Look how very many kids have come from the "slums",  ( to shorten the terms ) ,  and made something of themselves.
These days there is so much help, if you want it, and are prepared to try.

What if they don't know the options to help improve their lot?

Whats wrong with helping guide people toward self improvement rather than just saying it is there problem to sort out?

I also think we have to acknowledge that so many of the problems are social ones that no Federal Government can fix no matter what policies they implement or how much money they spend . It’s up to the communities themselves to turn it around. I also can’t see how 20 odd people working out of Canberra can possibly represent our diverse indigenous population in any meaningful way. The Voice is ATSIC mark 2 and will achieve nothing but is hugely divisive and that’s not a good thing!

I had to read this twice or three times. Surely you jest with your stance of voting no.  I highlighted your reasons you wrote in bold as this is what the Voice body is designed to.
