Thought I would get in early……I am voting NO. 
I can’t afford to pay the rent and the bookies as well.

    The Minister for Indigenous Australians is herself an Indigenous woman. It's a con that Indigenous Australians don't have a voice. Albanese is of the left faction of the ALP. Is he really saying that his government can't help close the gap because ATSI people don't have a voice? Total BS. It's a Trojan Horse.
     I would love to see the gap closed. Unfortunately if you want western wealth and western health, you have to have kids attending school regularly and parents working and setting a good example for them.
     A resounding NO from me.

    This referendum has ZERO to do with closing the gap. If I thought it was I’d be on a soap box everyday of the week. As I feel we need to keep building on the good work done over the past 40 years to close the gap.

    It’s a subject close to my heart. Having a voice in Canberra is going to fix… all for our brothers living in the outposts with 2 toilets, occasional fresh water an no schools or heath facility. Until we can look after all our First Nations People where they choose to live, we have no chance of getting to the majority of people happily living within the white fella communities.

    A voice in Canberra will not help that divide. Time and resilience will. Plus a BIG bucket of money. But for such a wealthy country we have to find a way to ensure we can afford it.

    A couple of billion a year spent helping our people is a lot better than a couple of billion helping other nations. In my opinion.

    A resounding NO from me

    PM Albanese refused to answer whether he supported a national treaty in parliament today.
    Pretty sad that the speaker let him get away with it. We're being treated like mushrooms.

    if you read the uluru statement from the heart... its all leading to treaty... its there in black and white. 
    If thats what its about, Albo just needed to say thats what its about. 
    His avoidance and lies and the venom of the yes campaign... are what is killing it. 
    Bringing this back to a betting proposition... I think the No campaign is long odds on. 

    Also, another bug of mine... Albo stating there shoudl be a day off if the Matilda's win the World Cup? has there been a more stupid comment ever? how would you be... small business with 5 staff and Albo gives them the day off... 

    Seriously... he's a complete Pillock.

    Bringing that back to a betting proposition... if there were an election today, who do you think would win...given the LNP's lack of popularity, in particular their leader. Have we ever been in worse hands? (dont answer, the rudd/gillard/abbot days were pretty ordinary aswell)

    Public holiday? Politicians making themselves popular at the expense of employers. They're very good at spending other people's money.

    He's grandstanding on a holiday. Public Holidays are a state decision.

    Albanese is not faction of the left . His colours are out and out left . He is the result if you want to talk about trojan horses  - a trojan horsed Labor party . Kevin Rudd was the original trojan and slowly slowly Labor is as Green as the Greens .
    If this Yes vote gets up we are good as farcked in this country

    Not much of a comment on the referendum Freo HM

    Labor and the Greens are as close as the YES or NO vote. An as Diva highlights, probably still the best option to rub the country!!!!
