Remeber the referendum as a whole cost $364.6 million taxpayer dollars.
- Completely unnecessary when the govt could have just reinstated "the voice" like we used to have
  
  There is 364.6 million things they could have done and chose not to.
  
  There have been about 8 or 10 versions of a legislated or regulated voice-adjacent body since the 1970s. Precisely which one should they reinstate?
- Remember governments past and present piss away this and more routinely for far less social benefit
