Why not support the voice?

[-] Ilandar@aussie.zone 8 points 1 year ago

The 'Progressive No' movement has pretty valid reasons to be against it, though as a non-Indigenous Australian I find it very difficult to consider voting no myself. The fact that I actually get to vote on this is honestly ridiculous, particularly when my vote is worth twice that of someone who it is supposed to be benefiting.

I mean, the fact that Dutton is supporting No would be enough reason for me to vote Yes

Edit: I am not saying this is the only reason. I very much believe that the first nations peoples should have a Voice

Voting because someone else does or doesn't vote this way or that is sport not politics. I would hope that most people take it far more seriously.

You write that like they don't both exist . And anyway, recognising the actions and policies of a political figure as being a polar opposite to your belief system is still a valid call.
