I feel like anyone who seriously thought a No vote would lead to a better outcome are going to be disappointed when indigenous rights are not revisited until 2050.
More importantly,.a Dutton or other LNP government can use this result to justify cute to funding and whatnot.
Awful time to be an Australian. How utterly embarrassing.

Did anyone really deep down think that “no” was a better outcome for the indigenous tough?

There was someone actively campaigning that in the Megathread, they argued that it would be seen as an excuse to not do anything

Yeah in the world news thread there’s multiple links to the guy from Black Peoples Union doing an interview.
It’s infuriating to watch for many reasons. IMO very flawed logic, and ulterior motives.
It’s a false dichotomy that you need to choose between the voice “or” something better.
The voice would have paved to road to something better.
