IlandarThe Indigenous Voice to Parliament – separating fact from fiction | 7.30
Will people in the Northern Territory have their vote counted as if it were a state or just to the total national amount?
Am I the only one here who thinks they could’ve made actual change if they became a state (more senators, can contribute to a referendum)?
The voice is very close to a lobby group’s position in Canberra. I can’t remember when Indigenous issues were in the top 3 most important during an election, so what’s stopping the government by just ignoring them?

National count only.

Possibly, but then we’d have a state with less population than Hobart which raises it’s own issues.

Nothing, but that’s kind of the point.
