So it's pretty to sign easy up to volunteer for the yes23 campaign. I did it this morning. I can't manage much more than handing out how to vote cards, but I'll probably do a couple more things in the mean time. I think this is a time to step up. Deciding you're going to vote yes and figuring everyone else around you is "Melbourne Basic Woke 101" is probably not enough. https://www.yes23.com.au/volunteer
The no campaign is based on complete bullshit. Pretty much the cookers and liberal cunts who grew up after their covid misinformation campaigns have learned their lessons very well. They know how to make people believe conspiracy theories and are under no obligation to tell the truth.
Our democracy is a bit of a joke, but it's no laughing matter what colonialism has done in Australia and all over the world. The yes side are doing an ok job, but Albo is a bit of a wet paper bag.
I am so SO fucking sick of this. I hate it. Its a bit like the gay marriage thing. There is an OBVIOUS right and an OBVIOUS wrong. But sure lets to a litmus test of how strong news corps' influence is. Or how uneducated the country truly is. Albo looks weaker and weaker by the day by refusing to call the vote. And the longer this goes on the more room is created for hate under the guise of "Debate". Pathetic leadership.
Yes. This is why I volunteered. This shouldn't be a political issue at all. It's about the constitution not being left or right wing. Australians are often either racist or just don't give a shit so they buy Murdoch's bullshit. What Murdoch has to gain from the no vote is anyone's guess, but it's probably just cos he and his staff are all racist scum.
