Speaking at an event in honour of her late father, the activist Charles Perkins, filmmaker Rachel Perkins says it's "depressing" how many people still don't know what the Voice is.
I have commented on this post explaining my issue with how the ‘Yes’ camp are using their own creative interpretation of what words mean to argue that the ‘No’ camp are spreading ‘misinformation’. I’m not interested in having further dialogue on what ‘special’ means, nor ‘race’, nor ‘power’, nor ‘represent’. If you are interested in my thoughts on the matter you may read my other comments here.
I don’t mind taxpayer funds supporting people in need. I do mind taxpayer funds being wasted on a lengthy campaigns and pointless referendums. I am angered that there are so many people struggling to stay in shelter and feed themselves and this is what the government has deemed the priority.
I can’t see myself voting ‘Yes’. I do not agree with inserting (more) race based language into the Constitution and I think it inappropriate to have a body dedicated to supporting a specific race. I will likely vote ‘No’ rather than leave the ballot blank. It looks like the proposal will fail, and it’s my hope that the numbers will be devastating enough that this pointless and divisive issue doesn’t come up again for at least a couple of decades, and our useless representatives can focus their attention on matters of importance.
Who am I kidding… It’s going to be that dumb republic crap next, isn’t it?
