The Pacific’s top diplomat says Australia’s credibility in the region will be bolstered if the nation votes in favour of the Indigenous Voice to Parliament on October 14.
Hey, just a little nudge, if you’re keen to chat about the Voice to Parliament, we’ve got this corker of a megathread where we can all have a good chinwag in one spot. But if you’re not up for that, no worries, it’s business as usual. Gotta keep things fair dinkum!
I’m honestly surprised that the Coalition’s China hawks haven’t been more vocal about this publicly, and I’d be very interested to know how this is being discussed behind closed doors.
A no vote should it eventuate is going to be a regional geopolitical hindrance.
Internal politics trumps external. The LNP is the party that deftly negotiated extensive trade sanctions against Australia for no apparent reason other than wanting to appear tough for 5 minutes with brain dead sound bites for the daily news.
Nothing they do has to be consistent just scream No to everything and throw shit at the wall hoping to get everything dirty so the electorate doesn’t know which way is up.
