Yeah, Nah.
To preface, I was going to put this in the political thread, but then thought some people might actively avoid that part of the forum, so the title may catch people's attention if they wish to engage.
I'm just wondering what people's thoughts are on the upcoming Voice to Parliament Referendum later this year? Instantly, I thought it'd be a no brainer and I'd be voting yes, but the more it goes on, now I'm unsure if this is what indigenous people want?
Do we have any Indigenous Australia's here who can share their thoughts & opinions? Is this something we should be voting in favour of?
Ultimately, I'm a white, early 30s guy who hasn't had any first hand experience in what marginalized communities are subjected to, so my vote will be guided by what the people this impacts want us to do. Unlike the Same Sex Marriage vote (which was a clear no brainer) this one is a bit more confusing and my concern is a No vote will push any form of reconciliation back by decades.
Where does everyone else sit with this one?
