Yes Makes it Possible? · The Slippery Slope

  Oh, the propaganda. It is running rife in Australia
• 0:18
  at the moment with the Yes campaign.
• 0:21
  One thing you know, if you keep telling someone a lie, you keep
• 0:24
  propagating lies. Just repeating them?
• 0:26
  Repeating them? Repeating them.
• 0:28
  Prince and repeat, all people eventually believe the lie,
• 0:32
  believe it as truth now. And if you keep telling telling
• 0:36
  a group of people that you know they can't do anything on their
• 0:38
  own, they're absolutely useless. You know, what can they do
• 0:41
  without without someone else's support, without someone else
• 0:44
  helping them long? They are disadvantaged in every
• 0:48
  way. They are not intelligent enough
• 0:50
  to do anything themselves unless you have the almighty government
• 0:55
  holding them being their crutch. They can't do anything.
• 0:59
  They're too silly. The Yes campaign, $20 million.
• 1:05
  Apparently they're spending on this campaign, on the the
• 1:08
  creating of this ad and the campaign, the whole campaign in
• 1:11
  general, 20 million just for what is basically just
• 1:19
  propaganda. Propaganda.
• 1:21
  Let's check it out. Like up in a country that is my
• 1:27
  voice, will I live as long as other Australians?
• 1:32
  Will I get to go to a good school?
• 1:36
  Will I be able to learn my people's language?
• 1:39
  Will I be seen beyond the sports field, recognized by the
• 1:43
  decision makers of our country? Yes.
• 1:48
  Makes it possible. OK, stop right there.
• 1:52
  Cute kid, good looking young fellow.
• 1:55
  Yes, makes it possible. Oh my goodness.
• 2:00
  Let's just go back. I'm gonna go back.
• 2:01
  And for all the points, let's let's stop it.
• 2:04
  Let's stop it and check out, and we'll go refute a few things
• 2:07
  here. Will I grow up in a country that
• 2:10
  is my voice? Will I grow up in a country that
• 2:13
  he is my voice? Yes.
• 2:15
  You already grow up in a country that will hear your voice.
• 2:19
  It's up. It's up to you.
• 2:20
  We all have a voice. Part of that having a voice is
• 2:25
  that we all get to vote. We we all get to stand up and
• 2:28
  and say what we believe you, you have a voice already voting yes.
• 2:35
  Having the voice referendum, having the voice in parliament
• 2:40
  is, is not going to change it. You already have a voice.
• 2:43
  But anyway they they would tell you that no, you don't have a
• 2:46
  voice. You're just a silent minority.
• 2:48
  You have to just sit there. Can't say anything.
• 2:50
  Just shut up, little black boy. Life live as long as other
• 2:55
  strength. Well, I live as long as other
• 2:57
  Australians. Well, again, that's really a
• 3:01
  choice that figures show Indigenous people will not live
• 3:08
  do not live as long. OK, some, some, a lot of that
• 3:13
  unfortunately is because of the choices that that we Indigenous
• 3:19
  people tend to make. OK, you can make.
• 3:23
  Proper choices. We have the information we have
• 3:25
  the ability, we have the things that our fingertips which which
• 3:29
  can enable us to live a long and prosperous life in this country.
• 3:34
  We're in a country where if something's not going right, we
• 3:38
  can. We've got plenty of help.
• 3:41
  We can live longer. We we can find it.
• 3:43
  The information we can stop. Stop relying on the drugs, stop
• 3:46
  relying on the alcohol. Stop relying on these crutches
• 3:50
  that we've been told that we need.
• 3:53
  Things that basically just pull us back and you know you don't
• 3:56
  have to live. I know it's hard to move away
• 3:59
  from your communities, but you can go, You can find excellent
• 4:03
  medical help in this nation if you educate yourself and you
• 4:07
  want to live longer. You can live longer, OK, but you
• 4:11
  have to make the decision and do it for yourself.
• 4:14
  Because, let's face it, everyone can die early now.
• 4:20
  Anyway, I I won't get into the spiritual aspects of it that
• 4:22
  any. But you know it is.
• 4:24
  Again, it's another thing that's just up.
• 4:26
  It's up to you. In reality, let's keep going
• 4:29
  propaganda. Well, I get to go to a good
• 4:33
  school. Well, I get to go to a good
• 4:36
  school. Australia has some of the best
• 4:38
  education in the world. You.
• 4:41
  Yeah, even. Again, precious moments, even
• 4:47
  when you're living out in some of these.
• 4:51
  Rural town, small rural towns. You still have teachers who are
• 4:55
  very highly educated, university educated.
• 4:59
  With the Internet the way it is, you can access so much
• 5:03
  information you can learn. You can go, yes, yes, rural
• 5:08
  learning with this and this is a struggle that's been going on in
• 5:11
  Australia for years and years and years with your Blackwater
• 5:14
  Brindle and the color of your skin does not.
• 5:19
  Does not prevent you from getting a good education.
• 5:22
  You can find the books. You don't even have to buy
• 5:25
  books. You can find it all on the
• 5:26
  Internet. Keep going.
• 5:29
  Again, Education is something that very much relies, can rely,
• 5:35
  you can change, you can make the difference.
• 5:37
  If you want to be educated, you can be educated in this country.
• 5:43
  Will I be able to learn my people's language?
• 5:46
  Yeah, OK. It's not up to the government to
• 5:47
  teach you your people's language.
• 5:49
  When when I worked up Far North and other areas that actually
• 5:52
  speak their own language, it's the community leaders that speak
• 5:57
  the language. It wasn't up to the school or
• 5:58
  the government. You can learn your own language
• 6:02
  usually if you live. If you live in these community
• 6:04
  areas, the elders speak the language.
• 6:07
  Other people speak the language. You learn from them.
• 6:10
  Again, this isn't up to the voice isn't going to change
• 6:12
  that. The government, that's not the
• 6:14
  government's responsibility. Stop relying on the government,
• 6:17
  especially for language. Will I be seen beyond the sports
• 6:21
  field? Will I be seen beyond the
• 6:24
  sports? OK, just I'll go just one.
• 6:27
  One example. Jonathan Thurston, you know,
• 6:32
  proud Indigenous rugby league player, very famous, especially
• 6:35
  up here in the North, you know he?
• 6:38
  He's used the platform that the sports field has given him and
• 6:43
  he's going on to make other contributions in this world.
• 6:47
  He is going on to do some great things within the Indigenous
• 6:50
  community, helping encouraging young Indigenous children to
• 6:54
  continue in school. He's doing great things.
• 6:56
  He is being seen for more than just the sportsman, but but So
• 7:02
  what? It's up to you.
• 7:03
  Again, it's up to you. It's up to you.
• 7:06
  You get, you get given this platform.
• 7:08
  If you're good at sports, you're on this platform.
• 7:11
  It's up to you. What are you going to do with
• 7:12
  that platform? Again, it doesn't matter whether
• 7:15
  you're Blackwater Brindle. This is annoying.
• 7:20
  I'm really finding this annoying.
• 7:22
  Recognized by the decision makers of our country.
• 7:26
  What was that? Let's go back, go back head
• 7:32
  sports fields because. Of our country Likey.
• 7:36
  Strike you, mate. Recognized by the decision
• 7:39
  makers of our country. Ah yeah, the sports field.
• 7:43
  Makes. It possible?
• 7:44
  Yes. Makes it possible.
• 7:46
  OK, this whole thing is just propaganda.
• 7:51
  Yes, makes it possible. All of it is already possible.
• 7:56
  Every single bit of it is already possible.
• 7:59
  A lot of it, if you want it to be possible.
• 8:02
  A lot of it is driven by will be driven by you.
• 8:06
  And your family. But it is all possible already.
• 8:12
  And these same kind of hardships.
• 8:15
  Like I said, doesn't matter about the color of your skin,
• 8:18
  doesn't matter about your cultural heritage.
• 8:21
  Different. Oh sorry.
• 8:25
  I just found this ad infuriating when I saw it.
• 8:28
  Infuriating. Let me know what you think.
• 8:32
  Propaganda. It's propagate.
• 8:33
  It's just propaganda. Stop lying.
• 8:35
  Stop lying to people. Stop lying to the indigenous
• 8:38
  community and feeding them this, this crud that they are just,
• 8:43
  you know, without the voice, they're just we're just useless.
• 8:47
  We can't do anything on our own. I don't need the government.
• 8:53
  Don't don't need the government to help me stay out of my fuss.
• 8:59
  It's annoying. Let me know what you think.
• 9:02
  Thanks for listening to this slippery slide.
• 9:04
  They just
