To be honest, Im sick of recognizing Aboriginal people. this country is going to end up being run by Aboriginals soon and the white man will be a second class citizen. Hell we can't even claim racism when an Aboriginal calls us whiteys or crackers or honky or any racial slur.

They should recognise all religions and cultures but provide no benefit for any as we are all Australian.

 @4WPM5BSLaborfrom New South Wales answered…3yrs3Y

It's important, but a referendum is incredibly expensive to hold. It would be more efficient to actually do something that would provide resources that would actually help someone, and serve more of a purpose than just sit there as a token gesture.

 @KiceannaGreenfrom Victoria answered…3yrs3Y

No, Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders are Australian, thus I would argue they are recognized and represented, even if not by name. The constitution doesn't need to change.

 @9727M25answered…1yr1Y

No. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are Australian and therefore they are already recognised. By creating a specific reference, category or any other separation/segregation from being 'Australian' is a form of apartheid.

 @935JWQDLiberalanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes but not specifically. I want a constitution that recognises human beings, not race or ethnicity.

 @9KVQR7Qanswered…1mo1MO

Yes, but in a manner that recognises first nations people without incorporating race-based rights into our constitution.

 @9KFCNSBLaboranswered…2mos2MO

Aboriginal and Torres trait Island peoples should be equal in the community. They should practice their culture and be respected but more diversity between in the community isn't needed.

 @9KC7CVXLiberalanswered…2mos2MO

there are many things to consider however, it should not matter the race of who is in the constitution but rather the qualifications.

 @9JR2TMZLaboranswered…2mos2MO

IF that is most necessary. Even though the land originally is owned by them. WE as Australians have considered this country to be an open diversity all culture so it is only fair everyone is put or no one is put in the constitution.

 @9JQVZZ2Greenanswered…2mos2MO

The constitution should recognize the harm done to these communities, but not place an overly large emphasis on said communities as to no ostracize them from the other denizens of the country.

 @9HWQ8DLLaboranswered…3mos3MO

Recognised of sites that are holy to them etc. not give them influential voices that could damage national progress due to race.

 @9GL9J27 answered…6mos6MO

the aboriginals should be recognised but not given special treatment as it was their ancestors not them

 @God's-girl answered…6mos6MO

Depending on what for if it is just letting them into government then no not at all but if it is to prob people to learn Australia's history from them ten yes

 @9GD5S5Lanswered…6mos6MO

I believe recognition is important via opportunities and funding. the constitution will does not effect recognition for any individual. its on the basis of a whole nation.

 @9G9KR95answered…6mos6MO

yes but recognise them as Australian's, don't divide Aboriginals and Torres strait islander people from white Australians, make us all equal.

 @9G7SDT5Liberalanswered…6mos6MO

how are they represented in it? i believe that it shouldnt give them advantages over everyone else. everyone should be treated the same.

I am still yet to understand how the Voice Benefits indigineous people - It seems to me that its just adding another bloated bureacracy and will do nothing to help those people that need help - it seems very City Centric and ignores those in the bush

 @9D7SSHManswered…8mos8MO

 @9CN3YKDLiberalanswered…9mos9MO

Just with a preamble at the beginning of the constitution, not with a institution

 @92ZJY77Greenanswered…2yrs2Y

Two part answer. Aboriginal and Torres Straight islanders should have all the same rights and obligations as all Australians. Hence, we should be under the one banner as all Australians..

 @92YPBN9answered…2yrs2Y

Aboriginal and Torres Strait islanders should be treated as fully fledged Austrslians and offerded all the same rights and freedoms. As Australians there should be no need for forms to contain Heritage questions such as 'are you Aboriginal or Torres Straight Islander, nor should there be a need to indicate this.

 @92XCTB4answered…2yrs2Y

Yes but we shouldn’t have to pay for them to live as it was not our fault for what happened in the past

 @92X3J85answered…2yrs2Y

I think all Australian citizens should be recognised the same regardless of their heritage, after all, we are all Australians aren't we?

 @92WGVZHanswered…2yrs2Y

To a degree, yes they are the First Nations people, and they are recognised as a big part of Australian culture but what more must the people of today do to please everyone?

 @92SZ4QPanswered…2yrs2Y

The constitution should not have anything specially about race in it
