The voters certainly pulled the political class into line as they generally do when un-asked for and unnecessary referenda are forced on them.

But, the result will not have any impact on the tiny minority of aborigines who insist on - or are encouraged to - live in remote areas with no facilities, no jobs, and no hope.

The biggest problem is that these people will do nothing for themselves, like the 80% of aboriginal-background Australians have.

If they want to change, and need help to do so, fair enough. But they don't appear to want change, and the nanny state should stop its nannying until they are actually asked for help by the people themselves, and not be influenced by power-seeking elites whose interest in the outback blackfella us zero.

$40 billion a year is wasted on people who don't necessarily want to change. Almost $400 million was wasted on a referendum that was doomed to fail well before Albanese could have pulled out and saved the money. What an arse!

Now we will have to listen to rambling about investigations into fraud that will never happen, nonsense about reconciliation and recognition, and whatever some self-serving, virtue-signalling, rent-seeking pain in the arse comes up with.

Australians have had enough. They have said so.

The Australian indigenous have had Voices all along, the latest & most ineffective & costly being the NIAA.
Replace that complement with competent & sincere staff & all will be well !

The vote had very little to do with aboriginals.

It was a vote on the trust we have with Albanese, & the people said no we don't trust him with the power to alter the constitution, when he has not explained what he is trying to do.

The referendum result said no we don't trust him at all.
