Australians look set to vote against Indigenous voice in parliament
Bruising campaigns for and against recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people has exposed enduring racial divides
You're viewing a single thread.
The real reason it will fail is politics. The opposition party decided getting this voted down would strike a blow to the government.
So they’ve just blown racist dog whistles, racist trumpets, set of racists cannons and doubled down on ignorance: “If you don’t know vote No”
They have effectively weaponised division.
They created division by spreading lies, uncertainty and fear. Lies were repeated over and over, and became increasingly outrageous, despite being refuted again and again.
Then they pointed at the division they created and said "this is too divisive, we shouldn't do it."
