Opponents of the Indigenous Voice to Parliament have used the official No campaign launch in Perth to suggest the referendum debate is dividing the community.
And over 1000 people packed in to Ascot Racecourse to cheer on the Liberals for this important message. Because there’s one thing that post-war baby boomer Liberal voters hate more than paying tax, and that is DIVISION.
The campaign launch in Western Australia comes after WA Liberal leader Libby Mettam last week revealed she would be reversing her position on the Voice to NO, as the gravitating existential crisis faced by both the Nationals and Libs comes crashing down on the last remaining Federal and State MPs in a nation that is run by Labor in every level of government except for Tasmania – where the Liberal Party has the luxury of supporting an Indigenous Voice because they are in power.
Everywhere else, the Liberals are fighting against the referendum, and demanding Australians VOTE NO against the proposal to constitutionally recognise Aboriginal people and provide their elders with a room in Parliament House to advise politicians on cultural factors that may otherwise be overlooked when drafting up programmes aimed at fixing disadvantage in Aboriginal communities.
This is because because referendums are rarely successful, and by channelling all of the Liberal Party’s resources and Murdoch media favours into opposing the Indigenous Voice might make their limping party appear political relevant again.
As in, if it’s an unsuccessful referendum result, the unelectable Liberals get to cheer like they’ve actually won an election!
But they can’t do it without the hard work of the No campaigners, who judging by the crowd at the campaign launch in Perth, looks exactly like the same heroic grey-haired Australians that are always the first to step in and help their fellow man.
The same demographic that have valiantly protected our natural environment from being destroyed by the accelerated burning of fossil fuels – and also protected their fellow Australians right to affordable housing in a manipulated property bubble.
Once again, the polo shirt boomers are on the right side of history and are begging us to vote NO to an Indigenous Voice and vote NO to the ‘division’ that comes with giving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders a chance.
