Thank you, Hon Shadow Minister for Indigenous Australians.
After publicly opposing the Voice policy, I went into it
as a yes voter. This made me feel that I was an ‘Advisor’ in my
electorate of Coogee. The reason is the core purpose of the siders ‘Voice’.
As per my understanding, it is to offset uncompensated racial discrimination
pain. I therefore qualify as a victim due to the same reason as the group
referred to as ‘indigenous Australians’ who were unjustly punished by
‘outsiders’. This is the case with all victims of Racial Discrimination by
Australian government and its agencies. My painful experiences are in my book Naan
( I am) Australian. This book, travelled via Congress Library found
itself a home in the National Library of Australia. This is the way of the
Cross / Painful Truth. In Hinduism we call it the way of Karma.
When I merge my karma with institutions /people/places I
believe in, it adds to group karma. In this instance my highest official
position is as a resident of Coogee, whose indigenous community also were
evicted to
‘The Aboriginal population had largely
relocated by the mid-19th century after being decimated by disease and violent
clashes with early settlers, though some Aboriginal people still live
in the area today.’….Unfortunately, Coogee's rough surf damaged the
pier and it was demolished in 1934’
To the believer in Coogee, it would have been a
case of ‘Man proposes and god/nature disposes’
With this as my base, I went into my ‘advisory’ status in my
home block of ‘Coogee View’ whose owners are like family to me. If I
became their ‘Advisor’ at my level of depressed status, and its
structures, they would not be able to work as per their level of elevated
mind structure at the level they are familiar with. This is our common
negative heritage and all of us, including later migrants have a share in it,
to the extent we came through the European system. If we take only a part, we
would begin practicing separatism as some Canadian migrants are doing.
This was the ‘Advice’ my Coogee Elders’ shared with me. So I
rejected the ‘Yes’ Voice so majority in Coogee View will be comfortable
working their system.
Majority or Minority is about how natural we are with the
system. It is not about right or wrong. Rights and wrongs are as per the
law. Since majority in my Coogee community are conversant with the existing
system, I have decided to vote ‘No’ on intellectual basis, confirming that even
though I am part of minority by number, I love the whole, as an Elder
