    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.
