If you’re undecided on an issue you don’t support it.

You should probably just go back to virtue signalling and calling people racist.

The YouGov poll was not “tiny”.

Was that the 732 person one? If it was, it's tiny.

It was of a normal size. What do you find difficult about this concept?

It can be the "normal" size for a poll while also being tiny/small. These things aren't mutually exclusive. Again, words, how do they work?

Neither of these polls reported No at 20%, that is a complete fabrication on your part. Stop lying.

If you're not voting yes you're voting no. If you're undecided and don't vote yes, it's a no. This is embarrassing for you. If you don't vote yes, you're against it even if you are "undecided".

The Ipsos poll reported

Is that the one that was only 300 people? 🤣

You are essentially claiming that every political poll is completely useless because they all have an “absolutely pathetic sample size” according to you.

Most are, yes.

Using a poll of unknown selection criteria and size of 700 people to determine the popularity of an entire population is stupid and should be taken with a grain of salt - like all tiny polls like that. They can say their margin of error is 2% or whatever they want but it doesn't make it true.

Wrong. The No vote was between 10 and 14% across those two polls. That is not “lots”, it is a minority.

If only 80% of them support it, 20% don't. Math, how does it work?

Also a minority can still be "lots" 🤣. Words, how do they work? You're saying that there aren't lots of indigenous people then, since they're a minority, right?

It was already explained to you that a sample size of 732 is more than enough.

You're free to believe that, but I don't. Just because it was "explained to me" it doesn't make it true. I can "explain to you" how the earth is flat, but that doesn't mean it is. A poll of 732 people (that we don't know the selection process/criteria for btw) is not to be taken seriously as being representative of the entire indigenous population. It's an absolutely pathetic sample size.

Again, where is your evidence that “lots of Indigenous people” don’t support the Voice or think it is a useless idea?

By your own favourite poll, 20% don't support it. 20% of the population is "lots".

Because it’s 700 people.

So much wrong here lol.

Just because the people doing the study claim a tiny margin of error doesn’t mean they’re right. I didn’t claim 5 million either, I said that as the post I responded to said 20% of our population, which equals about 5 million. I was responding to what was written.

A poll of 700 people, with no details on how they were selected or who made up the 700 people, can not be used to say 80% of all indigenous people support it 😂.

You’re going off the rails mate lol. Calm down and stop making things up that have only happened in your head.

Yeah, and I’m shocked you’re actually asking for a source on that because that’s ridiculous.

The source you’re quoting was a poll of 700 indigenous people 😂

[–] Whirlybird@aussie.zone -2 points 2 years ago (33 children)

You think I need a source to say lots of indigenous people are voting no? 😂

[–] Whirlybird@aussie.zone -1 points 2 years ago (35 children)

What claim? What deflection?

You’re just calling me racist and claiming my feelings are hurt, literally proving my point.

All polling suggests

Ah yes, the infamous “over 80% support it” based on a poll of 700 indigenous people 😂.

I’m assuming you’re the same person that said I had “hurt feelings” like this last time? My feelings aren’t hurt at all, though I have to wonder about yours considering how upset you seem to be getting. I’m stating facts - a big part of the yes supporters tactics are just say that anyone who doesn’t vote yes is racist. I’m sure you’ve done it plenty of times already, since you just did it to me 😂

The way you’re just making stuff up to try and attack me is exactly what I’m saying. You just try and bully people into your beliefs. Like I said, when you do that you shouldn’t expect people to side with you, but to turn even more against you. That’s how it has worked all throughout history.

you’re the one yelling about windows on mobile platforms and it is the best shit ever.

I'm not though. I'm explaining the reasons why the meme is shit.

we are leaving this to Parliament so that the voice can change according to need and times.

Should there ever be a need or a time when the Indigenous voice isn't entirely made up of indigenous people? If not, why not protect that in the constitution?
