    Make it make sense.

    One was victim to a widespread, American-style disinformation campaign. The other was not. That is the difference.

    Always remember that polling was supportive of a national Indigenous advisory body until the Coalition completely abandoned their historic position of bipartisan support and started bombarding Australian voters with unadulterated lies.

      We need to fucking do something about our media. That’s the problem. Misinformation and propaganda outlets control almost all of the media, and tbh I think News Corp needs to be completely shuttered.

      The No vote will be a terrible outcome for the Indigenous Australians, and the children of colonisers irresponsibly ignored their wishes because of a perceived “risk”.
