Glad to see that the author is voting NO. But, if he was really "over" the Voice, why write about it at this late stage? There is no reason for anyone to be rabbiting on about it. Anyone who has not made his or her mind made up now - or even right from the beginning - is a waste of space who will probably put a cross or a tick on the ballot paper.

We will have the d...headed volunteers poking bits of paper at us as we are trying to get in to vote - even though there is only one question to answer: no choice to be made from a list of candidates, or anything like that. Just one of two answers.

The ignorance and wankery of Australians when it comes to politics and what politicians are doing to them never ceases to amaze me.

You and me both.....

Yes I am over it too.

I am over the lying, the misinformation, the bottomless pit of scare tactics from the No campaign.

I am repulsed by Peter Dutton, motivated by scoring points against a political opponent and to hell with what is right for the country.

I despair for the energy so many have wasted, attempting to justifying their stance when all they display is their willful ignorance (i.e. …I have read all 26 pages of the Uluru Statement from the Heart…).

I despair for the vitriol so many have vomited up about our fellow human beings.

Yes, I am well over it too

I've mentioned before on OLO about resource projects that have been stalled indefinitely by aboriginal concerns. Another issue is no go areas for the general public. One rocky prominence that is enforced is Uluru a.k.a. Ayers Rock. Others that I know of include Bluff Knoll in WA, Mt Arapiles Vic and Mt Warning in Qld to use their 20th century names. If the Voice succeeds I'd expect the number of off-limits areas to proliferate on the pretext of cultural significance.

We're all Australians if we want to climb a big hill we should be able to. Better still make schoolkids do it for exercise. Imagine if aboriginal Australians were denied access to formerly free access areas.

Aries54 and other YES voters, go and read this.
