Indyvidual,

If you watched their programs - you just may see for
yourself how they function. That's how you stay
informed and keep up.

Dear ttbn,

Don’t worry, ttbn, the chances of any referendum passing are very slim indeed, – statistically no more than 18%. You can rest assured that "cowardice and stupidity" are fighting a tough uphill battle.

But you’re right, Australians have changed. For over 65,000 years we were all black. Now most of us have changed colour. There’s far more white than black, with some brown, some yellow, the odd red, and even a few with freckles and birthmarks. Our DNA hasn’t changed, though. We’ve all still got the same DNA despite having changed colour.

The big difference is that we no longer all look alike and many of us think and act differently. Some of us are even queer. Or maybe we were always queer and used to hide it in the good old days, but no longer feel the need to do so.

From what you indicate, your conservative anti-Voice comrade is apparently quite race-sensitive. There’s nothing unusual about that. According to the Scanlon 2022 Report, "61% of the Australian-born population think that racism is a very big or fairly big problem".

More than likely, race sensitivity to the Voice project (particularly among some of your conservative comrades) will also have a negative influence on the vote.

So, none of this should keep you awake at night, ttbn. There's nothing to worry about. You may continue to sleep soundly and peacefully.

But don’t forget to vote !

Banjo Paterson,
No-one I know, not even the No voters are against the referendum. Stop peddling this lie & other misinformation !
No-one I know is against recognising the Aborigines as the original inhabitants of this land which the British ended up calling Australia, the Aborigines never had a common description. They never even had a word to describe themselves as they had no concept of race nor of Nation !
That's neither a good nor a bad point, it's merely a point !
What the No movement is on about & morally & rightly so is the fact that the Yes everyone's being asked to approve is not referring to the recognition of the Aborigines, it is plain callously conning people to vote for giving power not to Aborigines but to non-indigenous activists who have no proof of ever having shown any competence or compassion in helping those they're now using to exploit a broken system ! They are the real reason to vote No ! A Yes vote will irreparably fracture this Nation & make the situation worse for the Aborigines from day 1. Yes is giving wrong the thumbs up !

Dear Foxy,

You believe the ABC impartial. Are you for real? What about Lydia Thorpe's strip club altercation? Didn't get reported by the ABC until your favourite moron made mention of it. If a conservative parliamentarian did something like that the ABC would probably still be giving "updates" on the story.

Then there is the story of the preschool kids writing "sorry" cards as an activity. Not on the ABC Foxy. Why is that?

The ABC reports by juvenile reporters, I rather listen to direct speech by the actual people, rather than an edited report. ABC edits its reports with commentary. Avoid the commentary! The commentary is what foxy believes.
