I had another example of the bonkers conspiracy theories of the No campaign while handing out #VoteYes flyers at the #City2Surf yesterday. Someone told me Indigenous people had submitted a petition opposing the #VoiceToParliament to the Governor General, and the Albanese government won't forward it to the King. Hmm, sounds familiar!

Except, one's a true story from 1933, and the other is a lie from 2023! 🙄
