OPINION: Only a Treaty will end the war against First Nations people

When the British invaded these lands, we never sat down to negotiate what peaceful coexistence looks like.

Senator Thorpe says The Greens will continue to "keep pushing Labor to go further and faster for Blak justice."Labor’s proposal for a constitutional amendment that was released at the Garma Festival last year is as follows:The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice may make representations to Parliament and the Executive Government on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.

Truth and Treaty are tools to deliver real power to First Nations people in this country. Decision-making power around our own affairs.Truth and Treaty will acknowledge our Sovereignty and strengthen our Voice. We want First Nations people to be acknowledged as the Sovereign people of these lands and we never will cede that Sovereignty.

Given Labor’s push for a constitutionally enshrined advisory body, we tested how committed they are to act on the advice First Nations people give them by demanding the implementation of the remaining recommendations from the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody and the Bringing them Home report.

NITV Has anyone tried to tell her that she's obviously mostly European?

NITV Treaty, voice, reparations payments and thru to 1%of all tax payer earnings . It will never end . They will never be happy

NITV End the war? What war? This woman is poisonous and should be locked up for treason. She should not have a voice in the mainstream media.

NITV What's in it for the Bikies?

NITV The Voice is only the start. Vote Yes!

NITV Vote Pauline Hanson

NITV Racist calls by mainly white aborigines to make more money for themselves. The division and long term backlash against this by Australian of all races will be strong and long. History tells us watch out for the backlash, it eventually comes.

NITV What war. It’s only in your mind.

NITV Translation - Lidia wants your money.

NITV I love how her opinion carries so much weight

NITV Trouble is white man conquered on the blessing of the cross. To say sorry etc is saying the church was wrong

NITV This lady is a joke an her position in political is untenable, sleeps with the enemy whistle trying too make laws to govern them “SHE IS UNTRUSTWORTHY”

NITV I feel that the right will use the “Treaty Vote” to kill of the “Voice Vote” hurting First Nations efforts for years to come.

NITV Ms Thorpe, there's no such thing as 'Blak justice', there's only justice. I suspect you wouldn't recognise or acknowledge it.

NITV Lidiot will get booted out next election and with a bit of education to the uneducated that voted Labor we can have a government that will correct the stuff ups from albosleazies lot

NITV “Writes a staffer.”

NITV Given that there are many indigenous voices, across the political spectrum, who dont agree now, who will be able to say they represent the majority? With a voice, it sets the framework for a truly representing body that has the moral authority to be this representative.

NITV

NITV When people start burning, spitting,defacing national flags, this only works against their cause & what they want to achieve, it doesn’t help anyone it only continuely divides us from moving forward towards a united country.Just saying.

NITV Greens once again sacrificing good in pursuit of perfect! If we don’t adopt The Voice, there will never be treaty!

NITV War! Now that’s make believe.

NITV Could she clarify what war she's on about?

NITV There isn’t a single person living in Australia who is worse off due to colonisation of Australia. Everyone has a better life for it.

NITV How did this woman get into parliament?

NITV

NITV There is no war and you do not 'own' country. Country owns you.

NITV She harbors hatred, and is corrosive to Australian culture.

NITV Treated as equals in all facets or life....no more special treatment because of one's race, colour religion etc, that's when will will become one!

NITV I think if it was actually a war it would have ended swiftly over 200 years ago.

NITV Your total and unconditional surrender is the starting point.

NITV Now it’s war against First Nation people. Really yesterday it was Lydia Thorpe declared war on Australia. SBS should be privatised now.

What Albanese’s visit to the Alice means for the VoiceThe violent crimes devastating the town are a shocking counterpoint to a Voice to parliament. The PM wants to persuade people a Yes vote will help close the gap for Indigenous Australia. The Indigenous Voice to parliament is dividing us. There are Indigenous and non Indigenous Australians that experience a lot of the same disadvantage. We all have choices, and we all suffer consequences from wrong choices, whether we were here 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Think about it! All Australian’s should be treated equally under law.

Dutton has ‘landed a few blows’ on issue of Voice to ParliamentOpposition Leader Peter Dutton has “landed a few blows” in the last few days on the issue of the Indigenous Voice to Parliament, Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says. Polling says otherwise. His history of racial dogwhistling during elections is well noted. Ole PeterDutton_MP although he has good intentions within his beliefs I assume, & with all respects has no qualities nor the face to be a leader of the opposition. Background & his voice itself is not appealing. People like sincerity not direct opinionated diatribe.
