If you didn't see the news - which would be impossible in Australia as it has been getting 24/7 coverage over the weekend - the Referendum to enshrine Aborigines in the Constitution with an Advisory Board called the Voice has been spectacularly defeated. The Left are now playing the blame game and blaming everyone but themselves. They're campaign made so many mis-steps it was always doomed to failure. Personally I think the big shift came when Western Australia made new Aboriginal Heritage laws which immediately backfired. The very first issue that arose from it was when a group of volunteers wanted to plant 1000 trees on some 'public' land. The aboriginal elder demanded $200,000 to let them do it. The backlash was swift and severe. The big takeaway from the vote though was that the people who live with the most Aborigines were the most against it whilst the inner city latte sipping Green/Left Elites were the only people who supported. But too many people are now aware of the WEF's long term plans and the way they will use indigenous peoples to push it. Everyone I spoke to thought it was a foot in the door for reparations and rent-seeking which the Aborigines disingenuously called "Truth telling". At the end of the day every aborigine is getting over $45,000 spent on them annually. That's way more than the white and no-abo communities who receive around $20,000 for social benefits. The other issue that was raised constantly was that people do not view anyone with less than 75% Abo heritage as being Aborigine. And their movement was hijacked by all these half caste activists looking to cement a seat at the political table and have a say over massive handouts. I saw people whiter than me (i'm virtually albino) claiming to be abos just for the virtue signaling. But credit to the everyday suburbanite who saw through this. This result and the NZ election shows that people are waking up to the international left and we will not go silently into that bug eating, no possessions WEF dystopia.

I didn't expect that result. There was a sign as well in social media where people that looked like aborigines were distrustful of the voice and urged people to vote no.
Each camp had an Aboriginal Leader. The No Campaigns was far more photogenic and charismatic and considered everyone australian. The Yes Campaigns was a shrill harpy that thought no voters were racists.
