Minorities always make the most noise in the media and social media. They made the most noise in the lead up to the referendum - and look how well that went for them. The silent majority is still coming out on top.

Dutton was always going to oppose any referendum Albanese
proposed. There is nothing that the Prime Minister could
have proposed that would have drawn Coalition support. There
was always a NO campaign ready and waiting for anything
relating to First Nations people funded by mining magnates,
and wealthy right-wingers and fueled by malignant people
online.

So the myths and accusations that had Albanese been a better
campaigner, had proposed a different question, or had
delayed the referendum, or had been less (or more) ambitious,
or somehow done something different the result would have been
different.

The YES campaign is now targeted as being
ineffectual. That if a smarter targeted campaign
had been run - it could
have defeated all the forms of intolerance,
and misinformation
that fueled the NO campaign.

Something will always be confected.

What happens next will be interesting.

"The Coronal inquest into the mosque terror attack has started in Christchurch - with a powerful and harrowing video tribute to the 51 men, women and children murdered as they gathered to pray in March 2019."

I'm sure there will be great interest from some into the actions of the far right nutter Brenton Tarrant, he has his extremist supporters in this world. Some no doubt want the fanatical Zionist to do a "Tarrant" on the innocent people of Gaza.

Dear Paul,

I don't think anyone in their right mind would want
harm to be caused to either the people of Israel
or the Palestinian people in Gaza and elsewhere.
The whole world is watching this conflict at its
current worst. None of us want it to worsen even
further.

I have friends in Israel and Jewish friends here
in Australia. I also have Muslim friends here in
Melbourne. Neither of these groups that I've
spoken to recently want this conflict to continue.
They would like to see peace come to the region
and have people living as human beings side by side.

Unfortunately, this is not about to happen anytime
soon under either the current Israeli leadership,
or while Hamas controls everything in Gaza.

The only influencer could be the US. The balls in their
court.

Hi Foxy,

We can't sugar coat this!

"I don't think anyone in their right mind would want harm to be caused to either the people of Israel or the Palestinian people" The operative words are "in their right mind", as clearly demonstrated by several pro Zionists, they are delighted at the thought of thousands of dead Palestinians in Gaza. To them they are nothing more than subhuman, and hated Muslims.

It is unfolding before our very eyes, the denial of humanitarian aid to 2.3 million innocent people in Gaza, thousands dead, innocent women and children, will be the end result. This is developing into another "Warsaw Ghetto" situation, except this time the Jews are the Nazi's.

Hi Foxy,

"There will now be a great deal of finger-pointing and
soul searching as to what went wrong - or in some cases -
what went right."

Well that'd be a complete waste of time, considering a significant enough number of indigenous voted 'NO', surely enough to make a valid argument that the indigenous themselves were not even united in their choice.
That says: 'The government failed to sell it's idea on it's own merits'.
- Any other argument one tries to make is inconsequential.
