My AI chatbot says 60% of Australians oppose recognising Aboriginal people in the constitution, despite benefiting from their land. This glaring, systemic injustice remains entrenched.

“Advance” scammers and manipulators.

“The entire premise of the “No” campaign against the Indigenous Voice to parliament was a sham.

“Not only was its murky network of half-a-dozen entities “run” from a fake national headquarters — by directors stating fake residential addresses — it was also a fake “grassroots campaign” of fake “ordinary Australians”.”

🚨WARNING🚨If you're in Melbourne and voting in Dunkley today you've probably seen ads from an entity "Advance" claiming to be a "grassroots movement" of "ordinary Aussies". It's not, it's a US-style front peddling lies bankrolled by a handful of the super-rich. Beware. And please share. https://theklaxon.com.au/white-mans-dark-money-meet-the-bankrollers/

@Nazani I was in Australia during the summer while they were having the #VoiceReferendum (token gesture to #indigenous people) & I got really interested in indigenous politics & history (in no small part thanks to digital resources like https://www.creativespirits.info/ & Gary Foley's https://kooriweb.org website). Uranium, mineral, coal mining, etc. crash headlong into the demands of indigenous rights movements. Worldwide it's the same - indigenous ppl are custodians of ecosystems & wild nature

Reflections on the Voice Referendum

The dust has begun to settle after Australia’s contentious Voice Referendum, but amid the accusations of bad faith and ignorance, how many people on either side bothered to read or understand the report which laid out how the Voice would have worked, and the problems it raised or failed to address? #VoiceReferendum

With the defeat of the #voicereferendum, the racists have been emboldened, and are continuing their crusade against indigenous people with the assistance of the Liberal Party. #auspol https://blotreport.com/2023/10/22/racists-emboldened/

THE BLOT REPORT
As depressing as the result was, plotting out polling place yes ratios shows a definite clustering. I've used the ABC colour scale, and made point size representative of number of votes. #voicereferendum #auspol #mapping [redo with Canberra labelled properly]
