KPMG, NAB, Suncorp etc... If you're Indigenous and you are well educated and bright enough to be employed at one of the Top 4 Accounting firms or Big 4 Banks, then what is the grievance?
Aaahh! Come on everybody. Mourning over a referendum that was doomed to failure the moment HRH King Albo planted the seed on his inauguration to the throne. Now businesses have to bow down in obeyance, put on sackcloth and waft some exorcizing spirit smoke at a poor-fellah-my-loss ceremony and hand out sick-leave passes to indigenous employees. One can only imagine what reparations corporate bosses would have handed out if the voice had won. The mind boggles!
Serves them right for siding with the Yes23 debacle! And yes, it WAS a DIVISIVE referendum.
Oh gee... i was so stunned that result was SO emphatically conclusive that I might need to take a week off to recover from the shock of it... But I am self employed. In a small business - who will pay for my time off? And who will then pay for the salaries of the staff that only I can earn so that they can feed their families...
Oh to be a corporate that skims money off of the the hard work of others. Then I too could claim to be a righteous victim.
What a growth industry is Counseling? I think it’s time we start Counseling the poor counselor’s, imagine the stress that comes with the job. Seems like every second person is a little snowflake these days.What happened to the Aussie spirit of past generations?
It would have been a lot cheaper and more critical for a vote to count aboriginal support from all of them and not just the 300 activists they asked to see if they should even have a full referendum.
They would have found that the non activists were more than 80% against the voice.
If they were sincere they would be demanding the government back Jacinta Nampijimpa Price in getting an enquiry up and running on child abuse in indigenous communities. They haven't so guess they don't really care. 🙄
We cannot ignore the fact that the many health bodies, land acquisitions, advisory bodies and thousands of Aboriginal Corporations and Agencies, plus billions of tax dollars spent over the last several decades have so little to show in terms of "closing the gap". Indigenous bodies and peoples have had plenty of time now to prove they can better manage themselves. Something is not working, and it's got nothing to do with not having enough money, indigenous involvement or opportunity for "voice". Without ACCOUNTABILITY there is no way forward. Goodwill alone will change nothing. Accountability will be the basis for knowing how to ACT differently moving forward. Is the poor handling of indigenous money a result of cultural pressures, geographical limitations, poor understanding of government, tribal allegiances, manipulation by elites, outside interference, family and community breakdown due to rampant alcoholism and community violence? A multi-pronged approach of empathetic understanding empowered by accountability will keep us focused as we act for our country and our peoples' future.
I get to the point where I can say no more. My husband and I have worked with aboriginal people in the north of Queensland as well as the centre of Australia. They are so far removed from ach other as to be a comppletely different race! Who would give these people counselling? Some whities? I want to chan ge my insurances and leave Suncorp!! Someone like Jacinta, who knows the problems of the centre is ideal to help them, but she would see the huge difference from those to the ones living on Cape York. What a hornets nest the Labor party has stirred up. Hopefully, it will calm down or we will never be a cohesive country again!!!

How patronising are Suncorp!!!! These companies are creating division.....endlessly!!
If they are not local to you then just check out all the ones that are local and see who owns them before joining.
I'm not entitled to any cultural free bee. I'm uncultured.
These people are idiots!! There is no other word. I think my accounts with NAB will be closed when I get home.
They don’t care about the issues just the optics.

Are they going to offer counseling for Jewish staff who lost loved ones to terrorists ?

All the corporations, banks, sporting teams who are indulging in this rubbish should pay heed to wise words from Donald Trump - "Go woke, go broke!"
NB-Did I forget to mention that Senator Price would be the perfect pick to head up such a move? (see below)

Brick up Aladin's cave I say. All that treasure has always gone into the djinny's bottle anyway.

If the Banksters want to help Indigenous People they might open some Branches where they live so they can provide a Service
Unfortunately that word doesn’t appear in their dictionary
