Victorian ‘Truth-Telling’ is all about division
If you want proof of why you were right to vote ‘NO’ to the divisive Voice to Parliament, look no further than Victoria.
Despite the overwhelming result two years ago, the Victorian state government has continued to push ahead with even more racial division.
This week the Yoorrook Justice Committee delivered its final report to the Victorian Parliament.
This is the kind of Aboriginal “truth-telling” inquiry that the Voice to Parliament activists kept trying to hide.
You can probably predict the recommendations.
Land grabs? Yep.
Reparations? Of course!
Repeated affirmation of how evil modern Australia is? Goes without saying.
Handing over real governing power to the already existing Victorian Voice? What else would you expect?
The ABC report on the inquiry literally tells you in the headline that it’s about rewriting history.
The report plays all the greatest hits of the race activists:
“The inquiry has recommended the government use a treaty framework…that included redress…plus interest, and could also include initiatives like tax relief.
Among the other recommendations is a call for Victoria's First Peoples' Assembly to be made permanent and given decision-making powers.”
And don’t forget all the land that needs to be handed over:
“It could also include strengthening First Peoples' rights to land through treaty, which could mean tax exemptions for First Peoples on natural resources, or transfers of rights or entitlements on Crown lands.
It also called for more markers and memorials that feature Aboriginal perspectives at places like massacre sites, and more Aboriginal place names.”
Remember Albanese saying the Voice was just a polite request for a simple advisory body?
This is where it was always leading: entrenched racial resentment politics reaching into every part of government and society.
And let's be clear about it: this racial division is not just crazy, it’s dangerous.
It’s bad for social cohesion. It’s wrong on the merits. It does nothing to address poverty and disadvantage.
No one denies injustices happened in the past.
But this slow dismantling of our nation through racial grievance has to stop.
