      Rupes can’t vote. He renounced his Australian citizenship to be able to own media in the US.

  If you’re racist, vote no. It’s that simple.

    Voting no doesn’t make you racist. Voting no means you do not support the proposed change to the Constitution.

      It literally does. By voting no you’re saying you do not believe there should be a council that advises on first people’s affairs. So either;

      • you think we’ve done a cracker of a job without them so far in relation to policies that affected them
      • you think they shouldn’t have a say in laws that may negatively affect them
      • you’ve listened to one of various no campaign myths that has been debunked and are worried about paying more tax,or being negatively affected by this somehow.

      …Change to the constitution to allow first peoples more say over things that directly affect them via establishing a representative body.

      Voting no means that you are against the above. Voting yes means you’re for it.

      If you’re against it, it does feel quite racist as you’re voting not to have an indigenous voice enshrined in our constitution. Why not let them have a fair go?

  Hey, just a little nudge, if you’re keen to chat about the Voice to Parliament, we’ve got this corker of a megathread where we can all have a good chinwag in one spot. But if you’re not up for that, no worries, it’s business as usual. Gotta keep things fair dinkum!

      Yes but a contained nightmare.

  How many of you are voting “yes”? BTW how to vote and when does it start ?

    Here’s the Australian Electoral Commission page for it. The last referendum happened before I was born so, can’t speak much to that. I imagine it would be similar to the recent federal election where you go to your local polling place (usually a state school - the AEC should send a letter), however, instead of ranking candidates on the ballot you will just have a box which you should write ‘yes’ or ‘no’ in (yes if you support the voice, no if not). But definitely check out that resource I linked and if you’re interested in people’s opinions on the voice, have a read through our megathread

      I assume you mean “before I was voting age” rather than “before you were born”. The last referendum wasn’t that long ago. The last election was in 1999 and it was about recognising indigenous Australians in the constitution. Australia voted No.

      Anyway, it’ll be closer to a plebiscite than an election - which we’ve done more recently. Turn up at one of your ocal schools/halls/etc, preferably with photo ID so they can find your name, select “yes” or “no” on a slip of paper, fold it up and put it in a tamper proof box. Then go home and watch the count at the end of the day.

  This is the best summary I could come up with:

  ---

  The RedBridge poll was conducted over a period both before and after the Uluru Dialogue launched its ad for the Yes campaign featuring John Farnham’s You’re the Voice.

  The poll results also suggest naming the date for the referendum vote, and a general intensifying of campaign activity, have had little immediate impact on public opinion.

  Polls from both RedBridge and Essential this week have suggested that the No vote is slowly firming, while Yes is struggling to consolidate its locked-in support.

  On paper that might give them a campaign advantage, and enable hundreds of thousands of one-on-one conversations to occur as polling day approaches.

  Yes advocates, like Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, maintain those conversations — and a direct engagement with the issue — will make all the difference.

  Combine that with a general apathy about the referendum, which Kos Samaras says is coming through strong in focus groups conducted by RedBridge.
