‘Biggest con’: Linda Burney’s ‘disastrous’ speech that could sink the Voice

Sky News host Andrew Bolt says Indigenous Australians Minister Linda Burney gave “the most disastrous speech” at the National Press Club in an attempt to try to sell the Voice.

He said there is no excuse for a speech so “sloppy, and irrational and deceitful” after Ms Burney tried to “guilt trip” Australians to back the Voice.

“It was so bad, I wonder if it’s going to kill the Voice for good,” Mr Bolt said.

“But Burney’s biggest con today came when she tried to tackle a great fear about this Voice that it could go nuts,” Mr Bolt said.

“Australia risks making a shocking mistake that will change this country forever.”

Im not paying a cent of reparations because ive never done anything wrong to aboriginal people, i wasnt born then. I was born in this country, its mine as much as theirs. Vote NO Australia, for the sake of your family and country.

[clarehennessey]

They already get $30 billion, what the hell are they doing with the money? I'm voting NO!

[jmcham]

Linda just needs to use the current $39 Billion per annum Aboriginal budget to fix the problems

[elsiecooper]

I am indigenous, as an elder I live in Victoria, and live on mine own I don't get any help at all from anyone, I am sick of hearing about the voice, Linda Burney is to busy worried about the voice, instead of getting our money back from the crooks, who stole money from the Aboriginal Community Benefit Fund that went into liquidation last year, I haven't heard what is happening with that, are those crooks in jail who knows I sure would like to know, Linda Burney wants to wake up, the voice will do nothing for me, we already have senators in parliament that's good enough for me, Vote no

[drchristinecarr]

The Australian aboriginals have already been compensated tenfold over for any past harm done, by all Australians sharing Australia’s prosperity with them. We are one, we are many! We are Australian. Anyone who was born in Australia should identify as indigenous! 🇦🇺

[MichaelKingsfordGray]

I am of Aboriginal descent, and I will be voting a clear NO!
It is nothing more than "sit down money" on steroids.

[WantnSup]

Don’t force your grandchildren to pay someone else’s grandchildren for something they never did. Vote No.

[mudbutton]

Never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake. 🙂

[darylb]

I didn’t realize Australia had so much in common with the U S. How the hell does an educated country come up with that for a leader…

[akilaliyanage]

We all are Australian and we all should be under same law. No any ethnic group should have a special law.

[jimmycook]

Someone should remind Linda Burney that misleading the public is a very serious crime.

[denisewilliams]

Her people 70% are educated and live in suburban areas, 20% choose to live in regional areas, all have special privileges, at least 70% are in mixed. marriages. Every person in Australia has the same right I vote for One Australia, One vote that is No to the voice.

[MRxr]

i grew up being taught it is all up to you with what you do with your life. take responsibility for your own actions. already, there is way more government assistance for indigenous people, it's time they stood on their own two feet.

[rfelghd]

I have stopped listening to there cause I have already decided to vote NO.

[Revelationv]

There have been 53 Aboriginal Politicians since 1971 so as far as I'm concerned Aboriginals already have a "voice" in Parliament

[Mrbullet]

Labor has no ideas and neither does Burney. Don't get fooled by this rubbish. Vote NO.

[seadog]

Vote no, Labor refuse to answer any hard questions. If the voice gets in, they will want to change Aussie day, the country name, all city names etc etc "as it affects aboriginal people". This is racist !

[shanenichols]

She’s looking for fresh ideas! She’s in charge of a department with loads of staff, consultants and decades of experience. Don’t ask a room of journalists etc, they have their own jobs to do. The more she talks like this wonder what the government and agencies have been doing for so long.

[philipho]

I hope she speaks more! That way we have a bigger chance of having more No votes 😊

[Gumbatron]

Don't stop her. She's a fantastic asset for the "No" campaign.
