It’s likely 100s of jobs for life, with government pension added at retirement. Math that out over 25 years and it’s somewhere around $500 million dollars.
If my tax dollars are contributing to $500M in my lifetime, I want it going to people with degrees and a fuckton of experience.
The last time we let someone into politics with no experience and no degree, we got Pauline Hanson. I’m not voting yes to 100 more Pauline Hansons.
About a quarter of the MPs in parliament haven’t got degrees. Plenty of their staff won’t have either.
$500,000,000 over 25 years is less than a dollar per person per year. Let’s not pretend that the number you’ve come up with there is some bank-breaking extravagance for a large economy over the course of decades.
Because the people put into these Voice positions will be Elders of Indigenous communities.
And since I personally worked on the 2013-16, $10M Indigenous communities research project for utilities connection and communication strategy, I know that 11% of the people in those communities are literate and the data point for tertiary-level education was so low it was rounded to 0.
To communicate the process of utilities connection, it was determined to best use pictures, which is still the strategy today.
Ah, so it’s not that you’re racist because you believe indigenous people are inherently less capable, but instead that you’re racist because you see nothing wrong with perpetuating institutional racism. “Disadvantage must be maintained!” is your credo.

You dig up 200 billion dollars of minerals out of their back yard EACH YEAR and you don’t feel like kicking back literally a couple of quid ?
Nice
So why do you believe non-white people couldn’t possibly have “degrees and a fuckton of experience?”

Any more questions, hero?
