Andrew Bolt: Time to wake up to the Voice creating a divided dystopia

Anthony Albanese is pushing us towards apartheid and his government has proved it by appointing Australia’s first Ambassador for Indigenous Australians.

Justin Mohamed is living proof that, no, Anthony Albanese doesn’t just want a “modest” change – a kind of Aboriginal-only parliament he calls the Voice.

No, the Prime Minister is pushing us towards apartheid, and on Tuesday his government proved it by appointing Mohamed as Australia’s first Ambassador for Indigenous Australians.

Stunning: an ambassador now for just one race?

Indeed, one of Mohamed’s official jobs will be to “help grow First Nations trade and investment”, and not the trade or investment of any of the non-Aboriginal Australians also paying his salary.

So if Labor gets its way, by next year Australia will have an Aboriginal parliament, with an Aboriginal ambassador already in place, plus the Aboriginal flag flying next to the Australian one, all confirming we really are now two nations, not one.

And to seal that apartheid deal, Albanese has repeatedly promised a treaty, too, to work out some way for these two nations to co-exist.

As Professor Rufus Black, Vice Chancellor of the University of Tasmania, says, like it’s a good thing: “As a nation, we would become not just a Federation of States, but a Federation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as well.”

It staggers me that boosters of the Voice — like the big corporates foolishly trying to show they’re kind — are pretending this is all perfectly safe, civilised and “progressive”. And pretending we’re not actually sliding into a racist and barbaric dystopia.

How much more clearly does Linda Burney, our Indigenous Australians Minister, have to spell out Labor’s ultimate goal, when she’s already made it crystal clear on ABC television?

We were filmed, Linda and I, going to one of the “sovereign” Aboriginal nations of the kind that Lidia Thorpe, the race-baiting ex-Greens senator, is calling for — the Yidinji nation that’s been declared around Cairns.

I’d driven Burney there to test her. I thought she’d be horrified to see we even needed passes to meet the “prime minister” and “foreign minister” of this Aboriginal “nation”. Instead, she smiled and said, “I approve.”

I kid you not. It’s on tape.

Don’t be surprised if this is our future. What do you expect if we insist Aborigines - even fakes like Bruce Pascoe — are so different as a race that our federal Parliament is not good enough for them? That they must have their own parliament and ambassador?

Why are we tearing ourselves apart like this? Please, wake up.
