What did people expect? As has been pointed out so many times, Australia is miles behind the rest of the world when it comes to accepting its true history and recognising the importance of its Indigenous peoples. A model of recognition as limited as the Voice can only be controversial in a country where the average citizen is completely ignorant about history. It makes us look stupid and uneducated, which we are.
