Re: Will I Vote In The Referendum?
Announcing One Nation’s campaign to lead the ‘no’ vote in the impending referendum, Senator Hanson declared that the Voice to Parliament would give “a minority of people more political power than the majority based on race”. And as if she would have us believe she was an eager opponent of racism, Senator Hanson then questioned how Australians could possibly contemplate “that sort of thing … known as apartheid” in our country?

It's scary that one of the World's great liberal democracies is proposing this kind of thing in 2023 but there it is

Plenty of indigenous leaders are cringing at the thought of racial exclusivity too.

Indeed - and many indigenous people couldn't give a shit either way. My wife works in the health sector and that's the feedback they're getting from indigenous folk

One of my colleagues, before I left Aus, is from a large aboriginal family, and he said much the same. Most of those he knows either don't care at all, or think its a really bad idea.
