We're told that "advised by slick US-based conservative
marketing and fund raising campaigners and
enthusiastically amplified by right-wing Australian
media - the NO case created a wild-fire of online
outrage, simplistic misrepresentation and false charges
of hidden intent."
Claims that the Voice would be a "Canberra" body
populated by "elites" they said. Even though the whole
idea was to give true representation to communities.
Then we had the accusation that the Voice concealed
a "secret" plan to negotiate a treaty - given that
the slogan of the Uluru Statement was - "Voice, Treaty,
Truth" this inspiration was hardly secret or hidden.
It was always a separate possible future process.
Then there was the assertion that the Voice would
require landowners to "pay the rent" to "Aboriginal
Councils." It was alleged even though the idea has
nothing to do with the Referendum and that the Voice
would be a non-binding advisory body which would
never be able to enforce such a suggestion were it
ever to be made.
