This is NOT a comedy skit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Labor senator Fatima Payman launches new political party called Australia\u2019s Voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

How is this even possible or legal? Is she an Australian citizen, with only one passport and allegiance to our country only?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It is more likely to be the most un-Australian of Voices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

She has some nerve co-opting that name. She doesn\u2019t represent Australia at all.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The name choice has also upset the organisers of the failed YES campaign for an indigenous Voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Double dissolution is the only fair way. Australians need to choose how their country is run, Payman has piggy backed her lot in on false pretences.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

But it’s effect may be to further panic some in Labor in its tilt towards policies which try to appease Islamists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fatima Payman\u2019s choice to name her party \u2018Australia\u2019s Voice\u2019 seems tone-deaf after Australians voted \u2018No\u2019 to an Indigenous Voice. Many back Aboriginal rights but rejected the \u2018Voice.\u2019 Using this term for political gain feels culturally insensitive and presumptive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
