How about we hand the decision making about Aboriginal communities to Aboriginal people by firstly recognising them in the constitution and then empowering Aboriginal people to make decisions regarding Aboriginal communities and provide that advice to the government.....Oh wait

No, he was referring to ATSIC.

I forget, how did that go

ATSIC, probably failed, many other innitiatives also have failed, doesn't mean you stop trying and throw up your hands and say bad luck!

The Voice was another attempt to make good. For morons to celebrate it's failure just reflects poorly on our nation.

These sort of comments from team NO are dismissive and pathetic and add nothing to finding help for our indigenous brothers and sisters.

Using local (not federal) indigenous representative bodies, is an excellent idea.

But like any idea, format it, test it and then roll it out. Don't just lock it into the constitution forever and hope it works.
