The first one of the 'NO' mob arrives, preferring to speak about the off topic spending of the long dead Ratbag Ronnie in America, than condemn the disgusting actions from an unidentified member of the Neo-Nazi's 'The Warriors for Convict Resistance' who support the 'NO' campaign. You're in good company fellas!

Village idiot,

You first brought it up and as usual, got it wrong.

Well it's all over (for now).

Here's how prominent Australians reacted to the
Indigenous Voice Referendum result:

A day of sadness indeed!

Hi Foxy,

The Voice went down, well not much to say about that, I'm not particularly peeved, more ho hum, so what. Some folk will be disappointed, but the struggle for truth telling and recognition goes on. Where to from here will be interesting, more of the same, or a new direction, it remains to be seen.

On a lighter note, our DEMOCRACY SAUSAGE SIZZLE went off very well on Saturday, with over $1,000 raised for our charity. Which will be put to good use, now that Xmas is approaching, and our Xmas Lunch and Hamper Give-A-Way is planned to kick off at the end of the month. Last year we had about 80 for Xmas Lunch, and gave out around 160 hampers, just before Xmas, expecting an increase in both this year. We'll start approaching our benefactors and the general public very shortly for donations.

Hi Paul,

It's not all over. It may wind down for a while, but
I'm sure that progress will be made at the state level.
In any case at least the issues have been brought out
into the open. So we can take heart that they won't
disappear.

Congratulations! on the money raised. We do good work.
And as you say - with Christmas just around the corner -
well done!

I'm going to have to start moving on our Christmas
family planning as well. I spoke to my older brother
yesterday. He lives with his wife in Byron. He sounded
strong for a change (he's got early alzheimers). His
wife told me he's had more good days than bad recently.
Which I was glad to hear. BTW - he voted NO in the
Voice Referendum - there you go. I suspect my younger
brother who lived in regional NSW voted NO as well.

There are differences of opinions I guess, depending
where you live and the influences that affect you.

Hopefully though, we shall be able to come together as
a people and as a nation, under the right leadership,
in the future. Sooner rather than later.
