I have a feeling that we're going to learn some lessons. Many of them will be nasty.

The Voice is just one front in the culture wars, it seems.

"I'd support another attempt to solve the problems through a legislated voice". In other words, "white man knows best". Or "I really don't want a solution. What I want is another failure. I want the status quo to prevail."

I reckon it's time to put aside the white superiority complex and listen for a change.

"If you visit the camps round Alice". Are you saying that the Voice cannot possibly listen to those people? "White man knows best". Again.

The issue is not so much the "abusive people". In this context, my vote doesn't matter much. What matters is the silent onlookers.

How might they interpret: "Just keep mouth shut, smile, nod"? Silence can be interpreted as assent. What is the potential impact on the referendum vote of seeming acquiescence by 'Yes' proponents?

@BlahBlah
It's remarkable that (supposedly) indigenous 'No' proponents can only assert that their communities oppose the Voice. They never post poll results. If they've conducted any polling, then it evidently didn't produce results to support their case.

@platypusparent
If the referendum fails, I will be wondering how many of the 'No' votes can be attributed to:
- intimidation (the sheer virulence of the 'No' campaign);
- fear (confected scaremongering) or;
- a perception that the majority will vote 'No', so that must be right (due to the volume of the 'No' campaign on social media).

@msdropbear42
In some circles, any support for the Voice is pounced upon. It gets quite vicious and intimidatory. To the point that 'Yes' proponents withdraw. Which is the aim.

It's an extreme right-wing Conservative reaction. I feel that it reflects the rise of right-wing extremism in general.

Last day today to issue the writ to have the referendum on 14 October as planned

Any chance the Government doesn't do it given the polling?

Yes can still win but a No win would be a terrible outcome. Better not to risk it and cop the heat for cancelling at the last minute?

#auspol #Yes23

Noel Pearson doing a great job today for example spot on re talking to the Executive and not just the government

It would be ridiculous double handling if The Voice couldn't talk to the Executive

#auspol #Insiders #Yes23

The polling is terrible, I think Yes can still turn it around but it's going to mean a lot of people flipping

We need a circuit breaker

#auspol #Insiders #Yes23

Dutton on, not great to wake up to but I guess he has to get a go now and then

Sticking by his line that he'll have a referendum on constitutional recognition if he becomes PM. Well unless he can change the question this time around lol

Seems to acknowledge that the referedum failing will damage our reputation internationally although I'd argue it would just shine a light rather than highlight something new

So if No wins, I hope it doesn't, and there's eventually a change of government we get

Another referendum on constitutional recognition

Potentially legislated regional voices

And if Warren Mundine gets his way, treaties

Sounds like it's easier to just vote Yes this time around
