Age readers react to the conduct of Anthony Albanese in selling the Voice.
at the National Press Club , Professor Marcia Langton cited the long history of the disconnect between solutions recommended by Indigenous bodies and the cack-handed ones eventually implemented by governments and their bureaucrats. On the face of it, the adoption of the Voice would not solve this – constitutionally established, it would simply be a mechanism without the surety of any specific outcomes.
Its persistence would also guarantee sustained pressure against governmental and bureaucratic inertia.Given the AFL track record with Adam Goodes being booed out of the game, why should we expect any meaningful leadership on the Voice being part of the grand final? It’s now up to the players to show it and play with armbands supporting the Voice throughout the finals season — please.
The government was warned more than five months ago by an independent review of the bank to put monetary policy into the hands of more competent people. It still hasn’t done so, preferring to wait until July next year. That’s the plain truth of the matter.I agree with Kingston Mayor Hadi Saab that we shouldn’t be losing our green open spaces for housing, but we also shouldn’t be losing our green open spaces for Suburban Rail Loop industrial-scale stabling yard infrastructure .
Our green open spaces shouldn’t be sacrificed for developments when alternatives exist that don’t sacrifice our liveability and environment.Campaigners who fought long and hard for the protection of Victoria’s native forests and ecosystems will welcome the state government’s commitment to support timber workers to find new jobs .

‘Leadership failure’: University students feel ‘ostracised’ for opposing VoiceShadow Indigenous Affairs Minister Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has slammed Charles Darwin University for taking a position on the Voice to Parliament debate and making students feel “ostracised” for opposing the proposal. The university has counselled Associate Professor Bea Staley over an announcement she sent to speech pathology students telling them they “might want to reflect deeply on whether a career in allied health in Australia is really for you” if they did not support the Voice. “My office has been contacted by students of Charles Darwin University, prior to obviously this email, who have been concerned that they no longer feel welcome at their own school,” she told Sky News host Sharri Markson. “They no longer feel that they have the freedom to discuss certainly this issue, that they are being ostracised because the university took the position to support the Voice. “This is a leadership failure, and I would call on the (Vice) Chancellor Scott Bowman to correct this to ensure that this sort of pressure isn’t applied to students by their lecturers.”
