Voice to parliament referendum fails in defeat that Indigenous advocates will see as a blow to progress towards reconciliation

Saturday’s voice to parliament referendum failed, with the defeat clear shortly after polls closed.
We just proved 60% of the country are dumbass racist hicks, we don't need dumbass racist hicks armed with assault rifles. It's bad enough here with the spiders and snakes.
As for the no voting, the US could certainly take a leaf from our book. The republicunts would evaporate overnight if you had mandatory voting with ranked choice and meaningful minor parties.
