In the wake of the delivery of a resounding no to this proposed constitutional change, this article offers a very measured analysis of the problems with the Voice proposal and rejects the simplistic idea that a "no" is simply due to Australians being racist. This article is from before the referendum.

That graph is depressing.

And weird.

People are saying that referendums represent the will of the people, as if it was unmoving. How many people would have changed their minds after the u.s.s.r. dissolution of 1991 for example ?

Also, i've looked at the opinion surveys for presidential elections of the last decades and it always moved a lot in the last weeks, a proof that they're consciously manipulative/lying i.m.h.o.
