Nationally, a study by Yale researchers determined that “the excess [COVID] death rate among Republican voters was 43% higher than the excess death rate among Democratic voters.”
They are literally being deceived to death.

First and foremost, I’ll be voting yes.
The problem with our referendum is that it appears to burn a lot of political capital for the sake of gesture politics that is unlikely to change anything of substance. The voice has no teeth and almost everything about it will be determined by the courts at the time.
Now, it’s better than nothing, and I don’t expect it’ll come at the expense of the lack of better alternatives on the horizon, but it’s frustrating we can’t do something more meaningful.
A reminder: it’s what the First Nation Council asked for. It’s a decade of work that has been approved and agreed upon by everyone involved.
That is, what you’re complaining about are features, not bugs.
Edit: also, for it to have teeth in the future, Australia needs to get more Greens or other suitable 3rd parties into power which support The Voice.
While hopefully Australia will get The Voice, which will mean it won’t be able to be easily removed - what’s important (as always) is voting for the future of Australia and not coal.
Exactly. A voice shouldnt have teeth either, but id like it to have some reasonable powers of compelling testimony as well as an ability to formally ask for records but that’s just me personally.
Vote yes!!
