Aboriginals we’re even denied a seat in politics just in the last few months. I remember being shocked they voted in Tony abbot ..who for years screamed about women’s menstruation in parliament. Australia is super backwards.

Abbott was also appointed Minister for Women.

The Voice which, if I understand correctly, wasn't an offer of a seat in parliament, it was a constitutional amendment that would allow an advisory board for Aboriginal and Torres strait islanders. They wouldn't have had any actual power any way.
