And what does it matter that Marcia Langton lives in “a comfortable unit”? She’s worked and fought her whole life for Aboriginal issues and not for the money. Where do you think Jacinta Price lives? Plenty of people in the Aboriginal people have come out saying she doesn’t speak for them.
Marcia Langton said anyone who supports the NO side is racist and stupid, Pearson has called Price all sorts of belittling names and saying she is punching down on blackfellas...really stupid stuff and not at all helping the YES side.

Jacinta Price is living right at the coal face of poverty and abuse at Alice Springs, and sees it all unfold daily. Langton and Pearson are far removed from the troubles by living in the cities. Pearson is in control of various Indigenous organizations in far North Queensland that has had in excess of $550 million paid to them over the years yet the people up there still live in squaller...where has the money gone? Certainly not to the people who need it.

I have had experience of living in and near places in FNQ where houses have been built for the local Indigenous people, paid for by the taxpayer to various Indigenous organizations, and these places have been ruined within months of completion by the people living in them...the cause of the problem is and always will be alcohol...the inhabitants start drinking, the fights start, then the places get smashed to pieces.

Dont be fooled by this government, it is all about Albanese and his ego...he wants to think he is Australias Nelson Mandela. the Labor governments are all about big ideas but has no idea of how to deliver practical solutions. A good start would be to ban alcohol all over the nation to everyone, but as a beer drinker who descended from hungry penniless impoverished Irish migrants in the 1860s, I know that will never happen.

FYI...some contacts of mine in FNQ tell me that the YES campaign are offering people $1000 to vote YES...I suppose they have to do something with the $200 million that the corporates are giving them. The NO side has nothing like this sort of money.
