Prime example again of why the yes campaign lost. Drop the attacks on the voters, stop treating those that disagree with you with disdain and respectfully address the points made in the argument.

An advisory body? Why not legislate it? Labor has the numbers to pass it through both houses. Why enshrine it in the constitution?

If you look at what Thomas Mayo has had to say in all his activism and wisdom, you’d know that the intention was to have a constitutionally protected voice that can make representations to the government and request the government to consider a treaty with this voice committee which would supposedly be representative of all aboriginal communities.

I could also make the argument two former high court judges have publicly stated their concerns around the voice’s overreach Ian Callinan and Murray Gleeson.

End of the day the Australian public has overwhelmingly rejected this proposal and so a new path forward should be the focus to address the problems indigenous people face.
