The Voice is designed to be the first step in a three-part reform process

Is the issuing of casino licenses step 2 or 3? (I guess that would be lisenses?)

Seems to me that if they’re able to vote...which I assume is the case...they already have a “voice”.

See Bureau of Indian Affairs if you want to know what this is about. The aborigines are about to be law-faired. It’ll all be legal of course. They are as good as dead.

Learn from the USA, and see how well/badly it has worked out for the USA to have a “sovereign nation” within another sovereign nation, with higher privileges and different laws.

The polling is overwhelmingly No. So unless there is massive fraud, this thing will be defeated.

Elites never learn on polling. They think that their push polls and wokeness affirming agendas at the start of a campaign determine the outcome.

But the Canadian Charlottetown referendum, Maastricht Treaty votes, Brexit, once they allow referendums, they lose.

Next time they do this in Australia, elites will just jam it through without a vote.

Everyone is equal but some are more equal than others.

Its a shame what they have done to their country.

90 minutes after polls closed in the eastern states - they are still open in the west - it is clear that the referendum has failed, and Australia will not be enshrining special rights for indigenous people into the constitution over and above those all Australians enjoy.

This is a significant victory for conservatism in Australia.

The final result isn’t known but it is now mathematically impossible for the Yes case to succeed, and it’s looking like a landslide for No.
