Has anyone at all stated anywhere on this forum that they will be voting yes? I wonder if Buzz intended his thread title to be ironic.
I have and I will be. I am not afraid of the boogeyman. You suppressors can have it all to yourself.
Well, of course in a democracy that's your prerogative,
and I don't have any problems with your YES vote.
One of my concerns is that were a YES vote to succeed,
them we're effectively introducing inviolable wording
into our Constitution based
solely on race.
It would forever divide us constitutionally into two
Australian races—one a group of people of common
ancestry, and another, an aggregated group of people
of disparate ancestries. Or, if you like, a "them and
us" mindset, or an indigenous group and a non-
indigenous group. Whatever... it's divisive.
Even the current debate FFS about the Voice has proved
to be divisive, and inflammatory and accusatory.
—What's that augur for the actual Voice in the unlikely
event it becomes part of our Constitution?
