There is a grand total of 15 voters involved in this discussion.

15 voters out of around 17,000,000.

Nothing any of us says or thinks will make any difference in the scheme of things.

This thread has been just another shite-stirring waste of time, particularly as the 15 posters involved will be voting the same way they intended to before the stirrer started the thread.

Indyvidual,

I grew up in the Western suburbs of Sydney.
My parents both worked hard. They worked in factories
because their qualifications were not recognised. Dad worked
in a rubber factory - and worked double
shifts to pay the bills. It was blood, sweat, and tears.
He had a young family to support as well as mum's elderly
parents. He had a hard life. And worked hard.
He died of a massive coronary at the age of 52. Mum managed.
It was not an easy life for anyone.

I managed to study - while working full-time and raising a
family. This wasn't easy either. Nobody gave me anything.
I also worked hard for it all. Your reference to me and just
libraries
is not accurate. I worked in a variety of jobs across
two continents. I achieved what I did through hard work and
merit.

Please don't address any more posts to me.

I am no longer interested in what you have to say - or what
you think.

What's the average number of posters that respond
to other discussions? And are other people who
start discussions on issues "stirrers" as well
Or only a select few, who don't appeal to our
regular piece of dung - who thinks the universe
revolves around him?

And, obviously this discussion has not been a waste
of time judging from the heated responses and over
321 posts. Of course our resident toxic poster is
under no obligation to participate in this discussion
of read any of the posts. I wonder why he does?

Perhaps he's lonely from the inaction that is the norm on his
discussions? That would explain it.

No, this thread hasn't been a waste of time on the contrary. It showed us the kind of characters who support the Yes side & how they think about those who have the experience they don't have for a sober assessment of the Voice !

Dear Foxy,

You shouldn't feel sad about the debate spurred by the Voice. I feel it a very good thing when people are forced to think about things, and the Voice has done just that. From my perspective, if the Voice referendum fails it will indicate that a majority of Australian voters believe that the problems of indigenous Australians might have a better chance of being solved by all Australians than by indigenous Australians alone. Unity is strength Foxy, and in this nation we are all equals.
