The whole thing was a fumble. They picked the wrong time and appealed to the wrong people. They also never sold why it needed to happen.
What does a Chinese, Afghan or Sudanese citizen even understand or care about a group of people when they probably have never even met one.
They appealed to the inner city rich snobs and no one else. The inner city was going to vote yes anyway. Why didn't they go where the no votes were?

There were 2 main issues for me.

  1. The wording did not specify how they would be selected.
  2. The voice did not require that the members needed to be Aboriginal. So it would have been a bunch of non Aboriginal mates of politicians in the voice. Just like how Tony Abbott got to be the minister for women.

The yes campaign just said trust us it will do nothing so you don't need to worry. What was the point then?

We are more progressive. The trouble is the amendment was too vague and if anyone asked questions or suggested that they might vote no, they got called a racist and told to educate themselves.
The Yes campaign ended up mostly using the argument that you should vote yes because conservative are telling you to say no.

This tastes like real milk, and only 2% fat.
Looks significantly at your stomach

With the exception of the festival attack you could just as easily be describing the IDF. Hamas and the IDF are evil.

Maybe try some of the newer oat milks.
They don't taste the same but they taste good.

It's very relevant. We need to decide if we want to irrevocably change the country. We need more than "don't worry about it"

Something I have not seen discussed anywhere.
They do not specify that this group will be elected. That mean they will be appointed. I just can't see future for this other than a punch of politicians mates from the inner city. Completely out of touch with the needs of those they represent.
I'm still leaning towards voting yes but I don't see this actually helping. It's probably just going to cost the tax payers a bunch of money and do no good.
If they were elected then they could be held to account.

Tell me about it. It took me about 15 minutes to do mine and my wife's taxes this year.

I just completed my tax on my gov and the estimate says I owe nearly a thousand dollars. I'm not earning any more than last year and I got about 800 back last year. Anyone else having this issue?

I just gave up and went back to brushing my teeth like a caveman.

It's a star trek joke. Whenever anything goes wrong they reverse the polarity and that magically fixes it.

And only 2 temperatures. 180 or 200.
