Probably hard to determine but I'd love to see proportion of no voters vs Murdoch news viewership. I feel like every other correlation could probably be tied to that variable.
I didn't see a single No ad on television. Yes ads were everywhere though, all over tv (murdoch channels included) and even youtube.
Well I didn't see either a TV add for either side. I did heard a lot more 'Don't know vote No' than anything else. I'm not sure anecdote is particularly helpful though.
Voting in Australia is MANDATORY... that's not how it should be, I voted what I voted because I don't give a fuck, I'm uninformed and hate the government... in my eyes I vote to save myself a $200 fine, it's basically blackmail...
and a more complicated picture emerges
Racism and bigotry aren't complicated.
everyone acting like it's some great mystery... simple truth is that Australians are profoundly entitled, racist, arseholes. anyone who has lived in any other culture and then returned will agree.
I wouldn't necessarily phrase it like that. There's a danger of oversimplifying the problem into just good (non-racist) and bad (racist) people and that doesn't help at all. The problems are systemic and go right to the very core of our nation. Non-Indigenous Australians will continue to make irrational, selfish decisions with regards to Indigenous Australians for as long as they don't understand why Indigenous culture is important (not just in Australia, but throughout the world) or the truth of their nation's history. Australia is culturally uneducated and unaware compared to the rest of the world and that has to change for any further progress to be made with regards to recognising Indigenous sovereignty in some form.
no, I'm talking about Australians and their culture. Australians acts like their state is a vital and respected world player, in reality it's just cemented its place as an arrogant and largely irrelevant post-colonial meme that will be completely subsumed by a more powerful Asian neighbour in the near future. The sad hilarity is that all we're trying to save back home is petty white hubris.
I'm from the states and I'm not trying to be a dick but Australians think of their country as a player in the great games of statehood? Like... how? Is it because y'all speak English, too? Because America has that spy base in the middle of y'all's desert?
There are more than a few cities that have a higher population than your entire country.
Typical far left way of thinking. Call the people that you want to vote for your ideologies and ideas more hateful words, I’m sure it’ll definitely work for you this time.
You guys are so arrogantly stupid you can’t even figure out the real reason why you lost.
