Nationally 59:41. Only ACT voted yes (unintentional hilarity).
WA called as no by a deflated Mr Green.

Buona notte gatti e gattina – enjoy the rest of the evening. Today was a beautiful day, The Everest was run, the referendum was defeated by the good and great people of Australia and the Ineptocrat-in-Chief and his sidekicks have been righteously rogered by the red hot poker of NO by a savvy, suspicious electorate. And the cancerous filth in New Zealand has been surgically excised. Great day all ’round
Once again Credlin versus Kenny with Chrisie boy being a jerk. He hates being put right.
What the opposition leader is now going to do? He’s the opposition leader, you daft old fart!
I have to say, I’ve been impressed by Littleproud.
We are strong, resilient & deadly.
At least they’re not Grampian nasties.
I like Dutton. He’s a nice guy who just made an excellent speech.
Credlin slaying Kenny on Sky.
I think Chris Kenny should reconsider saying anything any more on that Sky panel. Peta Credlin had to ask him yet again to be quiet.
I miss those Monday nights.
Julian Leeser should resign from parliament tomorrow
The effwittery has commenced on my FB feed.
I can’t believe how delusional so many white middle class people can be !
Okay, let’s not over-egg the quiche.
She’s not a quiche she is the full menu of caviar, truffles, hot stone cooked Kobe sirloin, chips dipped in Dom Pérignon Champagne, triple-cooked in pure goose fat and coated with gold flecks followed by Italian cassata made with Bailey’s Irish cream liquor and lashings of King Island triple cream.
Music to my ears!
Clean sweep of the states, territories do not matter in this context therefore the ACT is inconsequential.
Total losers. The thing about being the opposition is that they don’t run things. You don’t look to them to make the next move.
Crikey. Blokes like this probably wanted to be on the Voice. We dodged a bullet.
I want the Conservatives to win in Poland tomorrow.
Same old bullsh!t.

“I promised to piss your money up against the wall and I kept that that promise. I aimed high but ended up pissing on my own shoes and I now ask you to walk a mile in those shoes.”

Queensland winning on 67 no. I thought 60 no some weeks ago, but very happy with the extra votes.
Voting age daughter was always a no, but had a bunch of mates join her, to her surprise.
. praying for that too Cassie
WA is not as No as I’d like to see. Hopefully the western suburbs (think eastern suburbs, easterners) and inner city seats are reporting early. We can’t have SA beating us!
One of the most bizarre claims from the Yes people is that the Voice would have solved rheumatoid heart disease in remote communities. This ivory tower Aboriginal academic just pushed this strange assertion again.
Sydney academic going on about colonisation.
The single malt has done its work and I’m signing off. It’s been a great day. Thanks for your company, fellow Cats.
Apologies to the mentals..

Started out, just thinking’ queer
I didn’t know how or why or what I was doin’ there
Just a couple of elections,made me feel a little better
Believe me when I tell you, it was nothin’ to do with the leader
Ran right out of ideas, I took a look into my own farter
No Tones, nothin’, I’d better go and get something harder
Back in a flash, I started on a dash of Referendum
Me and Pat Malone, thinkin’ on our own
Whoa-oh, the Trots are gettin’ bitter
Whoa-yeah, the Trots are gettin’ bitter
Whoa-oh, the Trots are gettin’ bittrer
Yeah, mm, they’re gettin’ bitter
Sometimes I wonder what all these leftisms are doin’ to my brain
It doesn’t worry me enough to stop me from doin’ it again
Wiping out brain cells by the million, but I don’t care
It doesn’t worry me even though I ain’t got a lot to spare
Whoa-oh, the Trots are gettin’ bitter
Whoa-yeah, the Trots are gettin’ bitter
Whoa-oh, the Trots are gettin’ bitter
Yeah, mm, they’re gettin’ bitter
Julian Leeser should resign from parliament tomorrow”
Yep
You do have the gift. Albo should have hired you as his speech writer.
Even Victoria voted NO.
Oh the schadenfreude.
Funny how they could jab Aboriginals for Covid but not for the heart disease that would apparently save them.
I suppose it makes sense in a way seeing that Perth population is almost 2 million while the regions are only about 800,000.
You could sharpen an axe on that ABC woman’s face. Her lips are so pinched they’re about to be sucked into the centre of her head.
Have drunk a lot tonight Cats. Am a bit drunk. It’s been a tough week.
Every seat in South Australia is going to be No. Currently only Yes seat is Adelaide which is on 50.09 Yes, but after prepolls I would guess even that will flip to No.
Thank you all Cats who manned pre-poll and polling day booths for the No campaign. It’s a bit of a slog sometimes, but please hear that we applaud you. I took the much easier option of $$$$ donation to the campaign.
Eine kleine nachtmusik
Yes, this is true.
Just passing by Milan.
Great news – just the overall margin to finalise.
Collards were one of the families who launched legal action claiming that the State had no authority to remove their nine children, and claiming substantial damages – the action was dismissed entirely, as the court found those children were neglected.
It’s all over. Great result. And always up for some top quality ABC salt.
Some Aboriginal children, in outback communities in Western Australia have English as a third language.
It’s a privilege you have earned, Cassie. “Sliante!”
Well that is that then.
Thank F for that.
It was gracious of Anthony Dillon to defend Chris Kenny against social media attacks, I think this means us, but it was useless.
Millions of white kids don’t speak it either.
Jacinta Price is my hero.
“Credlin slaying Kenny on Sky.”
Boy meets girl on who got to the sandpit first.
Even though I liked what Price and Dutton said, they’re also clogged up too with the funneling money caper. Even though they’re pushing for an audit, the money funnel won’t stop as it just gets redirected and ends up being corrupted again. These people need to get the hell out of these remote areas and make a living by working – just like all Australians. There has to be an exit from these hellholes.
Landslide disaster for Labour Marxist trash.
For you much more than the rest of us.
I also have consumed quite a few bubbles and now off to bed.
Next up, Mr Dutton: net zero. Dump it.
Explain, CL.
You mean proficiency?
The “Yes Vote” was doomed from the start amongst Aboriginal communities. There are over 250 Mobs in Australia and even more Clans (some Mobs have upwards of 7 clans).
“The Voice” proposed 20 delegates. Do the math. They knew what was coming. Larger mobs soaking up the resources, and doling out the spoils to their “preferred” relatives.
Meanwhile, it’s the inner city Liberals patting themselves on the back for being compassionate and caring. “Yeah”, we voted “Yes”, everyone else is racist.
Labor take note.
The bush are up and about and really pissed off.
Alcosleazy needs to go.
Sadly, no celebrities vowed to move north to PNG if we voted NO. (That would have been nasty of us to subject our neighbours to such punishment anyway).
Have drunk a lot tonight Cats. Am a bit drunk. It’s been a tough week.
Kosher Woodstock’s?
Vote NO to Albanese is an election slogan that writes itself.
QLD has shown it will be our Florida. Just need to get rid the Marxists and never let them back in.
If it wasn’t for Kamahl, the vote would have been Yes, tonight. I’m convinced.
Albos speech was aimed at those who might think it is time for them to have a shot – like Bill Shitten – SLF. He was trying to preserve his ass.
All those business ‘leaders’ should learn their place and shut the f*ck up from now on.
Kamalmentum won the day JC.

Sleazy is on the Green Mile. He’s sharting his pants.
Once the country voted overwhelmingly to not enshrine an Indigenous voice to parliament on Saturday night, social media accounts of some of the most famous, popular and high profile supporters did not offer an immediate post mortem on the result.
Instead many, including activist Grace Tame, have shared helpline and support details for those who may be struggling to process the result.”
Oh, the schadenfreude.
I know Mole. 🙂
Rubbish! You’re still posting coherently, so at most you might be a little tipsy.

Mundine absolutely exploding! Yikes. Giving the J’ismists a serve.
Call in the Councillors , our bwave First XI are devoed.
I can honestly say I have a schadenboner* at this referendum result.
Which glorious Cat coined that term? Was it JC? Maybe Rabz?
*And I don’t even have a penis.
Warren Mundine just cracked it with the Media’s inane questions on sky. As in really cracked it. Told them to pull their heads in and hold the politicians to account, as Aborigines in remote communities are getting raped and committing suicide.
Price and Mundine ushered off stage at the end of it.
This is what’s needed. A bit of agro at the shit state of affairs perpetuated by the MSM and elites.
Many years ago, in the early 90s, in Woollahra, I lived in an apartment under Russell Crowe. I’d see him on the stairs and I’d wish I wasn’t just “living under him”. He was really handsome, with a divine deep voice (I like men with manly voices). But now, he’s just a PC wimp, a dolt, a cult adherent, no different to Tom Cruise in Scientology, someone who refuses to think outside the box.
I no longer fantasise about being “under him”.
I was a scrutineer in Rosebery, Braddon, Tas. Out of 314 ballot papers:-
No: 224
Yes: 85
Informal: 5*.
*two of these supposedly invalid papers will eventually be counted with the legitimate “no” votes since the only problem was that an AEC worker had forgotten to initial the papers. Of the three other papers, one was marked “bullshit” with nothing written within the box and the other two were featured no writing whatsoever. Only three invalid votes out of 314 is, I submit, quite remarkable.

Albanese read his speech. Used old racist and Australia hater Churchill at the end. Burney read hers, too.
Dutton spoke without notes. But it was Price who outshone them all, speaking off the cuff. An astonishing speech. Never looked down. We have to make her PM.
I have been voting since 1973 (Whitlam was not my fault), and I have never been so relieved as by tonight’s result. I did fear for Australia’s future.

I’m looking at the 7:30pm results and can say I’m proud to be a Queenslander.
Which State will get the bragging rights?
I’m remembering being gravely assured by a certain, prominent activist, that Aboriginal parents, in the 1960’s , weren’t allowed to send their children to school. In the 1960’s I shared a classroom with the Headlands, the Mippy’s, the Colbungs, the Narriers, the offspring of the Noongar clans…..
Cassie of Sydney
It occurred to me Cassie as I chatted to the Barman at the Shakespeare tonight, that this was about a choice between freedom and authoritarianism.
It will be interesting over the next week, as to how it turns out.
WA just smashed through 60%
Please, somebody. Where (i.e. which channel) did Warren Mundine unload at journalists?
Well, darn it, Cassie
You have removed Rusty from my list of rootable men.
Then again, he has let himself go somewhat, physically as well as politically.
Made some great movies but.
Razey,
“WA just smashed through 60%”
Up the WAs!
Im surprised by the resilience against one of the biggest one sided brainwashing attempts (other than covid) in the history of the country. The Marxists must be wondering what went wrong.
I always thought Ace from Ace of Spades HQ coined ‘schadenboner’, at least that’s my memory. It might have been discussed on the old Ace of Spades podcast…
“We are one, we are all equal under the law.”
How I wish this were true. But until the Aboriginal victims of abuse in remote communities who are victimised by other Aboriginals are afforded the same protection under the law, this simply isn’t true.
The soft racism of low (cultural) expectations is truly pernicious.

Flakey internet, so I’m only up to eight o’clock Syd time (it’s afternoon still here). Wouldn’t miss this for quids! Great to be able to follow the process of this vote right through from the nail-biting start, as we are so far in time behind here in Corfu. Thank you for the Cat, Dover, it is the only place to be in times of National elation, and of sorrow. NZ elections are thrilling a couple of New Zealanders here on board too.
The Italians have a word for this Referendum result: FANTASTICO!!
We are Australlians, all. Not divided by race. All equal under the Rule of Law.
The obvious answer is less choice next time. If the serfs cannot be trusted to make the correct choice, they don’t fear us enough.
Australia as a whole just hit 60%
Don’t forget to pop by this commenting site which I’ve jokingly referred to as Munted’s site:
https://www.pollbludger.net/2023/10/14/indigenous-voice-referendum-live/#comments
Where is that old twisted degenerate pervert at anyway?
With Jacinta and Warren on the job, this is now far more likely to change.
They fully understand what needs to be done to bring back the Rule of Law, with no pandering by urban elites to indigenous fantasising.
Ah, here’s the obsequiousness and humility:

No lessons will be learned.
Nothing will change.

Ha!

Tony Abbott has learned nothing. You cannot be a ‘peacemaker’ when the bullets are flying. Wake up to your bloody self.
The early batch of postal votes seem strongly biased No, all were 70%+ No in the 3 divisions I’ve looked at that had over 4% postal votes. If that is maintained for the next week, a national No 63%+ is likely.
e.g.
DistrictId | State | Division | Postal % Yes
196| TAS | Lyons | 26%
233| VIC | Wannon | 25%
135| NSW | New England | 18%
So I tuned in to some of the coverage tonight where the footage showed the votes being tallied, I noticed the as the pile of YES votes being tabbed through that at least 5 of the YES marks in the box were identical- anyone else catch this?

“a chance for newcomers to show a long-refused grace and gratitude, and to acknowledge that the brutal dispossession of our people underwrote their every advantage “ etc…
I’m sure my ancestor arriving in chains aboard HMS Alexander in 1788 knew a bit about brutal dispossession and not much about advantage.
At least he drew a line under it and moved on into his future, as,I hope, all Australians will do now.
Apart from the reparations-seekers, of course. They will never give up.
Warren Mundine interviewed by Patricia Karvelas. Classic.
She’s so angry she’s trembling. She oh so badly wants to spit on him, or slap him. Crikey’s she’s wound up.
So deliciously wonderful to see her in such a state of emotional distress.
Just back in and having a quick scroll back.
Is it fair to say things could of gone better for Luigi this evening?
Warren Mundine is a double traitor.
First he bailed from the Liars.
Now he voted against the Gravy Train.
Regional and remote indigenous Australians have been comprehensively failed by their so-called ‘leaders’ for 4-5 decades at least. Formalising the same policies of cultural and economic slavery under the same financially fat class of elite mediocrities is not the answer. A radical change is necessary. What shape that change must take is not for me to imagine, but a state of static decay is unhealthy for any human.
At the very least, our Filth-Filter media and public institutions need to cease presenting indigenous Australians as two-dimensional caricatures; unworthy of a third dimension that would qualify them as human. Essentially, they are categorised as sub-human; a label that once would have been responded to with revulsion and condemnation. The collars and chains are there, but invisible.
well Albo .. you Tory fighter, you
You have been well and truely beaten and not just by the mythical Tory old enemy.
The Australian people who, in your hubris, you (and all your mates, Alan maaaaate) thought you could bullshyte and cajole into doing what you wanted, rejected you.
Resign, move along and give someone else a go. You’re a little factional fighter and, like Julia Gillard, a good parliamentry performer, but not PM material.
No one in the electorate who voted No, is likely to ever trust anything to you again.
It’s been a night, could I offer all of you another glass of shadenfeude .. for the road perhaps?
ahahahahahaha
This is one of the epic victories.
A Yes campaign awash with cash, backed by the ALP, Greens and half the LNP, supported by all major corporations and sporting codes and given a free pass by the media got belted 60:40.
I’ve never considered rooting Rusty Crowe, & struggle to comprehend how anybody could think him anything but physically repulsive.
That’s the broad church of the Cat for you. Vive le difference.
Emma Alberici however is a very different matter. Not anymore. Just saw a picture of her urging me to vote Yes. (political differences are no obstacle, I’d do AOC in a heartbeat, or would have when she was first elected, she’s rapidly going to seed)
Emma now sports a haircut that’s shorter than some soldiers I’ve seen, & is going to seed in Julie Bishop fashion, though a lot more unattractive.
She may even be transitioning into blokehood.
Salvatore,
Rusty was once a feisty gladiator and also a fine boxer (movie roles, I know) and as we all age and gravity/time can be unkind, he was on my list.
The softcock politics, however, are a bridge too far.

Though the nearest I ever got to seeing him as handsome was when he got arrested in NYC for picking on a telephone in his hotel room.
Other than that, to me he’s always seemed a boofhead. An image he’s done nothing to cause me to change my mind about.
From the AEC website just now:
17,565,728 Australians are enrolled to vote.
5,163,993 voted Yes
7,809,458 voted No
139,967 voted Informal
That leaves a whopping 4,452,310 who didn’t cast a vote.
Is this possible? The only reason I checked is when I skimmed across the No + Yes + Informal number on the AEC website, they didn’t seem to add up to a high enough figure in a country with a population of 26 million.
Lizzie I was on Seadream on a voyage that stopped in Corfu. I got to see where Prince Philip was born. Lovely place.
Three interesting results.
Linda Burney electorate voted No
Julian Leeser electorate voted No
Lingiari covering Alice Springs and Uluru voted No with 57%; held by an Aboriginal Labor MP but also where Jacinta is from.
We are in FNQ this week, and listening to conversation around us at the watering hole tonight at Port Douglas, people are pretty happy with the result. As are we. Camaraderie all around.
No one should be surprised. When issues are fought on policy substance and arguments, the Conservatives generally win the debate. The Voice is a single issue.
When it comes to a “General Election”, it all comes down to advertising dollars and party affiliation.
The Liberals need to take lessons from this victory. Pick an issue that’s “unpopular” and run with it. For example, John Howard and boat people. It’s the chink in Labours armour as they get further driven to the extreme left.
The current situation in the Middle East is a classic example. Labor Governments don’t know which way they want to turn, because they don’t want to “offend” an important constituency in Western Sydney.
“The Voice” proves the fallacy. Stand on your dig. Argue the issue on the facts.
Corfu – a book called ‘Adriatic’ which I am reading, by Robert Kaplan, says it well: “The island of corfu is, and is not, Greece. It has been identified as much with the Adriatic as it has with the archipelagic Greek seaboard. Corfu, in a larger sense, constitutes a register of (and meditation on) European history itself. The real beauty of this island is how it makes you think, in the most profound and analytic way. Vandals, Goths, Byzantines, Slave and Barbary pirates, Normans, Angevins, Catalans, Venetians, Ottomans, Russians, French, British, Germans, and Italians all conquered, reconquered, or raided this Greek island not because of its beauty, but because of its strategic location. It is the Gibralter of the Adriatic.
And before all of that there was an ancient history.
blockquote fail, wrong way round. And still on referendum thread.
Will repost on OT. Apologies, this flakey internet is foul
A tad pissed we didn’t get 70/30 but this little black duck will take 60/40 any day of the week.
Good to see that the No vote was 2-3% higher than I estimated. Hopefully a few myths will be called out now, firstly that 80% of indigenous supported the Yes vote as the results in the outback seats in NSW, Qld, NT, SA and WA indicate that a significant number, if not a majority, voted No. Secondly, the rest of the world couldn’t give a rat’s about our referendum. Just listened to the news on a German radio station and a 17 year old girl winning a french fry cooking contest in Garmisch-Partenkirchen was deemed more newsworthy than our referendum.
I didn’t think about that, the grifting “reconciliation” scam has been settled with the Voice referendum as well.
It’s about being one people one country.
Is it too soon to start wearing a Dinosaur T-Shirt on a regular basis? Perhaps it is.
As far as and dinosaurs and dickheads go we now know who the real dinosaurs and dickheads are — it is the elite class: the ‘never a care’ from the wealthy suburbs, it is the young university-educated who are the dickheads because they have been sucked in and their Marxist, leftist professors and academics who are the dinosaurs still dragging around the now centuries old Marxist bullshit — as for the Marxist catch-cry: workers of the world, unite — well we did and righteously pounded the real racists with a resounding NO.
But, but … the eyes of the world are upon us.

No more WTCs, vows of silence, corporate busybody canings, and the best – rural and suburban Aussies exposing the utter dislocation and bubble existence of the ACT and wealthy, virtue signalling electorates.
A good result.

Which doesn’t matter when nominally conservative leaders blow opportunities like double majorities in Federal Parliament.
The left wing of the ALP and Greens would steamroll us to collectivism given half a chance.
There was a couple of those the fix is inners.
The entire postal vote was going to be replaced with yes while thousands were rushing around doing multivoti.
Those yes campaigners can now get their hands dirty out in rural and remote communities.
Off you go and make good use of your week of blessed silence, showing how you really cared.
This is the last half of a long letter to members from Daniel Wild of the IPA.
They too have done sterling work for the NO case.
Does anyone know how the electorate of Berowra voted in the Referendum, I can’t seem to find it — that is the electorate in which that shit-lipped bald-headed flog Matt Kean has his state electorate. And Bradfield too if someone better at finding these things than I. Thanks
Links to NSW divisional voting here.
I think it is Bradfield 51.6% Yes, Berowra 53% No.
Berowra for the no.
Tinta, Berowra, 47Yes-53No.
Heh. Hunter was 71% No.
All that money thrown at it, so much good it could have done if used wisely.
And my electorate, Paterson, at 70% No, despite the large and very prominent indigenous population.
Browbeating by big corporate worked a treat.
Maybe that’s because of a large and very prominent indigenous population.
Maybe there’s a very strong sense that it’s time aboriginal people took responsibility for themselves.
The opportunities are there.

Any “hand of friendship” apparently will have to come with a confession that you are a stupid racist.

I would never have picked it at the booth.
Must have been the Noel effect.

68.5% No thank you very much.
Thank you rosie, thank you calli, cats rule — thank you so much — and it still looks as though there’s over 20% of the vote to be counted in many electorates. 70/30 may still be a go-er

I lost, do I think the system should change?
No.
Dare I say it, but there were encouraging signs of a sort.
The big corporates tipped in buckets of cash and, with big retailers, there were initial signs that they were planning heavy in-store promotions.
But suddenly the promos over the PA ceased, and plans for signage and staff badges and t-shirts ceased.
3AW ran a story about Dan Murphy’s staff being given Yes t-shirts, which some staff didn’t want, then suddenly it all went away.
There was an initial, feeble “Oh, it’s entirely voluntary*” but then it just flipped to total silence.
The smart ones sniffed the wind.

* Thinking back to the SSM campaign, I can imagine what “voluntary” means. If you are the manager of a store where the majority elect not to go along, expect a passive-aggressive call from HR asking about your various phobias.
Living in the Teal electorate of Kooyong,last figure I saw was 61 Yes.
Josh F made a very smart decision not to reconnect.
Kooyong is lost to the Liberals.
Us old farts in the division of Longman QLD (just north of Brisbane) voted 75% No, with about 68% of the vote counted so far.
Many thanks to those in the public sphere who led the No charge, and a very big thank you to all the No volunteers. The two volunteers I gave a cold XXXX to as I went in to vote yesterday were very appreciative.
Very well done Australia for giving a very big middle finger to the racist ‘elites’, corporations who donated, pathetic universities, and the virtue signalling voters.

Plibbers raking over the coals with Fran.
Doesn’t get it, not a clue.
Reconciliation – used as an accusation
Close the Gap – didn’t need a vote
Bi partisan – offered but rejected by Albo
Uluru Statement – not a holy text
Yes volunteers – sneering snobs
Yes leadership – unpleasant people
Thank you Sancho — I am a proud Australian — real Australians voted NO Fake Australians voted YES
Has anybody considered that the high NO vote in NT and other electorates with large numbers of aboriginal voters may actually have been a vote against the Head Men who own and control everything in traditional aboriginal communities? Could it have been a vote for democracy and against authoritarianism?
From Dot’s ABC link.
Funny, I never heard that when Tassie was busy delivering Green senators.
There was some noise initially that Territories should be given the full status of a state for referenda voting.
No doubt they thought ACT and NT would both be a slam dunk for Yes.
Sky’s Andrew Clennell is making a fool of himself this morning as an ALP yes-man, talking over Michaelia Cash in a premeditatedly hostile interview.
Tick.
Which means Yes.
Oh it’s pathetic.
Fran and Rafe welcoming an indig to the broadcast like he’s suffered a death in the family.
Andrew Clenell is a thin-lipped low IQ numbnuts, I cannot be in the same room as that dickhead.
Early in the piece last night he went with, “Well, Luigi might lose a bit of paint if Yes goes down, but [Dutton, Dutton, Dutton for five minutes]”
Have a look at those electorate numbers I posted at 8:34 and tell me who is shitting bricks this morning?
I’ll tell you who.
It isn’t Dutton.
It is sitting ALP members in a 55% plus No electorate, that’s who.

Some extracts.
Hahaha. Sky New political editor Andrew Clennell says the referendum result is bad news politically for Peter Dutton because it makes him “look too negative”.
Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrell!
Don’t be too harsh.
The school system is pure indoctrination.
Went to a party last night with a large percentage of employees that work for the major corporates that threw money at the Voice. They were livid that their bosses decided to get involved in it. One bloke in particular from Bunnings told me that bonuses weren’t paid this year because his “betters” were pissing money up the wall on virtue signalling.
It’s not just taxpayer money that got wasted. Some employees got a double whammy. Or a triple whammy if you count the derision from customers. It was nothing to do with them. The University fat cats in head office probably slept with a clear conscience knowing that they did their bit for “the cause”, utterly oblivious to the corporate damage. Backslapping and promotions will be the result.
My gut feel is that the more exposure to Aboriginal community disfunction and the waste and rorting, the less likely to vote Yes.
When our inevitable downsize happens I’m getting out of this stupid electorate – every booth through the Eltham hippie heartland, the wealthy Ivanhoe enclave, the younger family cohorts in Monty, Yallambie, the Ivanhoe wannabees in Heidelberg and the retired academics of Rosanna and Lower Plenty, were overwhelmingly for Yes.
Too few ‘No’ outlier booths in Greensborough, Watsonia, Macleod and the working class bogans of Bundoora and Mill Park to make a difference. *sad face emoji*
Anger, tears, blame – and a thundering message to Australia: How the Yes campaign reacted to crushing Voice defeat – with Aboriginal elders warning: ‘We now know where we stand in our own country’
. Yes campaigners were overcome with emotion on Saturday
. The Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum failed in every state
. Key figures slammed the No campaign as ‘lying to the public’
Comments Very Unkind to the Idiots above
me too
2.7% informal – come on how dumb are these people? We do need a civics test.
Lindsay (NSW contains Penrith) voted near 70% No and Herbert (Qld contains Townsville) voted near 75% No. The celebrity NRL endorsements of Yes from Cleary and Thurston respectively provided no benefit.
Which is the “marry Jacinta”queue and how long is the queue?
Well said.
In Australian politics, celebrity endorsements are now the kiss of death.
You idiot, John Farnham.
