Good content bar the last paragraph.
State your case, don’t rip the other side down.
Oh come on, their slogan is "Don't Know Vote No", which is literally, if you are ignorant, vote no.

I don’t like that, it’s far too simplistic.Oh come on, their slogan is "Don't Know Vote No", which is literally, if you are ignorant, vote no.
Why cost is always the issue raised here with Citizen Referendum?Have no time for politicians that try to treat the voting public as fools.
Can see a valid argument for citizen initiated referenda to be held at the same time as general elections are held so that there is no additional, or little additional cost to the tax payer at the time.
To be honest in this day and age with smartphones computers and the like there isn't as much need for representative democracy acting as a proxy for us.Why cost is always the issue raised here with Citizen Referendum?
Seriously, why?
Yes there is some cost in asking the questions... As you say we can just run this parallel to elections most of the time.
Ultimately... WERE IN CONTROL.
We should be in control, it's our Democracy and our country.
Ofcourse there is going to be some cost, but were the bosses and we deserve to be asked about a lot more decisions.
This post deserves another airing. It's not only relevant, but a bit mind-boggling. There's obviously tons of advice being given to government at all levels about Aboriginal issues.We already have 3278 Aboriginal corporations
243 Native title bodies
48 land councils
35 regional councils
122 Aboriginal agencies
3 advisory bodies
145 health organisations
11 indigenous federal MPs
$33 billion annually in funding

Either the advice doesn't work or it's not being adopted. The above should be more than enough.
250 mobs with multiple clans within each are going to put a lot of pressure on the services. I’d like to see how one representative body will manage to pull all these wants and ideas together to provide an advisory voice to parliament. They’ll need a huge staff just to get around them all.This post deserves another airing. It's not only relevant, but a bit mind-boggling.

The squeaky wheel always gets the oil.It's decentralised, that's always been the issue.
Pulling strings from all sides has been an issue

Is it possible that the advice is in conflict with Aboriginal way of life ?if it’s not coming from Blackfellas then it may not be readily accepted?This post deserves another airing.

It depends on your interpretation.They've gone ahead & deleted their headline,
not b4 it made prime time news & got bites though.
You don't have to agree with her comments
but it's nasty stuff again from no campaigners
& their mouth pieces propping up the status quo

I took it they she said if you look at arguments for the no campaign and pull them apart, they are either based in racism or just plain stupidity.
She isn’t just referring to the Liberals and other campaigners.
This woman has form.
Irrespective, it didn’t need to be said. According to polls, the majority of the country agree with the NO Campaign. Playing the man rather than the topic through conspiracy theories and vile rhetoric won’t change peoples minds.Dunno man, Murdoch media/libs have form too.
Seems pretty black & white 2 me (pun intended)
