The latest poll result for the Voice referendum shows more bad news for Yes with rapidly declining support across all demographics. For Yes to win from here it needs to turn things around fast and undecided voters are in the spotlight, writes Casey Briggs.

    It literally does. By voting no you’re saying you do not believe there should be a council that advises on first people’s affairs. So either;

    • you think we’ve done a cracker of a job without them so far in relation to policies that affected them
    • you think they shouldn’t have a say in laws that may negatively affect them
    • you’ve listened to one of various no campaign myths that has been debunked and are worried about paying more tax,or being negatively affected by this somehow.

        Not really. Because if it could, it would have. This forces it to happen without liberal/conservative interference.

        The fact that it’s been impossible thus far to create a significant body to the point where said group of people have forced a referendum to occur should be enough proof that it needs to occur.

        The other part of this is it’s not the US. No one knows our constitution, and up until this point most probably didn’t even know we had one…
