Dear Foxy,

It isn't the no campaigners who will sink the referendum, so give credit where it is due. Look instead at Western Australia's heritage legislation. If word gets out that that an indigenous corporation demanded a $2.5 million approval fee for a land care group to plant 5500 trees along a Perth river, I think that the yes vote will be lucky to break 30%.

Foxy, this referendum is not about Party politics, it is about what governs Government for all people. You attempt to woo voters is not giving then intelligent information to decide. This cannot be decided on vibe emotion, it must demonstrate positive outcomes. Currently The government has the ears of many aboriginal lobby groups, and a Minister who has responsibility for aboriginal affairs. The Voice will not achieve anything more than is currently being done by Labor. Sack Linda Burney and put in place a fighter for disadvantaged aboriginals.

Reading the reports of Albanese at Garma, he believes this primitive culture should be adopted by all Australians and by that we will all be united. Aboriginals can celebrate their culture, the same as any other culture can celebrate theirs, but we do not expect everyone to celebrate one culture: especially in smoke, clay, dust, lap-lap, with spears in hand.

Had Bunnybanese held a constitutional convention before leaping into this con job, much money and angst could have been saved; and he would not now be looking more deceitful and unhinged by the day.

Josephus writes: "this referendum is not about Party politics".

This has to be the most inane thing written on this forum for a very long time.

Of course it is about politics. It shouldn't be though. The Coalition was responsible for advancing the referendum. It was under their Indigenous Affairs Minister that the co-designed report was commissioned and delivered laying out the proposed mechanisms for the Voice. Their own treasurer Frydenburg set aside money for the referendum in his budget.

But when they lost the election. Now it is full blown political savagery with the AFR reporting a coalition MP recently texting "We can't win the election unless we defeat the Voice solidly, ie we need to defeat it to get to the election starting line."

Dear Steele,

Thank You.

I don't understand why rational people would continue
to fall for the nonsense being spouted by the NO
campaigners. The Voice will be governed by legislation.
There's only one model on the table for us to consider
at the referendum.

People need to stop bringing other things into it.
Stop dealing with hypotheticals and nonsense.

I see Steele has lost his comprehension powers. I said a referendum is not about party politics, and he tries to prove it is. The Constitution is the non-Party document that governs Australia and has no party allegiance envisaged. Of course, Foxy jumps to Steele's support so obviously she believes we put things in the Constitution that supports a Political Party. No wonder they support "Yes" for racial apartheid and giving the powers to govern decisions on stolen land back to aboriginals.
