finally, we vote sensibly on something for once. About time.

60:40 no too, pretty decisively.

What was the voice? Anyone who pretends to be able to tell you is lying, because there were no details. If I were conspiratorially minded (and I am) I'd suggest it was deliberately vague with no details, labor (note the unaustralian spelling of their party name) just wanted a blank cheque to form an advisory board of lefties and suck up taxpayer funds called 'the voice', ostensibly 'to give the indigenous additional representation and voice', even though they're already disproportionately represented in our parliament. Why else not provide a plan and structure for this thing you are wanting to enshrine in our constitution and have us stuck with from here-on in.

We've had these bullshit 'advisory boards' before, and they're just utterly corrupt money pits that get dissolved later with both party's agreement, being stuck with it cause it's in the constitution is not what we need. Look up 'Geoff Clark atsic' to see what happened to the last one, just hideously corrupt.

Labor is absolutely free to consult with whoever they want, they don't need it in the constitution to do so. What they wanted was for the liberals to be forced to have to do so, and have them and their buddies funded with another corrupt board on taxpayer funds.

But we were all forced (compulsory voting) to come to the polls today and tell them to fuck off. Even the usually lefty Australia and city reddits are saying this was a cockup, and admitting to having voted no on this. What a waste of time and money
