I thought a group dedicated to ensuring the matters affecting any group of peoples are represented in Parliament would be a good thing. And if this is not “good enough”, how will it have a worse outcome than voting no.

    You need to stop thinking about the voice to parliament in terms of ethnicity, it’s not a voice of an ethnic group, it’s a voice of the traditional owners of a land which was never ceded and who were in the land before we came and set up a parliament.

      Yes but the traditional owners of the land are just one ethnic group on the continent now. I don’t find historical claims to ownership compelling - the people who conquered and were conquered are gone now.
