The mostly-white ones step up to speak for the Abos.
See, this is one of the things which most annoys me. In no way whatsoever can Amy Thunig (or many of the university-educated "Aboriginals" I know who live in the cities, mostly on the East Coast) compare her lived experience to a full or half-blood Abo living in a remote community. They are completely incomparable. And in fact, a white person living out in Bourke, say, or even Alice Springs, likely has far more in common with said full-bloods...
And yet who are the ones who have all the political power, and push for divisive things like the Voice? Why, the entirely white-passing, usually upper middle class, urban "Aboriginals", of course! Because they stand to benefit the most. They're always the loudest, and the most (anti-white) racist. Pretty much always. And I bet, if you ask the majority of them, they won't even have been to somewhere like Maralinga or Roebourne, so their perspective on the actual issues out there is entirely warped.

Talk about out of touch, unfortunately...
