If you vote "NO" in the #Voice referendum because of some moral high ground even though you support the concept, nobody will care about why you did it. In five, ten, twenty years time, conservative politicians will only say that "Australians don't want it" and dismiss any notion of it getting up again.

It won't matter that you had a niggling concern about a detail, history will only record that you sided with Tony Abbott and George Christensen, and all the very worst of #Australia to deny an #Aboriginal Voice to Parliament.

It won't matter that you supported the concept but not the wording. History won't care, and will only record that "Australia doesn't want that"

I voted "NO" in the republic referendum even though I supported the concept, and look at how that discourse has gone since. The same thing will happen here, mark my words.

Vote "YES" on the Voice to Parliament referendum.

I should say I still think voting no on the #republic #referendum was the right thing to do at the time. It was a poisoned question, but the way the result has been framed by monarchists ever since is quite disgusting. And that's exactly how the #VoiceToParliament referendum results will be framed, should the "NO" vote get up.

#VoteYes
