  1. The indigenous peoples get a lot of gov money through the various corporations that are managed by indigenous peoples, i have worked in various places in aus every state,and can sya that most of the local aboriginal in these areas were family people who worked for a living , bringing their kids up with education and good family life , the disadvantage peoples (indigenous and white) who dont have thes advantages have allways been left behind ,pouring money ito it seems to not get the results require, so the voice somehow ,magically will change this ,indigenous people have for me allways been part of Aus nothing will change with this voice , they have representation at Federal and state levels of government, the voice will not change this, i recognize them as my fellow Australians , nothing more or less its a NO for me

  4. My father who served in WW11 in Burma,India,Singapore ,Java told me a story of captured Japanese soldiers that had committed crimes to local villages they were tied to a tree and had mortars fired at them, do we call that a war crime, yes but consider the locals who wanted instant justice ,he also told me that the Japanese were the most cruel of soldiers and as he said "we took no prisoners " during the war ,he was also a hangman at Sentosa war trials for an extra 2 shillings a day , different times but war does change people

  20. I have no problem that she has the right to her opinion, but the inference of her aborignal ancestery has no bearing ,the media beat up, and she has no grievance with the monarchy the Queen didnt do anything to her, and no i am not a monarchist ,she was a mother nanna and died ,lets give her respect
  21. she has about as much aboriginal in her as i do
  22. A few years ago I was the workshop manager that fabricated wind turbine towers (only the tower) they cost millions each and the company still lost money on each project, the company that we manufactured them for ,as part of the contract they had a resident engineer from o/s paid for and accomdation by us,also the documentation process was over the top, we had more staff on that side than in the workshop, at any one time I had 20 to 25 tradespeople in the shop, but 30 peeps in the office non producing , the costs were going up all the time , I feel that value for money in building these wind farms will over time get higher they do not have a long service history, and the wind does not blow all the time , great ideas for clean power(forgetting the HUGE enviromental costs to build them) nuclear is the only way forward
