“O WHY DID THE YES CAMPAIGN LOSE THE REFERENDUM?
- The Federal Government neglects the cost of living while spending nearly $454 million dollars on a referendum
- Western Australia’s terrible Aboriginal heritage laws (recently scrapped)
- Lack of details
- Messy messaging. For example like how many pages was the Uluṟu Statement or if the voice was leading to treaty or not?
- Expensive (Referendum, representatives and commissions etc) Nearly $454 million spent could have helped with housing, clean drinking water and healthcare for Aboriginal people in regional and rural areas.
- Bureaucracy and litigation loophole
- Arrogance from activist elites like Thomas Mayo, Marcia Langton, Noel Pearson and Yvonne Weldon.
- Most people are sick of the over-the-top welcome to the country, renaming of places, a push to move Australia Day and ‘post-colonialism’ rubbish
- This referendum and recent polls showed that Yes’s campaign statement of 80% of Aboriginal people in favour of the voice was incorrect. (That poll was of 800 Aboriginal people and did not include any from remote areas)
The Yes campaign needs to take responsibility for its failure
The Government needs to hold a royal commission into child abuse in remote communities and an audit into waste
Thank you Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, Warren Mundin, Kerrynne Liddle, Anthony Dillon and others for fighting for their Aboriginal people and for fighting for Australia as a whole.”
