It was because the creation was meant to be a collaborative process across party lines once the vote went through to alleviate half the fears and concerns the no voters had anyway. They wanted the structure to be flexible to the concerns of the elected government so that future problems could be fixed if they arised.

My sister has aboriginal friends. she works at childcare so she has an aboriginal aunty coming in to talk to the children about aboriginal culture. Her friends mob, the auntie‘s mob, they all voted no. Everyone I know voted no mostly because we asked the question to the aboriginal people in our lives ‘what are you voting?

There's so many reasons to vote no (as someone who voted yes). Division via race is not one of them.

HARD WORK AND EDUCATION will help them. Nothing else.
@@LogicCasterYes. It's up to them to take personal self-responsibility for their own life outcomes like the rest of us do each and every day. Hard work and working smart will bring positive results. They are our equal and can compete with us equally in all things.
@@LogicCaster This is very unethical, no matter which struggling group we are speaking of. Sometimes people need a helping hand.
the yes campaign has no one to blame but themselves, they expected us to buy a product, before the product was ever created.
It was because the creation was meant to be a collaborative process across party lines once the vote went through to alleviate half the fears and concerns the no voters had anyway. They wanted the structure to be flexible to the concerns of the elected government so that future problems could be fixed if they arised.
The opposition exploited their ability to change things in the future to make the voice seem half baked despite the endorsement by top law experts.
@@aidancoutts2341you lost. Get over it :)
@@aidancoutts2341We just wanted the same rights and voice the first persons were going to get but no other race would get an extra voice so NO

Absolutely, and just pathetic at that!

It is not a rejection of unity for all Australians, nor is it a rejection of first Australians.

The thing to take from all this- and I struggle every day to see why after all this time, this is not patently obvious- whenever you see gov offering to help the people, in any way, shape or form- and especially in these times- if you take their offer at face value, it is at your own peril.

My sister has aboriginal friends. she works at childcare so she has an aboriginal aunty coming in to talk to the children about aboriginal culture. Her friends mob, the auntie‘s mob, they all voted no.
Everyone I know voted no mostly because we asked the question to the aboriginal people in our lives ‘what are you voting? What do you want?’
The other part was through our own research. (or lack of information for yes)
The only person I know that voted yes, out of all my friend, family, and work colleges
Was an ultra, radical, "Everything is the patriarchy fault" feminist
Sorry Thomas Mayo but the country has spoken and you do need to listen.
I see that as ignorance and lack of respect from Thomas Mayo.
So the yes campaign won't accept the democratic result. In their own words, they'll keep going until they get their way. Wasters, the lot of them.
Exactly!
Isn't it funny that now they're blaming the No supporters for being too hard-headed!
If they keep on trying, more and more people will getxsick of it and vote no more and more.
If you actually asked those individuals who wanted the yes to win how much are they willing to give remote communities from Mt Isa to Darwin in money to help their communities grow, watch the response

@@rceravolojnr The voice is to help Indigenous communities which are usually much worse off compared to non-indigenous communities.

Lol, love how she's talking about the super majority yet it isn't looking to get an overall majority or even 1 state.
her tears are delish :)
I think the clincher was when the pro hamas rally occurred at the Sydney Opera house, aboriginal flags were amongst those being waved in unison with the hamas, whilst the crowd were shouting "gas the jews".
No attempt from the aboriginals to remove their alliance with hamas. A resounding NO vote sufficed.
As usual, even with the funding from ALL the big corporations, even with the word Yes instead of the word Voice being used to promote one outcome, we ain't no bunnies.
