We have spent generations trying to unite people to a common purpose of improving our lives, all of our lives. With each year our nations have become more tolerant and accepting of differences in ideas, race, religion and sexual orientation. And now our own governments have been trying to legislate that some people are more deserving than others, that debts are owed from long gone generations to the anointed ones of today. Policies like these are seen to be unfair, not just by the people paying but by those receiving the benefits because they recognize the prejudice and division such policies will bring.

From Jo Nova:

Australians – Don’t forget to vote — who wants racial segregation?

Like a Brexit moment for the nation.

The Labor Government wants to make some changes to the Constitution but they won’t tell us what they are what’s in the legislation that flows from the vaguely worded changes*. Presumably they know we won’t like it, and presumably, most Australians seem to have figured that out.

How, under the sun, did a nation of adults get to a point where we are being asked to effectively sign legal documents that no one has read?

After the vote:

Australia overwhelmingly votes for No Segregation

Australia overwhelmingly votes for No Segregation

By Jo Nova

Despite spending millions to tell Australians that Good People Vote Yes, Australians overwhelmingly voted No to treating people differently according to their skin color, their heritage, or something their ancestors did. 

They voted no to giving a new group of bureaucrats power to slow down, interfere or hold to ransom any laws passed through the Australian Parliament. And in a sense they voted No to shallow relentless, vague advertising too.

Spontaneous No Signs were seen in nearly every state of Australia in 110km zones:

The main benefit of the $365 million dollars  the referendum cost is that now a lot of Australians feel more confident talking about race, while a lot of others found out that that calling people “racist” doesn’t persuade them. That may not have been what those in charge were aiming for. But hopefully we can have more productive conversations now instead of endless platitudes and meaningless pandering. The culture of victimhood is not helping anyone.

Significantly, the Referendum failed in every single state of Australia. Nationally it was 39.7% – Yes to 60.2% – No.  The only Territory to vote Yes, was the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) the levitating bubble-land which voted 60% “Yes” in a country where every other constituency voted the opposite. Remarkably, the Northern Territory, which has by far the highest proportion of actual aboriginal people (30%) voted just as strongly against the Voice as all the other states did (62% voted No).

The Voice truly was a tool of the Bankers, the Bureaucrat-class and Big Business, and Australians saw through it.

Across the Tasman, New Zealanders voted to throw out the Labor Government. It’s a good day!
