“This opposition leader makes things up regularly, sometimes several times a day, with growing confidence.” Peter Dutton is Australia's figurehead of fear and fake news, like Trump but without charisma | Katharine Murphy on politics.#auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…

Rove McManus: "Over 80% of Aboriginal People want this to happen. If it wasn't for us it would happen. We're the ones stopping it!" #VoteYesAustralia

normboy562 Union Proud Labor until death 👊🙋‍♂️ ABC News Stay strong! Just know you can stand tall in the knowledge that you did the right thing and voted YES!

Australia's media delivered us a decade of the worst government & PM in our history. It's failure to hold Morrison to account undermined democracy. It's now cast a blight on Australia's soul by allowing Dutton's lies to flourish unchecked during the #TheVoice campaign. #auspol

Marcia Langton-speaks words that echo many of us: The “No” campaign & architects of it will have a political win that will only further entrench structural racism in our lives. They will gloat about it. They will go out of their way to make our lives worse simply because they are

Headline I do not wish to see tomorrow— AUSTRALIA CONFIRMS IT IS ALL FOR GIVING EVERYONE A FAIR GO EXCEPT PEOPLE WITH BLACK OR BROWN SKIN #Voice #VoteYes #Yes23 #VoteYesAustralia

Another key point to consider. If Yes is failed then there will be no republic referendum. All republicans should definitely vote yes Australian Republic Movement

We came to this country, kicked the inhabitants off, murdered them, raped the women, enslaved workers (unpaid) massacred tribes including children, took their land and used it and its bounty for our benefit ... and now we tell them again to fuck off. Aren't we wonderful. #auspol

What a terrible referendum result. I thought Australians would have seen through the lies, division and politicking of the LNP, Murdoch press and various media commentators. I was wrong. The nation is the poorer for the rejection of the offer from indigenous Australians.

Well, it's official! Australia has become a racist shit hole. I am so ashamed to be Australian right now. #VoiceToParliament

"Unfairly or not, we’ve been lumped in with the UK (Brexit) and US (Trump) as countries prepared to shoot themselves in the reputational foot to hang on to what’s seen as a chequered past." — Andrew Gardiner michaelwest.com.au/stuck-in-a-col…

His initial announcement got a lot of coverage, as a significant announcement. His subsequent retreat from it got very little. Another big media failure. x.com/rachelrwithers…

"We witnessed the debate. We heard the racism. We heard the lies told to damage not only the Voice but the picture Australians have of Indigenous people..." Sean Kelly echoing the Redfern speech. Modern-day Australians can no longer absolve themselves. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

One positive thing Anthony Albanese could do is to take the referendum result this weekend, and view it as a mandate to removal all aligned voices to parliament. It is reasonable to view it that way. No more Mining Council, Pharmacy Guild, the lot… cut them all off. Completely.

My first take, which may well change on reflection, but: That might be political genius?

Of all the illogical nonsense from the No Camp...them saying for months that we should all be treated the same & there must be no special treatment for any group whilst now calling for a RC into Indigenous communities, really makes me sick with anger. They have no fuckin shame.

"—Australian politics was largely reduced this week to what the Voice was supposed to address: White people yelling at each other while First Nations people were forced to watch from the sidelines." — Laura Tingle abc.net.au/news/2023-10-2…

The thing I see with LNP politicians on TV is fear. It's in their eyes, their facial expressions and their panicked speech. All appear to be afraid. Except Barnaby. He just appears to be drunk. #auspol

@jjmvoice I do not wish to hear another male voice in my lifetime telling me how women need to listen to them about male violence. Your take on male violence is of no interest to me. Go away and do some learning on why *you* should not be speaking about women's murder at the hands of men

I see Kevin Donnelly couches Misinformation Billas an attack on freedom rights Please speak in plain English Mr Donnelly you want the freedom to indoctrinate the masses with propaganda that is s not True veiled in the Cloak of freedom rights Utter Hypocrisy
