Foxy,
The Referendum will be supported, first because of compulsory voting and secondly which ever way it goes it will be supported, it is well to remember that a referendums sole purpose is to ascertain the will of the electorate.
Referendums cannot be won or lost.

Will an Aboriginal Australian with 0.001% of Aboriginal ancestry be eligible to be the Voice?
Is Mise,
That'd defeat the whole purpose !

No voice for this 'Concrete Jungle Bunny', as you like to call me, ah Indy!

Dear Paul,

The news is good.

There is evidence that a constitutionally enshrined Voice
can pass a referendum. A survey of poll data since 2017
conducted by the Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy
Research shows that 75% of voters with a committed
position support the Voice. Also ABC's VoteCompass tells
us that 73% of Australians cupport the Voice.

So there is wide public support and good will for the
Voice to Parliament in both Indigenous
and non-Indigenous communities. This is the key ingredient
for a successful referendum.

"When that gets through which I hope it does, the guilt industry will need to find other excuses to keep the pseudo-Aborigines' snouts in the trough."

More boomers die every year. More young people start voting every year. That is why you will lose
