not arguing that. but this looks really bad.
It does look really bad, if you put up a referendum proposal and can't even get to 40% community support, then you would have to question why it was held in the first place. Clearly Albanese didn't think it mattered to try and build support, or to put some detail behind the proposal.
It's difficult to get referendums passed at the best of times, but this was diabolical on a number of fronts.
Get a decent leader like you said and this passes.
It was held because it needs to be done.
Dutton went the Trump route to garner no votes. Hateful and incorrect information and the majority of simple minded folk followed along...
Would like to state, that not all no voters are simple minded. But Dutton certainly appealed to that group
Do we actually think that is the case.....
When i saw what a lot of my friends were posting I'm certain they would have been NO's no matter what way the voice was sold by politicians.
The one that got me from friends and you simply can't change their minds was the whole, one person/one voice, everyone gets a chance to run for parliament and a chance to vote. When i read that continuously all i could do was face palm. I dont think those people are changing because of how 'the voice' is 'sold'
Hate to admit it as well the country regions are miles behind when it comes to inclusiveness etc. I mean grey was 78% no 22 yes. Obviously not big numbers voting but i would guess thats indicitive across all of the country. Not sure the country voters are changing their mind anytime soon sadly.
Very sad state of affairs. People give the current younger generation a lot of stick but i tell you what at least one thing they right have is their passion to be inclusive. Sadly i think it will take my 14 yo & 12 yo daughters generation to get any serious changes.
