Honestly everyone should read the statement if they have the chance. It's really not as controversial as the racist no campaign makes it out to be. It's actually quite basic in what it's saying and asking for. And it does feel like it's a statement from the heart.
Among the imagined 25 pages is "compensation including a % of GDP etc".
I'm normally all for freedom of the press, but when miss-information is that bad, I'd be perfectly fine with sending journalists to jail.
We can start with the $200,000+ a year senators propagating these lies. This referendum process has really highlighted how devoid of ethics the right wing of Australian politics is.
Even if the Uluru Statement was 200 pages long and called for white slavery, it would still be misleading for Sky News to imply it has any relevance to what is actually being voted on in the Voice referendum. The wording of the proposed constitutional amendment is only about 4 paragraphs long, and has already been set by Parliament.
A place to discuss Australia and important Australian issues.
