There were 2 main issues for me.

  1. The wording did not specify how they would be selected.
  2. The voice did not require that the members needed to be Aboriginal. So it would have been a bunch of non Aboriginal mates of politicians in the voice. Just like how Tony Abbott got to be the minister for women.

The yes campaign just said trust us it will do nothing so you don't need to worry. What was the point then?

I'm sorry. I did heaps of reading about this and I couldn't find any details. If it was out they did a terrible job of making it available.

There are very few in inner city Melbourne.

We are more progressive. The trouble is the amendment was too vague and if anyone asked questions or suggested that they might vote no, they got called a racist and told to educate themselves.
The Yes campaign ended up mostly using the argument that you should vote yes because conservative are telling you to say no.

Tensions were rising not dropping.

So if you encountered a criminal holding an innocent person hostage, you would shoot the hostage on the off chance that you might also hit the criminal. You would then shoot the paramedic trying to save the hostages' life.
Your version of the trolley problem must be pretty wack.

With the exception of the festival attack you could just as easily be describing the IDF. Hamas and the IDF are evil.
