The IPA, like the other 500+ affiliate 'institutes' of the Atlas Network, can safely be regarded as a fossil fuel front. See this article as exemplary of similar tactics deployed in Canada- now clearly underway here- to undermine Indigenous rights.
The ACT Party was founded by (and for) the Atlas Network. Why lie about that?

Or: The reason Vote No exists is to protect oil & gas companies from an Australian Parliament with a First Nations Voice that might speak of our moral obligation to care for country, as opposed to burning the world down and turning the oceans acid for tax free $$$$ for Big Oil

ATLAS NETWORK UPDATES:
Luke Malpass, political editor of Stuff, has plenty of opeds on the CIS & NZI websites. Founded by Santos, Shell, BHP, RioTinto & the Murdoch press, CIS seeded the NZ Atlas. Imposing costs on fossil fuel pollution to drive decarbonisation is bad. Links π

ATLAS UPDATES NZ:
1/9 Roger Partridge, Mont Pelerin Society member & chair of Atlas Networkβs NZ Initiative, challenges the legality of the Treaty as NZβs constitutional document, in line with Atlas/ACT David Seymourβs call for a referendum on the Treaty
How does the Atlas Network attack Australian and NZ consitutional discourse for the benefit of fossil fuel corporations? Promoting racism and racist discourse against Indigenous peoples by repeating the slogan "End Division by Race"

Two of its horrid lies: fossil fuel burning (C02) does not heat the Earth; native kids were not robbed of their childhood. See π§΅π

The Frontier Centre for Public Policy (FCPP), a Canadian think-tank, claims it's a myth that "residential schools robbed native kids of their childhood".

What's this NZ Political Research Centre then. Have they published any actual research?
Looks super dodgy. Anyone who is talking about 'race' and 'equality' and 'division' with respect to First Nations is trying to whip up racists, divide the nation, and increase inequality.
"For a start, just look at the advertisement. Itβs a breathless recital of inflammatory phrases: One raceβ¦race-based controlβ¦preferential rightsβ¦race-based giveawayβ¦separate race-based controlβ¦separate rights based on raceβ¦tribal control"

David Seymour, in a nice Canadian accent, arguing Calgary (capitol of Alberta, the oilsands state) should spend less on public transit & more on roads for more cars & more petrol, on behalf of the fossil/Atlas thinktank Frontier.

@RonniSalt
A First Nations Voice will speak of the sacred duty to care for Country for all future generations. So it is being targeted for defeat by fossil fuel/mining MNCs that manage state power to ensure they can ruin Country for profit. Who benefits from Vote No?
Jeremy Walker β€οΈπ€π Always was #YES always will
Good question! π§΅1/16 . Price and Mundine are uncritically platformed to campaign against Voice, Treaty & Truth. Evidence suggests they speak not with the authority of any First Nations community but for fossil fuel/mining corporates.

Wait, but didn't PM Malcolm Turnbull give $444 million of taxpayer's public money to John Schubert** of the private 'Great Barrier Reef Foundation' to 'make the Reef resilient' to being cooked by fossil fuel combustion?

OK. That little thread on the grifty Aussie so-called 'unions' entering the NZ space for clearly not so union-like reasons?
Recall that they're part of the Red Unions lot, which itself is owned by Queensland Association Services Group Pty Ltd?

ACT is a neoliberal

party. As such it recognises only one motive: greed, & serves only those who excel at greed: billionaires & giant corporations. The beauty, creativity, diversity & complexity of human culture, and of the biosphere, means nothing to these vandals.
