On indulgence. Time to thank everyone for all your kind words and support over the last few months, and though tonight didn’t go our way,we had a bloody good crack. Thanks again. Ian
I'm feeling teary. I look at the water, shadows of trees play over the top. Listening 2 music & from out of the blue feelings erupt. I'm not sad...just feeling whatever is here. Mind you the Beatles song, "In My Life" can raise stuff. Where are all my old lovers, friends? Sigh...
Here's my mum
Mavis Westerman. On her way to see me in Perth to watch the vote count from the Pilbara proudly wearing her Yes shirt on the plane.
"All my life I've heard NO; for once in my life I want to hear YES"

My mother in law was going to campaign for the No vote. After a lengthy phone conversation with me a couple of weeks ago re The Voice, she just messaged me to say she voted YES 👏🥰
💔
Heartbreaking
Disgusting
Absolutely shameful
Devastating
We are a racist country and the world now has definitive proof that we are, we can't deny it and we must all carry the weight of that burden every day for the rest of our lives😢💔
I am so sorry

I consider myself to be a compassionate man who believes all people are entitled to their beliefs. But I have to ask myself, if I were given the chance to throw Peter Dutton into a mouldy dungeon for the rest of his wretched life, would I do it? Ashamed to say I think I would
In 1967 Indigenous Australians were finally counted. In 2023 Indigenous Australians asked to be heard and Australia said no. Tonight’s referendum result is a triumph of lies 😔
We are unwanted in our own country 💔still to this day ‘Australians’ don’t think we belong. They don’t even want to listen to us. How do we even go on?

Asked what he’ll now do for indigenous Australians Peter Dutton said that between now and the next election he’ll take advice from Jacinta Price and then formulate policies. One voice. One. Do you get the irony?
