Add it to our list of embarrassingly backwards decisions as a country.
What's depressing is that they lost to a โIf you donโt know, vote Noโ slogan:
During months of campaigning, the No vote gained momentum with slogans that appealed to voter apathy โ โIf you donโt know, vote Noโ โ and a host of other statements designed to instil fear, according to experts, including that it would divide Australia by race and be legally risky
I saw about a million different posters campaigning for yes. A million different peolpe getting up in my face while im trying to walk somewhere saying fight racism vote yes. I saw 1 single person campaigning for no didnt even have a slogan and that was as i walked into the polling booth. The yes vote did not lose to a slogan it lost cos it divided the people by race.
months of campaigning? for the Yes vote maybe.
I saw literally nothing from the No camp in the media. the first time I saw the slogan was on polling day.
They didn't lose to a slogan, they lost to a literate public actually reading their shithouse proposal.
you absolute donkey
The most highly educated parts of the country voted yes, so your statement that the literate won this referendum hardly holds up.
private schoolboys want to give the government more power? colour me shocked.
