@lesstenny Australia is damaged. Dutton cannot be damaged, he is proud of who he is and what he does and seems to be depressingly successful.

@DrVicFielding @senbmckenzie A lot of talking the talk, don’t see much walking though. McKenzie talking about respect?

@Anthonywodillon @Briggs I doubt I could offer you any reasons that you have not already heard. Simply put, the best reason for voting yes is that a genuinely consultative Voice will improve government policy decision making.

[Jeremy Smyth @firstdrop66]

@Anthonywodillon @Briggs Very good. Given you’re position at the Australian Catholic University I was just drawing parallels to faith seemingly having very little to do with the head.

[Jeremy Smyth @firstdrop66]

@Anthonywodillon @Briggs Your statement as to why you will be voting no is probably where I disagree with you most. It seems an easy argument to say no to anything that hasn’t proven itself before it’s given that opportunity to do so.

[Jeremy Smyth @firstdrop66]

@Briggs @Anthonywodillon And how would you define faith, Anthony?

A bit of heart never goes astray, sadly lacking in some. I’m quite confident I have listened to many people smarter than me to also inform my head to vote yes.

[Jeremy Smyth @firstdrop66]

@Schwartziris @JaneCaro We are obviously on different sides of this, happy to have had a respectful conversation with you.

[Jeremy Smyth @firstdrop66]

@Schwartziris @JaneCaro Yes, that Noel Pearson. Knew you would reference this.

[Jeremy Smyth @firstdrop66]

@marquelawyers @JaneCaro Genuine question, given the presumption of innocence, wouldn’t a better change be that no one is named for any crime until they are convicted?

@rohan_connolly @YouTube Love your passion Rohan!

[Jeremy Smyth @firstdrop66]

@FL480 @GillianannF @JaneCaro I think it is simple if you disregard the BS. What is complicated about a consultative body? Governments should consult and the Voice would ensure that our First Nations people are consulted. Simples!

[Jeremy Smyth @firstdrop66]

@GillianannF @JaneCaro The politicisation has so much to answer for. Imagine how different things would have been with bipartisan support.

[Jeremy Smyth @firstdrop66]

@rohan_connolly Nice one.

[Jeremy Smyth @firstdrop66]

@JaneCaro It should be illegal to spam text people and to not allow replies.

[Jeremy Smyth @firstdrop66]

@JohnSmi32437046 @JaneCaro The Voice would be a consultative body, the elected government would determine how it operates. This referendum would not insert an undemocratic body into government as you initially stated.

[Jeremy Smyth @firstdrop66]

@JohnSmi32437046 @JaneCaro Broad statement that is not true.

[Jeremy Smyth @firstdrop66]

@abcnews Why headline the no voter, the article interviewed people both for and against?
