    That’s not my job, it’s the governments.

    Gotcha, its only your job to advocate against votes, not for them.

    Keep attacking the people you need on your side though, look how well it worked for you for this referendum.

    Weren’t you supposed to be insisting that the “no” vote was a noble, pure of heart endeavour by highly moral people such as yourself?

    Because that sounds a lot like “I will throw people under the bus out of spite unless they’re nicer to me”.

    Actually, not even to you, to groups you’ve decided are you, like the people who flock to discussions on domestic violence and abuse to insist “not all men” because they feel personally attacked by the mere discussion.

    Keep calling people racist and abusing them, they’ll definitely come around.

    You deciding that every comment is about you is not my problem and people not immediately fellating you and your opinions doesn’t constitute “abuse”.

    To me, you’re the conservative one. You’re the one that was happy to just do as little as possible.

    Nothing says “conservative” like staunchly insisting that no gesture towards a minority group, however small, is to be carried out without your rubber stamp of approval.

    Maybe next election, you can work with mining and oil companies to undermine any climate change promises because you don’t think it goes far enough, since it almost certainly won’t.

      I’ve never advocated for people to vote no. People can vote however they want. It’s not my job to make policies for the government. If they want to hire me to do it they know where to find me. I certainly wouldn’t have suggested the referendum they did because it was a loser from day 1. It was too vague and was of questionable benefit at best.

      I never attacked anyone for their vote, unlike the vocal Yes side. A huge portion of the No voters absolutely want more help for indigenous people than the virtue signalling yes voters.

      Who exactly did I throw under the bus?

      If you think that that was me “making every comment about me” then your reading and interpretation skills are sorely lacking. I’m commenting on the common theme of yes voters to call every no voter a racist, and how it is a flawed and stupid strategy that literally never works.

      As for the rest of your comment, it’s just bizarre. Again - greens voter here. Im the one wanting actual change. I’m the person that wanted a full fibre NBN while people like you would go “hell yes I’ll take a nation wide ADSL2 network! That’s better than ADSL and it might one day maybe lead to something better”.

        I’ve never advocated for people to vote no.

        I opened your comment history to see if you were bullshitting, flicked down with my thumb and landed on the sentence “That’s reason to vote against it because it’s pointless”.

        But I’m sure you’re telling the truth about everything else.

        I never attacked anyone for their vote, unlike the vocal Yes side. A huge portion of the No voters absolutely want more help for indigenous people than the virtue signalling yes voters.

        Oh except this bit, where you literally attack yes voters as “virtue signalling” in your very next sentence, then “stupid” shortly after that, the latest in a chain of comments that you started by labelling yes voters as “smug inner city white lefties”.

        Maybe it’s time for you to hop back in your clown car and fuck off.

        I’m commenting on the common theme of yes voters to call every no voter a racist, and how it is a flawed and stupid strategy that literally never works.

        I understand now. You’re upset because a group that you’re negatively generalising negatively generalised you.

        I’m the person that wanted a full fibre NBN while people like you would go “hell yes I’ll take a nation wide ADSL2 network! That’s better than ADSL and it might one day maybe lead to something better”.

        Oh boy you sure picked a shit example since Scott Ludlam publicly read from a submission I contributed to advocating FTTP.

        But regardless, aren’t you supposed to be indignantly insisting you hold the moral high ground because “yes” voters didn’t include every nuance of your opinions as a disclaimer in every conversation they had?

        You can’t even get through a single post, to a single person, without doing exactly the same thing you’re trying to demonise others for.

        And ADSL? That stuff that uses phone lines? Sounds like virtue signalling dial up for stupid idiots to me. Why even bother with anything that isn’t 100gbps to every home and mobile device? That’s the clearly perfect solution and until someone presents it to me, I insist that nobody has anything.

          You’re reaching mate. None of those examples say what you’re claiming they do. Saying something is a reason to vote no isn’t “advocating for people to vote no”. Pointing out the behaviour of people isn’t attacking anyone.

          You might want to take a step back, that was a very upset post lol.
