Kamahl deserves an apology from the Project. The panel was condescending towards him. Hamish should also correct his “fact check” … the $4.5B NIAA spend Hamish quoted is only part of the $40B figure Kamahl quoted. Kamahl was correct.

That was my favorite project episode ever. Clear panic turn gas lighting and bullying an 88 year old man followed by a bucket of self righteousness. Kamahl deserves am apology.

The Project owes this bloke an apology….

The woke project can’t cope 😂😂😂

That's right it's not The Project's job to persuade people. Keep your noses out of it because your show is having the opposite effect.

Say no to protected classes. Say no to segregation. Say no to institutional racism.

If Kamahl can backflip so can I. I am now voting NO.

The people on the show didn't like his no comment good on you kamarl

I’m with Kamahl here,100%.

These idiotic panalists degrading this man hes voting no stop degrading him.

shame on the project. they planned to promote a Yes supporter but because Khamal supports the No they try to discredit him. labelling him in this youtube name as "backflipping again" and during the interview changing their script trying to poke holes in everything he said. They all really exposed their unprofessional unjournalistic bias. particularly about the 40 billion dollars. telling Khamal he is wrong and comparing it to the 4 million allocated through one particular funding entity whereas Khamal was talking about the entire allocation to all aboriginal organisations. And they knew this.... seriously, does anyone think only 4 million is disbursed overall? But the project claimed this to discredit Khamal. Really disgraceful.

Why are you trying to brow beat kamahl about his decision on the voice.

4.5 Billion? Absolute rubbish. The NIAA alone has an annual budget of $3.4 Billion. That is 1 advisory body. There are 243 Native Title Bodies, 48 Land Councils, 35 Regional Councils. 122+ Aboriginal Agencies, 3 Advisory bodies, 145 Health organisations. The annual budget for all of these exceeds $30 Billion per annum. Get your bloody facts right!

True racism from the project. "Support aboriginals, as long as they agree with me!"

Good on you Khamal , it's all racist propaganda. One people one Australia 🇦🇺

“It’s not our job to persuade people”… all they did was argue him!!

At least he has the guts to give his opinion in public instead of worrying about public opinion. Legend....

The Project really should be called 'The Propagandist'

Kamal is 100% right. It comes down to principle. We all need to be treated the same under the laws of the land. Anything else is UNFAIR.

Like Kamahl, I’m voting No because it’s an informed decision.

I’m with Kamahl here,100%, and the project SHAME ON YOU, we do spend $40B per year.

😂😂😂😂 the project thought they were going to boost that yes propaganda and back fired big time 😂😂😂😂😂

The productivity commission is where that money figure coming from. Congrats kamahl on getting educated.

It is 40 billion a year are you going to appologise to Kamahl

Hilarious!! Thanks Kamahl for giving us priceless facial shock expressions on this lot. Absolutely outstanding!!

The Project hosts are leftist jokes

$39.5B spent on indigenous has just been confirmed by Skynews. The Project owes Kamahl a apology!

Very well done Kamahl, you have a good understanding, though the hosts were trying to herd you.

I loved the backflip, the shock on the presenter’s faces and the fact he called a spade a spade. They had to finish the segment fast once they realised their Yes discussion was in fact a debate on No. The look on their faces and Kamahl’s facts were correct. $40 billion has been spent and we should be doing what Jacinta has stated and auditing where and how the money has been spent. Every Australian deserves to be supported and that is equal. Let’s ensure the Aboriginal support is handled properly with the democratic system we have in place.

Kamahl was as informed as any Australian can be. After all Albanese wants us all in the dark.

The 10 hosts are trying to bully Kamal

8:52 "It's not our job to persuade people" LMAO - that's exactly what that woman was doing while she was shrieking over the top of Kamahl as he was trying to clarify his point after getting cut off. Man, these hosts are insufferable. Also the $40 billion claim is CORRECT. That's the combined annual figure of all government allocation to all aboriginal organisations.

Kamalah, YOU WERE 100% RIGHT ON THE 40 MILLION. The misinformation these people share time, time again is a blight on Australians. PERIOD

The project hosts are awful! They make their left position very clear and try to embarrass people with a different view to them.

I came here for the backflip ...I stayed for the NO!

I am voting NO because I am not a racist and I don’t think you should treat people differently

Kamahl has done his research and come to his senses, it's time for the rest of the Aussie's to do the same and say 'NO"

And this is exactly why I no longer watch the Project. Social media has a lot to answer for.

The $40 billion figure he was referring to was the budget allocation for the Closing the Gap program. There is $40 billion exclusively allocated to helping improve their health/education/employment outcomes etc.

The shock on their faces when they realised Kamahl was voting NO. So only aboriginals should get a direct say on issues that affect them. I thought that was what a voting system was for.

Lol - the outrage expressed at Kamahl for changing his minds in accordance with FACTS.

I have to say I laughed so hard when Kamahl announced his backflip live on air. Clearly they thought he was in the bag and after building the man up they then did there best to tear him down. By the way the productivity commission reported 30 billion was spent on indigenous affairs in 2017 which has risen to at least 35 billion now so he wasn’t that far wrong about the spend. The point was made that not all of this was direct payments but the if the productivity commission say that 35 billion is spent on indigenous affairs then that’s a fair statement for him to make and old mate on the panel should be ashamed of fact checking without the facts.

If 'The Project' represents the standard of the mainstream media, then it's no wonder they are worried so much about social media. Their incredulity that Kamahl could think for himself is hilarious and sad at once.

The project panel showing no respect to Kamahl's 'voice' and thinking their opinion on the matter is correct is quite hypocritical to what they claim they are trying to change.

The hosts were visibly triggered by Kamahl’s ‘uninformed’ opinion that 70% of Aussies already agree with. Perhaps Kamahl’s infiltration of common sense into their echo chamber will make them think twice, but I doubt it.

Kamahl is a swinging voter, fair enough!

Good on you Kamahl ! I'm voting with you !

Haha well that backfired 😂 the project is a joke

the presenters dont understand it but pretend they do

Hamish Macdonald conuntered Kamahl's claim that $40 billion is spent on indigenous people by saying it was it is $4.5 billion, however this is only theannual budget for the National Indigenous Australians Agency and NOT the TOTAL budget spend, which it seems that Kamahl was referring to and maybe coincidentally, is also mentioned in Productivity Commission reports. I do hope that Hamish and the other members of The Project's panel, reach out to Kamahl and apologise to him.

I’m with Kamahl 100%. No to racial division. I also would like to know where the 30 plus billion dollars are spent annually?

Good on Khamal for having the brains and guts to investigate the issue and make a sound decision

*Taxpayers give $39 BILLION annually for 984,000 people (3.8% of the population)* *3,521 Aboriginal & TSI corporations* *243 Native title bodies* *48 Land councils* *35 Regional councils* *122+ Aboriginal agencies* *3 Advisory bodies* *145 Health Organisations* *11 Indigenous Federal MPs* *12 Culturally important Indigenous days* *Taxpayers give $39 BILLION annually for 984,000 people (3.8% of the population)* *Expenditure per person in 2012-13 was $43,449 on Indigenous Australian compare to* *$20,900 on other Australians a ratio of 2.08 to 1 and increase from 1.95 in 2009.* Australian taxpayers spend at least $100 million a day on direct support for Indigenous Australians every year or $39.5 billion of direct government expenditure every single year. The figures are based on the 2017 Indigenous Expenditure Report produced by the Productivity COMMISSION

Like many of us, Kamahl is interested in where all of the money has gone, for NO result. Though Noal Pearson has done quite well out of the indigenous industry so far. There are already 11 indigenous people in parlement, who are quite capable of voicing concerns for them. The constitution doesent need to be tampered with to improve the lives of the indigenous.

And that is modern day journalism.

VOTING NO

Kamal is smart

With 3,400 Indigenous Associations and 11MPs, they already have access to policy makers and can provide advice.

Have you felt pressured one way or another? You mean like the ppl on this panel are trying to pressure someone for not saying what they thought/want? What a despicable display from this panel - it’s The Project, what else are ppl to expect.

4 billion, 40 billion, it's still more than enough money per indigenous person to make some kind of impact. They themselves say it hasn't, and they need the voice now.... show me the money. What have they done with it? Kamahl is right.

"The younger generation informing the older generation"...that's ageist and perhaps an expected result of the bias on the panel being exposed so blatantly

i love the way they all have a concerned face when he says no, like they have been told grandma just died.

6:46 The project needs to apologise they got it wrong,…it is 40 BILLION! Apologise….

Remarkabke how nany indigenous leaders in urban and remote areas are voting NO ro the Voice. Another remarkable oddity is how most of the YES camps sypporters are NOT indihenous people but insufferble woke white Greens/Labor voters. If our indigenous oeople arent all that keen, then whose agenda does it serve?

Bet the ABC is not reporting his latest decision....

I emailed the federal government department responsible for the voice and asked them how many people will be on the body and how much will they get paid and they could not answer. I am not voting to put more overpaid bureaucrats in Canberra when I don’t even know how many there will be, and what they will be paid.

THE VOICE 3,278 Aboriginal corporations • 243 Native title bodies • 48 Land councils • 35 Regional councils • 122+ Aboriginal agencies • 3 Advisory bodies • 145 Health Organisations • 11 Indigenous Federal MPs • 12 Culturally important Indigenous days • Taxpayers give $3B annually for 984,000 people (3.8% of the population) • Expenditure per person in 2012-13 was $43,449 on Indigenous Australian compare to $20,900 on other Australians a ratio of 2.08 to 1 and increase from 1.95 in 2009. No my figures but happy to see those 'in the know', correct them and put up a more accurate version. Nevertheless, there is no lack of 'Voice' here..... There is far more than I've got and I was born here too and I've been on this land longer than most who are reading this.

Haha. Love it Kamahl!

😊 What we have now is no accountability of where the money ( $30-40 billion) goes or how it is spent with the existing organisations and service providers. This is what needs to change. A referendum will not change this. What is needed is an inquiry.

Thanks Kamahl, you are truly a great Australian

Hahaha omg look at them trying to talk him out of it! 😂 Absolutely gas lighting him

“Your job is to inform facts as journalists”….🤣🤣 it’s a NO..!! Well done kamal

Hamish is so disingenuous on the fact checking! Khamal is 100% correct with his figures. The figures are all there in black and white when you read the indigenous expenditure reports!

Kamahl's point about where all the money goes, is definately worth investigating.

Jacinta is the Voice, she is exactly what is needed for change.

Thank you Kamal. You are right, a legend and a man for standing up for what is right.

The Project showing its bias and now trying to make a fool of poor Kamal. Your facts are not facts Project.

Need to fact check Hamish’s claims

For a guy turning 90 next year, he's looking pretty good.

Hes come to his senses

They're bullying Kamal because he is not going according to their narrative 😂😂😂

They sent him to their 'yes re-education camp', but the force was too strong in Obi-Wan Kamahl.

The $30 billion figure appears to have come from the Productivity Commission's most Indigenous Expenditure Report, published in 2017, which provides a breakdown of total "direct expenditure" on First Nations Australians. So probably exceeding $40 billion now.. The report estimated that direct expenditure on all Australians - by all state, territory and federal governments - totalled $556.1 billion in 2015-16, of which $33.4 billion (6 per cent) was spent on First Nations people.

That arrogant panel owes Kamahl an apology. $39 billion a year of tax payers money spent on indigenous organisations is CORRECT.

The project tried to gaslight kamahl. The way the hosts talked to him condescendingly was shameful. I'm voting no against the racist voice.

The panels are ganging up on Kamahl. He’s our Elder and much loved.

I never watch this show on tv, they are an embarrassment to Australia. Much like the view in the USA. Welcome to sanity Kamahl.

Bet not one of those clowns on the panel have ever been to a Community to see what Aboriginal Corporations have done to their own people over the last 40 years.. SAY NO!!!

The pro voice project won’t like this blowing up in their TV show.

The Project didn’t see that coming 😂

Time for AUDITS ASAP. Time for truth telling now

Just make sure you write NO and bring a pen ! Good on you Kamahl having the guts to stand up to this nonsense .

You were trying to persuade him which is unprofessional. Also the 34 billion is correct it also includes the funds allocated to health, education, unemployment, pensions, etc! So you guys need to be informed.

He was correct , Credlin added it up tonight , Federal , State projects , pensions etc .??

Kamahl was ‘spot on’ with $40 billion Indigenous spending claim; Hamish your judgement is clouded, you owe Kamahl an apology!

well played Kamahl, that was a work of art

Kamahl was right on the 40 billion dollars spent on Indigenous people in Australia. You tried to mix up his words and make it about one federal department. He deserves a public apology from the project. No wonder no one watched the project anymore.

so who were these 'fact checkers' ?

$4.5B…is no small amount of money in a single year!

Smart to announce that live, if he had told them before the interview they would not have allowed him on the air!
