Will Private Land Become Native Title if The Voice Passes? Voice Myths Debunked
Today's claim: the Voice will abolish private land ownership and revert it all to native title if the Voice referendum succeeds. This is, of course, simply not true. This is actually a bit of misinformation that predates the Voice by a couple of decades and is just being rehashed to stir up the same old unfounded fear for a fresh new audience that doesn't have the historical context. Don't worry: the Voice will not lead to the end of private land ownership - that'd require the nation to actually want to change it collectively, and the Voice's existence or non-existence is not relevant.
