They should have come up with a better proposal before bringing it to a referendum then. Give me something that meaningfully and permanently provides actual change for indigenous people. Another advisory position is pointless.

Also I believe a huge part of the swing towards the No vote is due to the over the top aggression and abuse that’s thrown at anyone that even dares to question voting yes, being called racists and the like. The communities in here are as guilty of it as any. All that type of activism does is turn people against your cause.

It's quite funny how you've gone from complaining about "perpetually offended progressives" a couple of months ago, to constantly crying about your own hurt feelings in every single thread about the Voice. Also very interesting how this matches up exactly with the Conservative No's campaign tactics at the moment. Yet once again, we're expected to believe you're here to debate in good faith.

Where exactly am I crying about my hurt feelings?

Funny how once again a staunch yes voter comes stomping in aggressively telling the no voters they’re just racist etc, literally exactly like I just said 😂 . You couldn’t have proven my point any better.
