The Australian public made a decision and they usually make the right decisions
There were endless media types on the ABC and commercial media who supported Yes. Yes team also had a huge marketing budget, way outspending the No campaign
The PM also blamed the media. Unfortunately if you can't control the message, then you have no chance of persuading millions of voters to agree with you. Qantas and other big businesses couldnt provide a compelling message
I like Jacinta Price's quote:
"We were accused of misinformation on the NO side. The PM had a far more serious criticism - no information"
True
