The answer is money. They are comfortably off and no matter what life is like for the rest of the country the people in those electorates have enough to withstand any misfortunes.

Some of that dosh better be in panels, batteries and generators because if there’s no power money won’t help unless you burn it. Go turtle!

Some Abbo ( part) uni professor Chelsea Watago being paid 6 figures from white colonisers goes on a rant about how if anything the in- voice wasn’t ambitious enough.

The awful spectre of needs based funding is then brought up by the next 2 panelists as a better solution than collective group munni….

Thanks to Jacinta and Warren, who suffered deeply personal attacks.

Respects the Yes voters, but a bad idea to divide Australia by race.

Albo may’ve been pissed (as he sounded to be) but Dutton is sharp and serious.

It’s obvious that there’s a huge number of voters that are cautious about change, conservatism means change through evolution not revolution, when will the utterly useless Libs realise this and get policies that will fulfill that want in the electorate? They could be in power everywhere if they weren’t leftists in disguise.

An RC into child sexual abuse into indig communities. Boosting law (normal, not traditional) and order, housing, school attendance and so on. Hidden text – where has the money gone?

Thanked all Australians, even those who went Yes. Greatest country in the world, etc.

It’s a great win, but there is an issue here.

The Liars brought on the ref obviously because they thought they could win. Over 40% of the population actually said Yes. Think about that. 40% plus wanted to screw over the country. That’s a big swag of the population.

Which gives us a hyper-extreme left?

The Voice was a bit like the Bidens’ Ukraine war.

I think it was hubris more than anything. They thought their time had come with Albo’s win last year but they will find that it just woke everybody up and now they want to know what is done with those $40B each year. I believe the activists and the aboriginal industry will regret the whole thing and wish they never started the whole Ulu?u Statement thing. If they let sleeping dogs lie they could have gone on for decades.
