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.
Anecdotes is all we have. You never saw yes advertising, I never saw no advertising.
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”.
There’s that arrogant stupidity I mentioned :)
Cool sounds good. Pitch it to the “no” vote groups. They spent millions of dollars pushing the no vote, so if you’re correct about their motivations, I’m sure they’ll be eager to support it and shake off any accusations they might have just astro-turfed over bigotry.
Or is this more of a Liberal Party election promise kind of thing?
That's not my job, it's the governments. They thought this "voice" would be a better idea than mine, which goes to show you their motivations - virtue signalling. They don't want real change, they just want to keep lining their own pockets without doing anything to help indigenous people.
FYI I've literally never voted LNP. Likely never will. I've voted for the greens more than I've voted for Labor in the last 20 years. Good try on making me out to be a stuck in the mud LNP voter though. Keep attacking the people you need on your side though, look how well it worked for you for this referendum. Keep calling people racist and abusing them, they'll definitely come around. We all know that's the way to change peoples minds.
To me, you're the conservative one. You're the one that was happy to just do as little as possible.
I didn't see a single No ad on television. Yes ads were everywhere though, all over tv (murdoch channels included) and even youtube.
Okay, what’s your solution that isn’t “virtue signalling nothing-sauce”? It wouldn’t happen to be “do nothing” would it?
No, it wouldn't. Make an indigenous government board and give them protected senate seats, like 10 of them so they have actual real power. Have them handle all indigenous related government projects, and fund them to be able to make real change. Actually give them the power and money to make change, not just give them a "seat at the table" but then no power to be able to do anything at the table other than be ignored until they all quit. How does that sound?
Most people don't want nothing done, but they don't want to do something that the best thing even the most ardent supporters can say for it is "maybe, maybe, it might lead to something good one day?". If we're going to change the constitution, something that happens very very rarely, let's actually add something worthwhile into it!
A standard that’s apparently very important to people who can’t name a single thing that’s actually in the constitution.
What are you basing this on?
What rubbish. The voice was a virtue signalling nothing-sauce for indigenous people. It was so inner city white lefties can feel smug about themselves for beating racism while not actually doing anything of meaning.
The standard is “not putting useless shit in the constitution”.
Senate seats. A government department with funding and actual powers for decision making on indigenous issues. That would be a start, and a much better one than another voice to be ignored.
Typical far left way of thinking. Call the people that you want to vote for your ideologies and ideas more hateful words, I’m sure it’ll definitely work for you this time.
You guys are so arrogantly stupid you can’t even figure out the real reason why you lost.
You yes voters just can’t help but keep trying to make everyone think that you’re so much smarter than us no voters can you? 😂
I know how it works, which is why I think attempting to make a Constitutionally protected advisory group is stupid.
Labor didn’t even put out a “if this succeeds this is what we will do and this is what the voice will look like”. Something as simple as that would have made a world of difference.
I’m happy you won’t respond anymore, I’ve had enough smug virtue signalling.
Artists don’t generally make money from music sales unless they self publish. Spotify gets the music out there and heard so people discover bands and go see them in concert and buy merch, which is where bands make their money.
It’s crazy that it’s 2023 and people still don’t understand this.
