Supporters of the Voice to Parliament, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and SA Premier Peter Malinauskas have called out protesters who targeted a major No campaign event in Adelaide.
Sounds like it was a protest not a hate rally as the no campaign are making it out to be. It wasn't even an explicitly pro yes protest. Looks like they were protesting against racism and fracking, as is their democratic right.
Do we really want the opposing sides protesting the other side's events? Tensions are high enough now. Wait until a bunch of idiots start throwing punches.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has condemned the actions of protesters outside a major No campaign event in Adelaide, calling for a respectful debate.
About 20 protesters gathered outside the Adelaide Convention Centre on Monday night holding signs reading "fight racism" and "no pride in genocide" while chanting "always was, always will be, Aboriginal land".
South Australian Liberal Senator Alex Antic posted a video to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) which appeared to show him being heckled by the crowd.
At least one person could be heard yelling abusive phrases as Senator Antic walked past, including the word "racist".
"I've never persuaded anyone by calling them names, so it's crazy stuff, and I certainly don't think it reflects where the majority of Australians are at in the course of this debate."
Coalition Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price told about 1,000 attendees of the event that Indigenous supporters of the No campaign were being singled out for their stance against the Voice.

I love how giving specific powers to a specific race within the constitution is anything but racism. Sounds almost like the textbook definition of racism to me but what do i know.
Most where removed currently there are only 2 sections that mention race that being section 25 and section 51. Section 25 prohibits a state from considering a race prevented from voting as part of their population (this was to encourage states not to discriminate but with our mandatory voting seems kinda irrelevent). Section 51 grants the commonwealth the ability to make laws about specific races. So as of current nothing in the constitution grants a race specifi powers it simply grants the government the ability to govern race.
There is nothing in the proposal that says the body will have any power whatsoever. It can't propose bills. It can't veto bills. All it can do is draw attention to matters that will specifically impact First Nation peoples.
Ok so if its powerless then its pointless and a waste of taxpayer money. If its not powerless then its exactly as i said. So which one is it? How is it not racist to have a body as part of government that requires u have a particular race to be a part of.
No this is the argument that any lines drawn by race are inertly racist. I have no idea who this pro putin cooker is but putin is genociding the Ukrainian people which is also racist.
