Marshall?
That was FORTY YEARS AGO Could also have been we Australia was full of racists too 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️how did you ever get to a top job in your irrelevant party
Responding to what Murdoch told him to say
😂😂😂😂
Stop spending mining money from these regions on keeping Sydney & Melbourne relevant at the Ahole of the country & start building northern infrastructure & create jobs. If Sydney & Melbourne can’t do things on their own wealth they shouldn’t do them.
Who told David that lol 🤣😂🤣 did he get all the information from Boof ? lol 😂
Didn't hear Littletobeproud of say any of this during the last 9 years. Funny how he knows all about the voice and Duddon doesn't. voteyes
It's always been a lack of aboriginal leadership.
Of course it will, it has been a process long in the making, decades. Leave it to this muppet and others like him, nothing will happen. Conservatives have spent 200 + years trying to kill off the Australian Indigenous people. Now that stops. It is way past time.
So, in order to make this decision, Littleproud must have seen the detail that Dutton is unable to find. The Coalition is such a pathetic joke.
He is correct. Most Australians are pragmatic & not delusional virtue signallers . They like to see Government deliver outcomes. The Voice & ulurustatement are just a racist , anti democratic attack on all Australians built on fantasy; auspol
White privileged man says whattttt
The LNP can't make a profit out of 'the Voice' so why would they support it. Now if it was profitable then and they could make a quid or two, then they would support it.
So, why don't you ask Littleproud - on air - what LNP Govts from Abbott to Morrison actually did that improved the welfare of First Nations people? And have someone like Noel Pearson present to keep Littleproud honest. I'll wait.
Labor has a choice between 2 choices. one easy and the other hard. 1: making policies that will have a real impact and help struggling communities or 2: set up a 'voice' that will essentially be symbolic and have no real impact at all. He chose the easy one
The Nationals will only increase the gap
The liberals have failed us.
It’s not only that. It’s what the UN have decided.
So much left 😂
but it did not fail! it was the parliament that fail it! politics is a dirty business and strangely enough it does not need to be!
It is racist to have two laws
Littleproud is disconnected from reality because of the stance taken by the party! Head in the sand politics.
The Nationals that fail to give a voice to their constituents against big mining say the Voice for indigenous won't work... Because they suck so will this?
You at Murdoch Toilet Media are destroying any hope for FirstNation people…the sooner you evil fascists disappear the better.
“Who’s David Littleproud?”
Another white toast telling people how to run their lives
Because the previous voices stuffed it all up and now want to blame others for their negligence …. What’s needed even more is parents actually being accountable for the kids they raise
Kevins sorry got us nowhere either.
Nationals leader, oh wow, better pay attention to that
So? Yawn.
Grub
Harry (Littleman) Potter attempting to justify the National Party racist stance.
And ATSIC.
Setting aside the obviously inapplicable comparison, what if he’s wrong and we miss this unique opportunity to make a positive difference? The negative arguments are baseless
The Nationals have failed Australians in every level!!
No politician can know that giving Indigenous people a say in the decisions affecting them through the Voice won’t work to improve practical outcomes. They can’t know it because they haven’t tried it. They have tried just about everything else.
Oh come on... everyone loves a cherry on top of the cake, and they lust to get it, (virtue signalling) never mind its made of pure sugar that will give you diabetes.
So much for the promise not to campaign for the no vote D_LittleproudMP Your word is fraudulent auspol
That’s why it’s getting a no
Omg Littleproud has become so irrelevant - so very quickly.
The problem is the aboriginal people. They have to fix themselves first. No one else can do it for them. The indigenous voice to parliament the woke left will take over that.
I would say 90% of these first nation people have a LNP member as there local member and before that it would have been a Country party person. In all these years what have they done to improve the situation. For it to be where it is today I would say nothing just all talk.
'Mr Littleproud argued that a representative body with 20 odd Indigenous Australians can not represent the...hundreds of communities in regional and rural parts of Australia...' Then how can a Parliament of 151 represent the 25 million people of Australia?
The irrelevant Sky News touting the even less relevant Nationals.
Hasn’t he become irrelevant… isn’t that just sooooo fabulous !
ATSIC was nothing like the proposed Voice and its condescending and dismissive of ATSI people to suggest such an ignorant comparison.
So the Nationals want politicians go do their job to represent FN ppl, and they know the Voice won't help because of FN ppl in their electorates. Is this as an admission that the Nationals don't do their job? And they expect members from other seats to do it?
That is obvious but you need to get out there and tell people
The Right desperately want anything that may help indigenous Australians to fail.
I had family stolen under Labor.... My Dad and Uncle were 4 and 5 years old. They escaped and had good lives. They loved our country. They escaped an alcoholic Father and their Labor Government.
The gap between the haves and have nots is not exclusive to the colour of ones skin. It requires both sides to do some heavy lifting and setting political gains to the side.
VoteYes
The nationals are correct. auspol voteNo
How would he know?
How to support oppression in Israel while protesting oppression in Australia. Put an Arabic Palestinian flag next to the Aboriginal one!! And not one of them whitey's has a clue!! 🤔🤔🤔
Jacinta Price is our Voice
The voice is just a money pit for the grifters to feed from, it will not change anything, aboriginals need to stop claiming victim status and move on from 1788.
Can’t run his party can’t handle change.
