Their statements over the years probably did more than anything else to kill support for the Voice, and they called it misinformation. So what next?

This referendum has been a wake-up call for many Australians. They want answers about why the gaps haven't closed despite the tens of billions of dollars spent on this every year. For many years I've been calling for a comprehensive audit of the Aboriginal industry that has failed Indigenous people. This is absolutely essential so that Australians get the answers they deserve. Nothing will ever change unless we treat everyone on an individual needs basis and not on the basis of guilt or race. We are all Australians. Treat people equally on a needs basis.
