The head of BHP has admitted that the $2 million they donated to the Yes campaign was to keep sweet with 'traditional owners' on whose land they mine.

Self-interest, in other words.

Wasted money that might have made a real difference if BHP was genuine and spent it directly on remote communities.

WTF?

ttbn says:

"Wasted money that might have made a real difference if BHP was genuine and spent it directly on remote communities."

Yet a yes outcome for the Voice vote would have given Indigenous Australians a say in how money could have been spent on remote communities - and it would have been a lot more then $2 million.

You can't make this stuff up if you wanted to.

WTF? - Not Again,
No, because it has been proven for decades now that that doesn't happen. Isn't it about time that people learnt a bit about what's going on ?
ATSIC & NIAA were specifically created to do exactly what the Voice was proposed for & the NIAA is in fact still in place but its way of operating is a different story ! A kind of Voice story !

Indyvidual

There's no point arguing with Fwits who can't face up to being a minority after the routing of the Voice. They will never get over it. They will continue to whine and blame everybody but themselves for musjudging and treating with contempt the still-there silent majority, who are not going to be bullied by them, by Albanese the Trot, by public servants and by big corporations.

The going down of the divisive, racist Voice might be looked back on as the turning point against the left-lunacy that has occurred since Albanese, and before him, the appalling Morrison, who believed in nothing.

If people can bear to tear themselves away from the mainstream media, social media, smart phones, plastic politicians, and all that crap, they will find that the worm is gradually turning.

WTF?

ttbn - nobody on this thread is disputing the result of the referendum - why would they?

ttbn is the one who seems to have trouble moving on - why bother to start a thread about it?

Some people (myself included) voted yes.

Some corporations supported the yes vote (such is the nature of referendums).

Do some people honestly think this was not the case?

But it appears ttbn wants to whinge about that weeks after the result.

After some name-calling he then talks about being treated with contempt and being bullied - as I've pointed out before, a fiction writer couldn't make up a character that demonstrated such a bewildering lack of self-awareness.

As I said. There us no point in arguing with Fwits, and I'm not going to.
