For those of you in Adelaide, there is a walk for Yes on Sat 16 Sept at 11.30am, starting in Tarntanyangga (Victoria Square)...

“The idea that the people who stole this land, and then who directly benefited from it, are now going to a referendum to think about recognising the people they stole it off is insane."

I have often checked out Dr Kevin Bonham for general polling information. e.g. in the lead up to elections.

He has a write up about The Voice poll on his blog. I thought it was interesting reading.

‘Evil’: Joyce message that went too far - https://apple.news/ACsrkK0s-QsCIYSlnd83rQg | Ah, News.com.au… They’ll gladly call out abuse directed at Alan Joyce, whilst ignoring the fact that we’re about to have a blatantly #racist #referendum ! Can anybody say “hypocrisy”? | #AlanJoyce #QANTAS #racism #Voice #TheVoice #hypocrisy #NewsCorp

How can an attempt to right the wrongs of a colonial past be "divisive" to any reasonable mind? It's the most fantastic thing any nation could do. #TheVoice

I'm confused.

How did #TheVoice get hooked into Parliament? A chair turns, the resolution passes?

Peter Dutton is such a bullshit artist!

How is Peter Dutton going to hold a second referendum? Only the PM can do that. Dutton is not the PM, won't be PM any time soon, and is unlikely to ever be PM.
He's trying to convince people the Voice referendum is low-stakes and he can give us a do-over if the "Yes" vote doesn't get up. What a load of shit. This is flagrant bullshit.

Dutton is importing MAGA-style tactics: "Flood the zone with shit". He lies and he lies and he lies. He's trying to deliberately exhaust us with a deluge of misinformation to the point where they can't tell truth from lies, nothing means anything, people are rendered incapable of caring, and slip into nihilism. He dreams of being an autocrat without anyone able to challenge him.

If you think of yourself as a “progressive” in Australia and oppose #thevoice take a hard look at yourself in the mirror: is your “purity” worth getting NOTHING now and NOTHING for decades to come? #aNoNowIsANoForever

I wasn’t 30 when the Republic Referendum happened in 1996. I WILL NOT LIVE TO SEE A SECOND REPUBLIC REFERENDUM. #ANoNowIsANoForever #TheVoice #AustralianReferendaAreTerrible

Periodic reminders that if #thevoice fails it fails FOREVER, there won’t be a second chance.

If #thevoice succeeds then there will be a chance to build on it.

This is pretty much the only thing I’m going to post on this subject. The “No” campaign’s “if you don’t know, vote no” slogan is bullshit. Click the link above, and find out.

The 92 words the vote is actually about.
In three toots.

In recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia

i. there shall be a body, to be called the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice;

Seems pretty straightforward.

#auspoll #thevoice I guess anyone who could write From Little Things years ago has some credibility.

We've learned that a screenshot of They Vote For You is being shared online that shows Opposition Leader Peter Dutton as a supporter of the Voice. This is clearly wrong and is connected to the error we posted about last week.

If you'd like to know more about what happened and what we've done in response, please see our new blog post on the subject https://www.oaf.org.au/2023/09/01/they-vote-for-you-theres-something-wrong-with-peter-duttons-voting-record/

Here's a link to a considered, cautious but hopeful "Yes, and..." statement on #TheVoice from the Indigenous leaders and non-Indigenous members of the Karrkad Kanjdji Trust, and what it might mean for Indigenous rangers and the remote communities of Arnhem Land.

"Most Bininj (Aboriginal people of West and Central Arnhem Land) who we speak with are reckoning with a deep mistrust of government and a lack of faith in political processes. This is to be expected after decades of damaging and dysfunctional policies. We have heard from people who no longer vote because they never see improvements."

"Bininj have many hopes, many dreams and many fears. The Voice may not be the complete solution, but we know how much can be achieved by simply creating the space to listen. This is the rare opportunity for change in front of us today..."

And, I can #Still have #AllMyToots read in #TheVoice of #EgyptianSpanishSeanConnery from #SeanLander, right...?!

This from Malinauskis is quite rousing:

“If our forefathers and mothers can say yes to universal franchise, if our great grandparents can say yes to waves of migration, if our grandparents can say yes in 1967, if our parents can say yes to land rights, then this generation is capable of saying yes to an advisory committee.”
