Some interesting data analysis here. I’ll pose the same question as the author:
…by majority vote, Australians have made clear that a constitutionally enshrined Voice to Parliament is not how they want to respond to these crises.
An urgent question emerges — what is?
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…
