Referendums generally don’t work when they become political. Ever.

[Francois Jackson]

I love it when people say im on the fence but then give a paragraph spill on why its great. I've seen that a few times.

How about fo. I dont trust any politician let alone the flogs in charge now. Why do i have to vote yes? Some aboriginals dont even want it so what makes anyone else any different.

No different to the jab. Have no issue if others chose not to, but it became political and frowned upon just like this.

My choice is a resounding NO. Do i think we are going to be paying more taxes or any crap like that. I dont have a reply on that, but again reverting back to my original post about politicians I dont trust any of them.

How about fix the issues that most people want fixed Albonese it instead of embarking on a white mans cleansing crusade.

Nothing I said in my post amounts to the voice being great.

And I hope you didn't just tell me to F off because I wanted to have a legitimate discussion about it.

You failed to make a point other than making yourself look scared. Don't trust pollies, a useless mention of tax and something silly about a cleanse? All of that just says fear fear fear.

I'm voting yes. Yes to Albo must go I mean

I'm scared of 65 that's about it.

FO to pollies not you.

Thanks now that that is  sorted my points valid and I'm not alone.

Albonese should walk whichever vote gets up.

Other issues more important than this.

Id vote for Jacinta Nampijinpa Price any day of the week she is a very talented aboriginal woman which I've agreed with her every time I've heard her speak.

The voice to parliament debate back in April, she and Warren Mundine had as "against" the proposal in my opinion, made a much much better argument than the two aboriginals that were "for" the proposal.

Jacinta is an example of how any indigenous person can make a massive difference for any Australian.

It was disgusting that she was called racist for her stance on this issue but she has always presented herself with excellence and integrity despite the attacks she had been subjected to.

Serious question about Jacinta Price, you mention her integrity. What about the times she blatantly lied during the campaign? Surely that calls into question her integrity?

Now before people give me their stock standard whacks and say I'm sooking over the result and it's sour grapes.

I accept the referendum result, I'm definitely disappointed with it but certainly not surprised by it. It was never going to succeed without bipartisan support. Actually I question whether it would have got up even with bipartisan support.

The only other comment I will make tonight is and I've posted it previously and that is I am absolutely staggered by the ignorance people have about our constitution. That so many people don't know what's in it, how it works has genuinely left me scratching my head. But it is what it is and we move on

[Francois Jackson]

What a great result. Most people rejected this rubbish and with good reason.  Nothing pleases me more to see albo's voice sound even more pathetic than he usually sounds.

A lot of "ignorant" people out there it seems  yet albo can do no wrong

By the way NT seats overwhelming no vote. 

[Francois Jackson]

Mr Abbott said it was a “radical power grab by an activist class.”

Mayo the union freak and albo have been absolutely demolished and they both must walk.

[Andyy]

Personally I don't see the result of the referendum having any impact on Albo or election.

We were asked to vote on something and we did.

Doesn't mean heads need to roll?
