I heard a right wing sound bite on the radio a while back where they were saying “if you’re unsure and don’t know just vote no” Instead of informing and educating. Just put your head back in the sand. Inspiring stuff.

Yep, it is part of their campaign material that went out this week. Hopefully most of Australia sees through this scare campaign.

I’m sad for the indigenous folk that will have to go through this nonsense much like our queer friends did during the run up to the gay marriage plebiscite.
