It is now up to the progressive No campaigners, and their racist peers, to explain what they are going to do to close the gap and enable Indigenous Australians to participate in Australian society without entrenched disadvantage.
If you don't know, look at the company you'll be keeping. Even if you yourself are not one of them.
#No23#VoteNo has all the racists, cookers, white nationalists, and conspiracy theorists. They outright lied time and time again. They quoted (and selectively misquoted) people repeatedly without that persons authorisation for their statement to be used by their campaign.
#Yes23#VoteYes has 80% of the Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people.
Jeremy Walker: “exposing the oil-founded #AtlasNetwork's Australian branch as the origin and mass communication infrastructure of the #VoteNo campaign to deny First Nations a #VoiceToParliament. The story so far:”
Ray Martin on the #VoteNo campaign's slogan "If you don't know vote no":
"What that excellent slogan is saying, is if you’re a dinosaur or a d***khead who can’t be bothered reading, then vote No."
The #ABC's Michael Rowland sides with the dickheads.
Louis Clegg is just gaslighting in this interview.
Entrenching The Voice in the constitution for one small group of people is not just any group it’s the original inhabitants of the last 65,000 years!
She makes the point why The Voice is actually necessary in the the constitution, as current laws for protective measures against discrimination “can be tinkered with so when the balance gets out of whack parliaments can change them” That is, they’re subject to political whim
A Proposed Law: to alter the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. Do you approve this proposed alteration?
There’s something to be said for the company you keep. Don’t show me the man, show me his friends

Ugh. This 'Vote yes on #Issue1' commercial featuring the 'Do your own research' qanon nurse airing in the Cincinnati market on Sinclair stations gives me the chills.
BREAKING: With more than 700,000 signatures submitted, the #Ohio Secretary of State announced that a constitutional amendment to protect reproductive freedom has enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot this fall.
We have a right to #abortion care and we will vote for it.
@waitnwallflower#VoteForward has a massive letter-writing campaign to encourage #Ohio voters to #VoteNo on Issue 1 in the 8/8 special election. (This is related to making it harder for the #abortion ballot initiative to pass in November.) I'm writing letters from #NewJersey -- all, please write a few if you can, or share widely: https://votefwd.org/
