As I find myself reawakening from the past few years and looking around at the lay of the land with fresh eyes, I see certain merits of the yes and no arguments for the voice.
I see many mob, on both sides, who I respect still fighting hard to have their views heard and to win popular support for their arguments. I also see the increased confidence among non-Indigenous people, especially those who would label themselves “allies”, becoming bolder and bolder about chastising mob who aren’t on their side.
