Sky News host Amanda Stoker says well-known historian Professor Geoffrey Blainey has set the record straight on some of the “factual errors” that underpin the narrative in support of the ‘Yes’ campaign for the Voice.
“It’s … important that, as we go into a campaign for a referendum to insert an Indigenous ‘Voice’ into the constitution, that we get the facts straight,” Ms Stoker said.
“It would be wrong to abuse Australians’ genuine care for Aboriginal people by basing it on lies or half-truths. “Conferring a privilege on the basis of race in the present doesn’t remedy a past wrong; it merely perpetrates a new wrong in the present.”

‘It is going to impact everybody’: Rita Panahi on the federal Voice to ParliamentSky News host Rita Panahi says the Voice to Parliament on a federal level is going to “impact everybody” after looking at South Australia’s version being delayed by six months. “It’s going to impact everybody, it’s not going to be something where you can just say ‘well I don’t need to worry about that, I’m not a farmer, I don’t have huge tracks of land, I’m not a big business I don’t have to go through these processes’,” Ms Panahi said. “No, it is going to impact everybody, so get interested because this is our country we’re talking about. “If we have a federal Voice it’s going to turbocharge all of this because we know with the Uluru Statement of the Heart, it doesn’t stop with the Voice, we then have truth-telling, and treaty, and everything that comes with that.”
