A day of sadness indeed!

The YES campaign started with such hope
Thinking it was something
With which
Aussies could cope

No one was prepared
For the lies that would come
As a ploy to deceive
Make voters succumb

People believed
The things they were told
All the falsehoods and lies
Country-wide that took hold

The bright shining YES
Swiftly turned in its tracks
And became a big NO
Towards helping the Blacks

Indigenous folk will now
Have to try
To again make a plea
So their kinfolk don't die

But to really succeed
They'll need our support
To allow the real truth
To finally be heard!

Not sure who of our leaders
Are up to the task
To be even-handed
For all is a must

Whatever our differences
Forget our divide
Together lets stand
One nation with pride.

Foxy believes the majority of Australians have been deceived, by voting to make no changes to the constitution.

The booth I was on yesterday the YES campaigners had a sign saying "Nothing to FEAR" Vote with your heart, which immediately raised questions, was there something to fear.

My mantra was "Do not divide Australia by race, Vote NO!" We are a multicultural society and one family, with equal rights. We had one Yes woman Voter place a curse on us as evil that must be destroyed. Pointing the bones are a primitive witch culture that she assumed had the power of death over us.

I wouldn't put another down for having unfounded superstitions, if I was you, Christianity, to which you claim to be an adherent, is full of unfounded superstitions, strange "mysteries" and unsubstantiated nonsense. Remove those unfounded superstitions, strange "mysteries", and unsubstantiated nonsense, and the Bible would be a very thin book indeed. I'm sure you are contented in your ignorance.

Its interesting to listen to rather intelligent people (Christians) when confronted with some totally ridiculous passage from the Bible. These "intelligent" people invent some cockamamie nonsense to rationalise this ridiculous rubbish, I call it "Blessed are the Cheesemakers"...."Witch cover all manufacturers of dairy products" (Life Of Brian).

I still am optimistic that all this can be sorted out.
That we have to listen to each other and find a way
to negotiate so that a mutually agreed result could be
achieved. I'm not sure who it was on TV last night - but
someone pointed out that people are starting to make
progress at the state level. I know that Victoria is.
So perhaps this will happen at the state level first and
eventually to the federal level. Who knows?

Anyway - the fact is - we now have the issue of Indigenous
problems brought out into the open and perhaps something
will come out of all this.

One can only hope. And with hope, perhaps action will
follow.

It needs a Royal Commission into where the monies allocated for aboriginal programs is going, because it is not getting to the disadvantaged. Linda Burney must go as she is incompetent in dealing with aboriginal affairs. She earns $400,000 for her Ministry to aboriginals, and nothing changes for the disadvantaged aboriginals.

The next issue will be treaty between Australians, again in an attempt to divide this country by race [a drop of aboriginal genetic blood]. We are all Australians with equality of position, but there are some who cannot accept the decision of 1967, and want their own Nation to separate from the laws and Government of the elected Westminster Government.
