Indigenous Australians don't have a 'voice'? Not according to Indigenous Expenditure Report!

MANY Australians are led to believe that the Indigenous population does not have a so called ‘voice’ where a change to the Constitution is required.

This is a deliberate misrepresentation of facts, or more simply put one huge lie perpetuated by the government and the mainstream media.

Indigenous Australians do factually have a ‘voice’ where this action has been documented in an annual report called the Indigenous Expenditure Report.

The ‘voice’ of Indigenous Australians is represented in:

• 3,278 Aboriginal Corporations, obviously muzzled by the Crown under Corporation law,
• 243 Native Title bodies,
• 48 Land Councils,35 Regional Councils,
• Over 122 Aboriginal agencies,
• 3 Advisory bodies,
• 145 Health Organisations,
• 11 Federal MPs of Indigenous background,
• 12 Culturally important Indigenous days.

What is the cost of all this?

• $33b for  approx. 984,000 Indigenous persons, or 3.8% of Australia's total population,
• Expenditure: $43,449, per person in FY 2012-13 on Indigenous Australians,
• Expenditure: $20,900 on other Australians, or ~ 2.08 x more, and increase from 1.95x from 2009,
• $100m per day for direct support every year, or $39.5b p.a.

These figures are base on the above mentioned report produced by the Productivity Commission.
