Indigenous voice to Parliament
After seeing the basic plan for Australia's proposed "indigenous voice
to Parliament", I think it is ok.
The reticence about stating any specifics made me wonder what it was
they did not want to talk about. I was concerned, specifically, that
the plan might incorporate racial distinctions into Australians'
political rights. Australia did just that for most of the 20th
century, to the detriment of the indigenous people, but two such
wrongs would not make a right.
I'm relieved that there is none of that in the proposal. So I'm in
favor of it. Indigenous Australians suffer from racism and its
effects, and this may help them encourage measures to improve the
situation.
