Australians have resoundingly rejected a proposal to recognise Aboriginal people in its constitution and establish a body to advise parliament on Indigenous issues.
Saturday’s voice to parliament referendum failed, with the defeat clear shortly after polls closed.

We really need to move on from this divisive attitude that people who don't vote the way we do, especially with such a clear democratic majority, are necessarily 'pieces of shit'. Life and politics are more complicated than that and more politically informed left-leaning voters should know better.
Except it is often the case they are pieces of shit.
Sane people don't vote for Clive or Pauline, for example.
Perfectly sane people do. I wouldn't, but I don't denigrate others' sanity based on their political views. This is how you inflame and stifle debate, which only fuels ignorance.
No, they don't. No-one sane does.
