Good idea albeit mild

There's a third choice to abstain

 

[Gralin]

What?

You don't have to pick yes/no
You can abstain

 

[Cleavy]

You don't have to pick yes/no

Write “yeah nah’ instead.

Write “yeah nah’ instead.

You know people are going to do it

Voted earlier this week and voted no

When Albo and the " YES" campaign changes tact and calls it

"a great historic change that will finally resolve all the issues afflicting some – but not all Aboriginal people"

"Close the gap and achieve reconciliation once and for all"

"it's just an advisory committee, that future governments can choose to either ignore or implement their ideas"

Can't even get their story straight, I'm not voting yes to something that the government don't even know what it's going to entail.

The fact that many YES campaigners resort to cheap name calling when they can't answer simple questions is another own goal for them.

But I'm sure using celebrities like Shaq, Johnny Farnham, Barnsey, MC Hammer and.... Magda is going to entice voters.1

Sit down have a conversation and engage the process step by step

How racist are you if you abstain?

How racist are you if you abstain?

Like any of the other answers it really depends on how racist you are, not which option you chose

And if the 'no' vote wins out, will it lend credence to the inevitable commentary that Australia is a "racist country" ?

Not really a GD discussion point is it, did you get banned from the SRP thread?

 

[Back One Out]

Geez mate... There is more to life than banning people on Big Footy

Yeah like not engaging with your bullshit

Young Australians urged to ‘groom a boomer’ to change Yes campaign fortunes

The tongue-in-cheek video, where one actor suggested taking the TV remote away from baby boomers, is coupled with a call to action to younger generations to convince older family members to vote yes.

No campaign call centre tech contract severed after Voice ‘fear’ strategy revealed

The No campaign’s contract with a firm allowing it to make hundreds of thousands of calls to persuadable voters has been cut in the crucial final dash of the referendum.

seems like the closer we get to voting day, the grubbier and more pathetic the tactics get (on both sides, to be fair).

EDIT: added additional link for balance

The whole thing is a waste of time that won't help anybody.

I'm just going with an informal vote writing something stupid on the paper.

Hooray for the racists.
Another victory for settler colonialism.

No better than Israelis.

 

[Billy ray]

Just set up the advisory board anyway.
