They went to Lombadina and lied about it. They used an aboriginal elder to try and convince them, but they too, received no real answers. The Australian Government has not the best reputation for helping aboriginal people. The money is there, but it does not go to the community infrastructure, health or education.

The ‘voice’ is to invalidate the Australia Constitution.

And then the UN steps in and takes all land titles! WA is about to mine for lithium.. the area is massive and unnecessary. It will infringe on the community's there.

The indigenous tribes are the custodians of this land under British law and this is true until they sign a treaty/contract with the British or they loose it in battle to them. Since they have never lost it in battle to them the only way the British can take Australia is by treaty/contract and the voice I suspect is a sneaky way for them to get a treaty/contract and take Australia. Once the indigenous custodians are included in the constitution the British have their treaty/contract and all the land? The only reason they didn't get a treaty here is because they couldn't find the chief, not an hierarchical society, as they managed to do in other countries like New Zealand. Australia may be the only country the British were unable take from the indigenous tribes in battle or by treaty?

Thank you Michael, great to hear from Bruce and Bruce, uncomplicated wisdom. Loved the government/corporation term Bruce used, so true.
