    I think there’s a lot of pieces that led to this. Perhaps more information and presentation of what it means to vote yes.

    Equally the No campaigns were quite awful for done of them and played on the ignorant and fears of people.

    A lot of people were too easily swayed into the no camp for a myriad of reasons I feel.

    I don’t have the answers to it however.

      What I observed was Lidia (as much as I disagree with what she says) voice her opinion in a passionate way on every program that I turned on all I heard from Our Leader was “it’s up to the Australian people. I’m sure they will do the right thing”. Where’s the passion? Where’s the leadership? I’m very disappointed.

        I admit I saw a lot of her on tv, much more than I would have liked to be honest.

        I think Albo could have pushed it a little harder to be honest. I saw various things on the media from other people trying to get the point across but it was varied amoungst a number of people.

        I really hope this doesn’t cause a set back for future generations to come.

        I’m not even sure who that lidia person is. I read the proposed amendment and voted my conscience. That is all. I did not watch tv or listen to radio or read local newspapers or go on social media. I don’t need people to tell me what to think.
