      I love democracy and democracy spoke. Democracy did not speak on the voice it spoke on putting it in the constitution an expensive and pointless gamble that killed the voice from existing in a form not within the constitution.

          The last one was removed essentially because they misused funds to try fight gang rape and assault charges

        Democracy spoke, but through it spoke the lies, the deception, the disinformation and the fearmongering that was blasted through all available channels by the no campaign. Facts didn’t matter. Fact-checking didn’t matter. Telling the truth didn’t matter. The liars won.

        There have been numerous legislated forms of the voice in the past decades. All of them ceased to exist when the government of the day didn’t want to put up with them any longer. The only way to guarantee a persistent body is by enshrining it in the constitution. Frankly, it wouldn’t have cost Australians anything to vote yes. They chose to believe the lies and to fall for the FUD.
