00:00 working hard for it so it's good to be rewarded in the way that I deserve.
00:03 And you're going to be able to do so much with that as well.
00:05 Yeah, that's what I hope.
00:07 But yeah.
00:09 Anyway, so um, how are you going?
00:12 With the whole voice referendum thing.
00:15 Yeah, because it's so hard.
00:16 It's really hard.
00:17 It's hard for you.
00:17 And also for us in ways.
00:19 Yeah, because it's complicated. It's just a big complicated mess.
00:23 Yeah, it is hard.
00:25 But it's confusing mostly. It's just so hard. It's like, what?
00:28 What? What?
00:30 Totally, exactly.
00:31 It is hard.
00:32 It is, it is hard.
00:33 What?
00:34 Yes, that's how I feel.
00:36 You can always just vote no.
00:38 Wait, really? Actually?
00:43 Because it is so confusing out there.
00:45 I read online that Indigenous people, they don't even want it.
00:48 80% of us do.
00:49 Okay, but I saw a video of an Indigenous person saying that it doesn't go far enough.
00:53 And I'd personally like it to go far enough.
00:55 Me too, I'd like to go far enough for Indigenous people for them.
00:58 Okay, so you would vote no to this progress,
01:02 so that we can reconvene at an undisclosed point in the future,
01:07 and then go far enough.
01:10 Yes, that makes sense to me.
01:11 I find like some sense.
01:14 So what about the voice doesn't make sense?
01:16 Like, just, you know, what would be far enough?
01:19 What are your thoughts?
01:23 I've heard that it could divide the nation.
01:26 How?
01:28 Okay, so I have read something online about just the nature of democracy in general.
01:34 Yes, because it's patronising to Indigenous people.
01:37 And I would hate to patronise an Indigenous person.
01:41 Okay, so it doesn't go far enough, but then it also goes too far.
01:46 Yes.
01:47 Because democracy.
01:48 No.
01:50 Have you Googled it?
01:52 The voice, the proposal, the referendum, have you Googled it?
01:56 You know what, I have not had heaps of time.
01:59 I just...
02:01 Busy.
02:02 Yeah.
02:03 Pretty much.
02:04 Life.
02:05 [Laughter]
02:08 Yeah.
02:09 Have you got your phone?
02:10 Yeah.
02:11 Can I see that? I'll help you out.
02:12 Oh.
02:13 Let's see what you do have time for.
02:14 When was the last thing you searched?
02:16 Oh, well, just probably just...
02:18 Oh, did Aaron leave Love Island 13 because he had gonorrhoea?
02:25 Did he? Yes.
02:26 The big questions.
02:28 What is the voice referendum?
02:33 Hmm.
02:34 Oh, you've just...
02:35 Okay.
02:36 The voice referendum means we are voting to have a body called
02:40 the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice who may make representations
02:45 to the Parliament and the Executive Government of the Commonwealth
02:48 on matters relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
02:52 The voice will give independent advice to the Parliament and the Government
02:56 and will be chosen by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
02:59 based on the wishes of local communities.
03:01 That advice then goes to Parliament,
03:03 who continues to hold the ultimate power for legislative change.
03:06 Okay, well, that is quite clear.
03:07 That was clear.
03:08 I mean, I probably wrote yes to that.
03:09 I just wrote yes to that.
03:10 How did you find that?
03:11 You just got all of this from Google.
03:13 Google.
03:14 And then you went on the first result there.
03:16 That's the first result.
03:17 Okay, well, you need to tell people about that, the Googling thing,
03:19 so they can...
03:20 They should know about that.
03:21 Wow.
