Listed are a few of the many quotes from respected and informed people who are advocating a NO vote in the VOICE referendum due in the last quarter of this year.
It's not difficult to find more of what these people say by searching for them on the internet.
Jacinta Nampijinpa Price
"This Voice will not unite us, it will divide us by race."
Janet Albrechtsen
"This country should be removing provisions in the Constitution that divide Australians by race, not adding a new, more dangerous and divisive, one to our founding document. "
Tony Abbott
“My absolute desire is that we can go forward as one equal people and that’s why I’ll be voting no. Because I absolutely reject any suggestion that there is something fundamentally wrong with this great country, Australia.”
Robert Gottliebston
'We now know the Uluru statement wants the voice body to be designed so that it “could support and promote” a treaty-making process as “a pathway to recognition of sovereignty” and “the vehicle to achieve self-determination, autonomy and self-government”'.
And this quote from a very strong Yes advocate:
Noel Pearson
"Though it has historically hurt my people more than others, racial categorisations dehumanise us all. It dehumanises us because we are each individuals, and we should be judged as individuals. We should be rewarded on our merits and assisted in our needs. Race should not matter."
Blessings, Barry
