A very good read about the voice to parliament, I believe it addresses some of the concerns raised in the megathread.

A reminder that we encourage discussions about the voice itself to take place in the megathread

Yeah I agree. Maybe a little confusing in parts for some people but the overall message of unity and national pride really cuts through well. I think that message has kind of been lost in all the noise up until now, but it has always been a major driving force behind Indigenous activism. Conservatives push that racist "angry black (wo)man" trope to create division, but the reality is that the goal is overwhelmingly about uniting modern Australia so we can feel proud about our shared history instead of ashamed.

I'm quite a cynical person but I'll admit it gave me goosebumps and I'm definitely feeling this vibe.
