An academic report has found the Voice referendum normalised racism and increased hostility toward First Nations People - just as No campaign desired. (I’ll never get over my anger at the No campaign - particularly Dutton, Price and Mundine. Callous and cruel people).

I was a tactical voter in my electorate before the Voice. Leaned to Labor, but voted Lib if the margin got too wide. (Before Indy’s were a thing). I know better now. 😬

Totally and Absolutely agree

Be very careful, Australia.
I’m disgusted at the lingering hostility toward First Nations people. It’s become normalised to mock Welcome to Country and the achievements of their cultures.

From flipping from Yes to No...
Normalising Racism and Silencing FNP.
They no doubt relished the hurt they inflicted on FN’S people. And the damage to our image around the world as a supposedly inclusive country.

The NO campaign used misinformation & lies to scare voters away from YES vote.
Typical Dutton to go with fear & loathing. Our MM ably assisted Dutton again.
I can’t help thinking 1 reason for this is linked to mining & land rights & the greed of a few mining oligarchs & MP’s😥
And that’s making me very nervous about the upcoming election. Because what if we’re not better than that and we go down the felon trump path?
Just like the marriage equality plebiscite liberated a homophobia and transphobia that my son really physically felt, The Voice referendum liberated racism.
The 'no' campaign in both cases, legally freed from requirements for truth, was wickedly deceptive.
Everything that motivates that prick is based on how much money he can leverage out for himself.
It really showed Mob, how the majority of Australia really feels about Aboriginal peoples.
