"And how many people turned up last week-end for
the No campaign rallies compared to the Yes
campaign walks the previous week-end."?

I'd guess that cults measure success by the number of enthusiasts they can get to a rally. I don't get the vibe of either cults or rallys.

Who lost the last election?
Foxy,
The outnumbered common sense !

Spot on.

Common sense prevailed!

Common sense prevailed!
Foxy,
Not yet, next election !

The question is "Would The Voice Stop The Vice?"
Going by the usefulness of the activists involved & the recent examples shown by the Yes movement and, in the interest of the future of this Nation, the answer is a resounding No !

Dear Fester,

The 40 billion figure is the 33 billion of the productivity commission in 2017 with inflation added by the malcontents. It has not been validated. But you know that yet continue to flog it.

Around 27 billion of the original figure was for services all Australians can access like Medicare and primary school education.

There is no doubt that due to poverty and remoteness many of those in Indigenous communities access those services at a greater rate. There is no evidence to say they do so at a greater rate than any other communities of similar socio-economic ranking.

The figure also included incarceration costs.

The Voice wants to work to address these poverty impacts and in doing so will reduce the need for tax payer funded services by Indigenous Australians.

Why on earth don't you?

Better education, more jobs, better health outcomes, less crime will all markedly contribute to reducing the greater call on those services. It should be in the interests of All Australians that that happens.

Why isn't it in yours?

Or are you simply more comfortable with keeping them in their place?
