The one thing we know about the left is that they never take ‘Hell, no’ for an answer. Every time their idiotic nostrums are rejected at the ballot box, these political toddlers simply throw a tantrum, then go right ahead and do it anyway.
Case in point: the ‘Aboriginal Voice’. This was resoundingly rejected at the ballot box. The repudiation of the referendum was so brutal that even the left-wing ABC called the result within two hours of polls closing. Not a single state recorded a successful ‘Yes’ vote. Yet, two states run by the far left have sailed on and forced through ‘Voice’ legislation, including the second-highest No-voting state, South Australia.
Now, South Australia’s socialist government has proved exactly why voters rejected the whole, ridiculous idea.
Calls are growing to repeal the indigenous voice to parliament in South Australia after two delegates were elected with just 15 primary votes, and six female delegates were elected without needing any votes at all to satisfy gender balance requirements.
It’s such an obvious scam that not even Aborigines can be bothered with it.
With a total pool of about 30,000 indigenous South Australians eligible to vote in the Voice elections, critics say that voter turnout was still low, with just over 10 per cent of indigenous people voting and some of the five regional voices receiving just a few hundred votes in total.
This is, remember, a body costing millions per year, which will ‘advise’ parliament on all new legislation. How is this unrepresentative swill (to borrow a famous phrase) even remotely ‘democratic’?
One Nation MLC-elect Cory Bernardi said the low turnout figures and paltry votes for some of the elected delegates was “proof that even indigenous people don’t support it”.
In the Far North Voice, candidates Alan Wilson and Dawn Brown were elected with just 15 votes each, and candidates Jonathan Lyons and Angela Watson were elected with just 23 votes. The total pool of votes cast in the Far North division was 229.
In the West Coast Voice, female candidates Lorraine Haseldine, Rebecca Miller and Evelyn Walker were all successfully elected with no votes recorded as under the Voice legislation each regional Voice must have three positions reserved for women.
The same happened in the Yorkes/Mid North Voice, with Joy Makepeace, Kellie Sansbury and Billie-Jade Braund elected to the reserved female positions without requiring any votes as they were the sole female candidates.
“These numbers are just embarrassing. It’s all nonsense,” Mr Bernardi told the Australian.
“You’ve got a race-based election where even the people who are meant to be voting for it don’t vote for it.
Just 64 candidates ran for the 46 seats, giving them a better-than-average chance of sailing into a cushy, taxpayer-funded job. The odds were even better in some districts. In the Far North district, just 229 people voted. Two delegates were elected with just 15 votes and another two with just 23. In three other districts, all six female candidates were appointed unopposed, thanks to the gender quotas imposed on each region.
South Australian Attorney-General Kyam Maher defended the ludicrous result, whining that, “We know that there are also a lot of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who don’t vote at the same rate as the broader population.”
There’s just one problem with this claim: the vote was held on the same day as the state election, where voting is compulsory. So they would have been at the polling station already – and still didn’t bother voting for these racist grifters.
And we also know that there are a lot of people voting who wouldn’t even pass muster as ‘Aboriginal’ to the man on the street. So, what do these pasty-white troughers do when they’re called out? Screech like banshees about ‘racism’, of course.
Provisionally-elected members of the SA Voice have told ABC News some Electoral Commission of South Australia (ECSA) officers “intrusively” questioned voters’ Aboriginal identities […]
“[Voters] identified themselves as Aboriginal and said to the [ECSA] staff that they were voting in this Voice election, and they kind of questioned that saying, ‘Are you sure? This is for Aboriginal people,’ Central region Voice candidate and provisionally-elected member Ashum Owen, told the ABC.
They called out the fakers and lily-white race grifters, didn’t they?
[Melissa Clarke, who has also been provisionally elected as a central region Voice member…] said she had heard from more than 60 voters, and some had raised concerns about feeling “judged racially” by electoral officers.
“Particularly for our community members that are fair-skinned,” she said.
So, they’re literally white – and have the gall to get all sniffy when someone points it out?
Putting on a bit of ‘Abonics’ doesn’t make it any more convincing.
“I’m hurt by the harm caused to mob by the inaccessibility for mob, the inability for ECSA to provide a safe place to do that,” Ms Clarke said.
“Democracy only works well when it works for everybody and yet this is another indication of democracy not working for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.”
She has the unmitigated cheek to blatherskite about ‘democracy’, while scamming tens of thousands from the taxpayer, in a racist, unrepresentative scam. She’s whining about ‘racism’, when she’s benefiting from a scam that only members (real or pretending) of a certain race have access to.
