The Voice Referendum Must Fail Spectacularly. By Peter O’Brien.
The wheels are starting to fall off the billy-cart that is the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum proposal. Recent polling suggests support has fallen below 50 per cent. …
If it falls apart just short of the line, that would hardly be a result that No advocates could applaud. Such a result would generate a ‘we wuz robbed’ reaction and engender screams of racism, appeals to international treaties sand possibly even violence. It would remain a festering sore, and major distraction, in our public discourse for years to come. …
What we want is for No voters to be able to say “I voted No because I did understand it’.
To this end the author has written a book, The Indigenous Voice to Parliament – the No Case.
