The Voice: The Elites May Be Beginning Wound Licking Already By James Reed
Sky News is reporting that people do not like the Voice, whether they come from the Liberal or Labor camps. I was at the community centre reading the article extract below, and a debate erupted between a young white guy, a Yes supporter, and an Indian woman, supporting No. He raised the racism objection which she smashed, saying, I am not white, and he caved in immediately. And, she raised the fundamental issue discussed below, that there are so many uncertainties with the Yes change to the constitution, that even if one supported a type of Voice, or a treaty, as Mundane does, this is the wrong way to do it. Ok, I can live with that, for the next week. Everyone, of all politics and hues, needs to vote No! to knock this over!
“We didn’t get bipartisanship so that’s down the drain at the beginning,” Mr Shanahan told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
“I think that people don’t like the idea, regardless of their political persuasion.”
The latest Newspoll published in The Australian shows support for the Voice has dropped to its lowest level at just 36 per cent.
Australians will head to the ballot box to cast their vote in the Voice referendum on October 14, despite polling indicating it could be heading for defeat.”
