South Australian Indigenous people now have a Voice to Parliament.

Who cares that 64 per cent of Crow Eaters voted against a Voice at the federal referendum last October.

The Labor State Government has pushed ahead with it anyway because, well, how are people to appreciate democracy unless it’s violated occasionally.

Anyway, judging by the low number of Aboriginals who bothered to cast a vote for the 46 representatives, local Indigenous people care even less for the Voice than the general populace.

Just 2748 of the state’s 27,534 eligible voters participated in the non-compulsory election on March 16.

In other words, less than 10 per cent of the 3 per cent of South Australian’s able to participate in the Voice vote even bothered.

To be specific, the care factor among Aboriginal people was 8 per cent of not a lot.
