@HAEScoach @TracyWesterman This is the whole problem with the No campaign. Shaming anyone who dares to have an alternate opinion. People are fed up with being told what to do and think, having lived through the recent pandemic fiasco. Open debate, instead of name calling could have got it over the line.
@supermario200@daveknox1@TracyWesterman This is not an election. You can’t propose, or vote on, an alternate proposal. That’s why it was important for the only proposal to be strong. It wasn’t. Too vague, in an era of low government trust. A supposed ‘transparent’ government that won’t even front a senate enquiry.
@CollingwoodFC Genuine question. Do organisations consult all members + employees before making a broad statement on behalf of them? Would love these statements to include something like “we support the democratic process and the right of individuals in our organisation to vote as they see fit”
@Pherdpherphle@jacksonmoon@yes23au Technically correct. But, the government could have made public the ‘planned’ legislation that would have followed a Yes result. To give people an idea of what voting Yes would mean in practical terms. The blank cheque angle clearly hasn’t worked with political trust so low.
@bishiboo2@Coconutdog1960@yes23au Correct, but the smart thing to do would have been to release the proposed legislation so people at least have some idea, even if not set in stone, what they’re voting for.
@GrumpyOldeDude @yes23au If there’s no change to the constitution, there’s no mandate to legislate it afterward either. Albo should have started with legislation and, if it worked as expected, gone down the constitution path second.
@yes23au Will all of the money and resources being used currently to fund these ‘mistakes’ be abolished if Yes gets up? If it’s a clean sheet approach, I’m more inclined to vote for it. If it’ll just be throwing good money (and resources) after bad, then no thanks.
@slsandpet@Alisonisnta Will all of the existing Indigenous efforts (money and resources), that the government and the broader ‘Yes’ campaign keep telling us aren’t working, be abolished in lieu of a new ‘Voice’ strategy to improving Indigenous lives? #genuinequestion
@graemeBobbyboy@PRGuy17 I agree when it comes to voting. Has to be accountability when it comes to promises made in the lead up to any election. Go back and see what was promised before the last national and Vic state elections. Same rules should apply there.
