Antony pops in. WA 60:40 no.

Nationally 59:41. Only ACT voted yes (unintentional hilarity).

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

What the opposition leader is now going to do? He’s the opposition leader, you daft old fart!

Carpe Jugulum signing off really does give vibes of a Q&A thread of old!

I miss those Monday nights.

I want the Conservatives to win in Poland tomorrow.

. praying for that too Cassie

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.

The single malt has done its work and I’m signing off. It’s been a great day. Thanks for your company, fellow Cats.

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.

Well that is that then.
Thank F for that.

She said there are aboriginal kids that don’t speak English. Is that true?

Millions of white kids don’t speak it either.

“Credlin slaying Kenny on Sky.”

Boy meets girl on who got to the sandpit first.

Landslide disaster for Labour Marxist trash.

Next up, Mr Dutton: net zero. Dump it.

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.

Alcosleazy needs to go.

Have drunk a lot tonight Cats. Am a bit drunk. It’s been a tough week.

Kosher Woodstock’s?

QLD has shown it will be our Florida. Just need to get rid the Marxists and never let them back in.

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.

Have drunk a lot tonight Cats. Am a bit drunk.

Rubbish! You’re still posting coherently, so at most you might be a little tipsy.
🙂

Call in the Councillors , our bwave First XI are devoed.

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.

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.

Queensland has entered the chat.

At first look, running 80% No. Go you good thing!

I’m looking at the 7:30pm results and can say I’m proud to be a Queenslander.

It’s done. No to racism, to to identity politics, no to division.
We are one, we are all equal under the law.

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.

Razey,

“WA just smashed through 60%”

Up the WAs!

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…

Communist Mayo now on and devastated.

That’s so sad, Mayo.
Here’s my sad face.
Now for my next trick, I will call for the banning and incarceration of all the Communist pricks.

“So far only three of WA’s 15 seats were expected to back the Voice.”

Does this mean the inquiry into where trillions of dollars has gone, will go ahead?

A good point.
A very good point, ZK2A.

The Marxists must be wondering what went wrong.

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.

Ah, here’s the obsequiousness and humility:

A group of Indigenous leaders have declared a “week of silence” after tonight’s referendum, saying: “We now know where we stand in this, our own, country”.

A statement written by a number of Indigenous leaders, without names being provided, calls for seven days of mourning to grieve the comprehensive No vote and to “reflect on is meaning and outcome”.

“Now is not the time to dissect the reasons for [it],” it says.

“Now is the time for silence, to mourn and deeply consider the consequences of this outcome. Much will be asked about the role of racism and prejudice against Indigenous people in this result. The only thing we ask is that each and every Australian who voted in this election reflect hard on this question.”

The statement says it was “never in the gift of these newcomers to refuse recognition to the true owners of Australia”.

“The referendum was 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 in this country.”

No lessons will be learned.
Nothing will change.
Unless a major political party pierces the bubble surrounding them.
Ha!

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%

No olive branches.
Grind them into the dust.

Tony Abbott has learned nothing. You cannot be a ‘peacemaker’ when the bullets are flying. Wake up to your bloody self.

Anyone who still think of him as a statesman is a fool.

60.11% NO – https://tallyroom.aec.gov.au/ReferendumNationalResults-29581.htm

Ok My Teal Electorate Mackellar with “Stupid Zali Steggall of NO Brains”

showing YES 50.47% – NO 49.53%

Given – https://tallyroom.aec.gov.au/ReferendumDivisionResults-29581-132.htm

seems to show Absent – Provisional – Declaration Pre-Poll not showing any numbers and my wife voted NO Pre-Poll

I take heart from Postal Vote Figures of YES 35.34% vs NO 66.64%

that in the end `Mackellat may end up with greater NO Vote – Sucks to Zali Steggall

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.

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.

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.

You’ve nailed it, Sancho.

Epic is truly the word. It offers so much hope for better things, on so many of the big issues of today. Looking at Net Zero next.

QLD closing on 70% no!
WA at 62.9

Curtin, haunt of teals at 51% Yes.
And Perth at 56% Yes.

DIsgraceful.

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.

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.

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.

blockquote fail, wrong way round. And still on referendum thread.

Will repost on OT. Apologies, this flakey internet is foul

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.

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.

Reconciliation?

1967
Land rights
Sorry book
PM says sorry (sort of twice)

The Aboriginal, Marxist activists killed reconciliation.

30:70 may be a thing with more QLD, WA & pre poll votes.

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.

That leaves a whopping 4,452,310 who didn’t cast a vote.

No, it’s just the way the AEC set up their live count tally.

It’s so nice to wake up on the wrong side of history.

“If you don’t know, find out what you don’t know… what that slogan is saying is ‘if you’re a dinosaur or a dickhead… who can’t be bothered reading, vote no’,” Martin told the crowd.

Be quiet now! He should never pipe up again in public.

This is the last half of a long letter to members from Daniel Wild of the IPA.

I am tremendously proud of the research and analysis the IPA has prepared over many years on this vital topic, and on the broader matter of our national values and way of life. And I am also very proud of the team at the IPA, who has, among many other matters, been provided nation-leading research on the Voice to Parliament for many years.

It is important also to understand that the Voice is a dramatic refutation of Australia’s governing class of the corporate, media, political, and institutional elites. Never before in Australia’s history has economic, corporate, financial, and communications power been coordinated and deployed against mainstream Australians in such a manner.

At least in the early days of the referendum campaign, almost every single major corporate, media organisation, civic institution (such as places of worship), and sporting code shamelessly supported and financed the divisive race-based Voice to parliament.

All up, the Yes campaign had a war chest of some $50 million minimum.

Never forget everything that the elites tried to do to stack the deck in this referendum and to stop there being a free and fair debate.

The government gave a multimillion dollar financial free kick to the Yes campaign through favourable tax treatment.

Qantas gave free flights to Yes campaigners.

The government tried to stop the distribution of the referendum pamphlet, outlining the Yes and the No case, a tradition dating back to 1912.

And foreign big tech companies and self-appointed fact-checkers, with the backing of government, engaged in unprecedented levels of censorship.

That Australians saw through all of this should give you hope for the future.

Lastly, we should all remember that millions of our fellow countrymen and women voted Yes. And that, no doubt, the great majority of those who voted this way did so because they genuinely believed the Voice would alleviate the tragic outcomes that far too many Indigenous Australians in remote parts of the country face, just as we all do.

It is our obligation and responsibility to engage in a healing and unifying process for our nation. There is far more that unites us as Australians than divides us. The fault is not with those who voted Yes, but with the elites in Canberra who put our nation through this divisive, unnecessary, and entirely avoidable process.

Everything the IPA has done in terms of research has only been possible thanks to you and our nearly 9,000 members across Australia.

Thank you for your support – this one’s for you.

Before I let you go, I wanted to remind you of a special IPA Online Town Hall, to be held on Monday 16 October. John Roskam, Scott Hargreaves and myself will provide our insights on the Voice referendum and take your questions.

The IPA Town Hall is held over Zoom, and there are two sessions you can join – either 12-1pm, or 5-6pm (or you can attend both). You can register here. I hope you can make it.

They too have done sterling work for the NO case.

Tinta, Berowra, 47Yes-53No.

And my electorate, Paterson, at 70% No, despite the large and very prominent indigenous population.
