      It’s pretty horrifying, makes me worry that the average Australian is exactly the kind of person I suspected.

        I’m ashamed to say I still had some hope for this country before the Voice vote.

        Did you know there was a progressive No campaign? The only sensible position limped over the line with majority help from racists, I’m fucking done … not like I can afford to live here any more anyway.

          Me either. 9 years ago I moved my family here from the US (I’m Aussie born), and I’ve been dirt poor ever since. But I don’t even know where the hell else we’d go.
