The yes vote has dropped 3% since the last poll; and Albanese's popularity has also dropped by 3%.

For the first time since the election, Albanese has lost the good will of more than 4 out of 10 Australians; and he is only a third of the way into his term.

The (mainly) government-caused inflation has affected the cost of 'welcome to country' performances. An increase of 30% in some cases.

For run of the mill occasions, the cost is $5,000-$7,500. For the opening of Parliament, it is $10,500.

I wonder if Ernie Dingo, the inventor of this bullsh.t in the seventies, is getting royalties.

I think that it should be promoted as the referendum that will make some Australians more equal than others.

Kudos Fester. Yes "The Voice"- tyranny in the name of equality- ridiculously amusing if it wasn't so serious- normal people need to stand up for themselves their family, their children, the future.

make some Australians more equal than others.
Fester,
nothing new on that front except now we have to deal with fakes on top of it.

Abadaba daba said the monkey to the chimp
Abadaba daba replied the chimpy to the monk
All day long they tried chattering away
But they weren't at all happy and gay

'Çause in a zoo is where they belonged
In a zoo they could sing their song
Freely with gusto they could preen and preach
To like-minded animals within their reach

Happy and gay at a zoo they would be
As long as their abadaba could be heard and seen
Abadaba daba is all these poor animals can do
That's why they really belong in a zoo!
