It’s likely 100s of jobs for life, with government pension added at retirement. Math that out over 25 years and it’s somewhere around $500 million dollars.
If my tax dollars are contributing to $500M in my lifetime, I want it going to people with degrees and a fuckton of experience.
The last time we let someone into politics with no experience and no degree, we got Pauline Hanson. I’m not voting yes to 100 more Pauline Hansons.
About a quarter of the MPs in parliament haven't got degrees. Plenty of their staff won't have either.
$500,000,000 over 25 years is less than a dollar per person per year. Let's not pretend that the number you've come up with there is some bank-breaking extravagance for a large economy over the course of decades.
So why do you believe non-white people couldn't possibly have "degrees and a fuckton of experience?"
Because the people put into these Voice positions will be Elders of Indigenous communities.
And since I personally worked on the 2013-16, $10M Indigenous communities research project for utilities connection and communication strategy, I know that 11% of the people in those communities are literate and the data point for tertiary-level education was so low it was rounded to 0.
To communicate the process of utilities connection, it was determined to best use pictures, which is still the strategy today.
Any more questions, hero?
Ah, so it's not that you're racist because you believe indigenous people are inherently less capable, but instead that you're racist because you see nothing wrong with perpetuating institutional racism. "Disadvantage must be maintained!" is your credo.
You got me.
Now don’t forget to downvote me (you can keep your upvote).
Good to know. I've tagged you as "Racist Aussie" so I don't forget in the future
Just FYI those of us on kbin can see if you actually upvoted someone or not.
”Those of us on KBIN are…” Haha, shut the fuck up.
You get an auto upvote when you post. I didn’t downvote him. Think before you speak, you Magic the Gathering-playing dickhead.
lol. Not sure where the M:TG comment is coming from, but I assume you scoured this guy's profile or something. The shit you're into is just as nerdy (given a cursory look at your own profile) so you can fuck right off with that criticism. Please, go find a racist echo chamber where you can be praised for your ignorant vitriol, you sad, sad troll
Ooh, look at you all brave and shit. You looking in the mirror while you write this?

The terminology we might use down under is wanker
