I love you bro, but you got this wrong. What Latham said is grossly stereotypical, it’s grossly offensive and it’s homophobic. He is an elected official, he should not be tweeting such guttural language in a public forum.
I'd rather have someone who's a straight shooter rather than someone who sugarcoats the truth.
Always brothers..But my man the words he uses are just not right.. They are really hateful and hurtful.. There was no need for it..I'd rather have someone who's a straight shooter rather than someone who sugarcoats the truth.
It's public knowledge that Latham does not support the alphabet warriors (as he has a right to). What he said was fairly blunt, no doubt, but it was also the truth.
PS - I know we have different views on this particular topic but you're still my brother
He is doing a voice, we can all hold hands and sing kumbaya while Albanese ‘unites us’

We all know the voice is not for the Aboriginal people.
Mr Chaney says the decision is a sell out. - ABC listen
Mr Chaney says the decision is a sell out.
Whats your thinkin' on this? As in Disposable Hero...hehe just realsed how that could be taken.
Well for starters there are already many aboriginal ministers and members not to mention many many Advisory groups and yet we have soooo many indigineous without a so called voice in parlaiment. But thats a side story i guess.

Thanks for explaining your views...havent had time to fully read as yet but it looks like a valuable debate on what this all means..and for not jumping to conclusions about me using "DH"Well for starters there are already many aboriginal ministers and members not to mention many many Advisory groups and yet we have soooo many indigineous without a so called voice in parlaiment.

Half the people living in communities in NT and WA north QLD have no idea or understanding about "the voice to parlaiment. How will it represent those people? I guess that is yet to be seen.
My understanding is the voice to parlaiment is the first step in a series of changes coming I forget the process but the voice to parlaiment is not a new scheme government have been working on this for some time.
I will have to find the articles relating to this.
We are going to give a voice to parlaiment to people in this country who are split among 100's maybe 1000's of tribes and communities with their own understandings and ideas. How?
Or
will it be the same as it always has been a select few with no knowledge outdide thier own bubble making the decisions for all the bubbles?
Some interesting reading below.
Support a Voice to Parliament
A Voice in the Constitution would recognise the special place of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Australia’s history, and would mean that it can’t be shut down by successive Governments.

Im not a huge fan of mainstream media. But some more reading.
Fact check: Were Indigenous Australians once classified under a flora and fauna act?
A regularly repeated claim is that Indigenous Australians were covered by a flora and fauna act, until the 1967 referendum. It's not true. RMIT ABC Fact Check explains.
I apologize if my post seems random and not in order I find it extremely dificult at times getting all the information out of my head onto the forums with typing on phone app.
..TK can be so aggressive at times and some posters take things the default agressive way and get things out of kilter. Cheers D Hero.
Its ok Wendog.Thanks for explaining your views...havent had time to fully read as yet but it looks like a valuable debate on what this all means..and for not jumping to conclusions about me using "DH"
Tony a Abbott was a man with principle and was down with the Lebs, I voted for him and think he was treated hardship.
That’s how I see it.
Thanks for posting that information DH. Presenting quite a few issues that will have to be dealt with. I have been to remote locations and also NT. Our son worked at Wadeye and that was an eye opener and I've seen the deterioration of Darwin, Katherine etc....havent been to Alice for several years. Its a very complex problem and a few home truths will need to be thoroughly explored before even a part solution to all the issues and problems can begin.Its ok Wendog.
While we don't communicate often. I have watched your behaviours over the last 10 years or so Ive been on TK. I know that you used DH in reference to my username.
I would love if you could visit Darwin / NT remote areas one day. See the reality that the MSM does not show.
While im at it watch the movie below if you havent yet. It gives great insite to community life and offers contrasts of view
Anything the government backs is not for the people....
Being a straight shooter and not sugarcoating the truth should not be used as an excuse to be offensive.I'd rather have someone who's a straight shooter rather than someone who sugarcoats the truth.
