Reject Government propaganda Vote NO in the Voice referendum

 Voting NO to the government’s referendum to amend Australia’s constitution is not something for which anyone should be pilloried. Far from being racist, a number of prominent aborigines have voiced their convictions that the Voice referendum is rubbish. Shadow Minister for Indigenous Affairs Jacinta Price has accused Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of getting Australians to vote 'Yes' on a referendum he doesn’t understand.

Ms Price’s comments come as debate surrounds whether the Prime Minster has read beyond the cover page of the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

“If the Prime Minister had actually done what he was supposed to do and read the fine print and understand what the proposal is then he might have a slight clue as to what it is he is trying to argue,”

ne of northern Australia's pre-eminent spiritual leaders and civil rights activists wants the nation to know why he's planning to vote No at the upcoming referendum on a Voice to Parliament.

Reverend Djiniyini Gondarra is not following any partisan political campaign.

What difference is the vote going to make he asked. "As a leader of my nation and my church  I say: Voice is not going to make a difference," Dr Gondarra said.

Protection from Government propaganda?

  Attempts to prevent the spread of false information are long overdue. However the Australian Government’s Bill should only be supported if if it covers all the deceptive propaganda spewed out by Government. We all remember the nonsense peddled by Ministers and bureaucrats over Covid 19 and The Voice referendum – all designed to panic the community and force compliance with the official line. The Government says that its Communications Legislation Amendment (Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2024  aims  to reduce the spread of seriously harmful misinformation and disinformation on digital communications platforms. However, it is unclear if the Bill will operate in a manner compatible with Australia’s international human rights obligations related to freedom of expression. The definitions of misinformation and disinformation are not clear and create uncertainty. The Bill introduces transparency requirements for certain digital...

Bass Coast Councillors should be personally liable for their mistaken decision

  Bass Coast Shire councillors should be held personally liable for any costs resulting from their decision to reject an application by Heidelberg Materials to widen Stanley Road, Grantville, It seem likely that ratepayers will face a huge bill to defend Councillors’ decision at VCAT. The road widening has long been a requirement of the planning permit previously issued by the Shire and was approved by Shire planning staff as well as DEECA. Rather than make ratepayers foot the bill, councillors who refused the planning application should be personally liable. All councillors other than Jan Thompson, who had the sense to vote for the application should pay every cent.

God Save the King

 With King Charles III and Queen Camilla in Australia, it's time for some to take a reality check.It is tiresome of the ratbags in the Republican movement to persevere with their flawed campain.   In 1999, Australians went to the polls to decide in a referendum whether to become a republic or to retain the monarchy. The result was clear, On the question of being a republic Australia said NO. Here's a post I put on this blog onSeptember 28 2022 Rabid members of the Australian Rupublic Movement and some politicians keep trying to revive the flawed concept of dumping the monarchy and turning Australia into a republic. The Australian Government talks about holding a referendum to gauge popular support, but before that happens, proponents need to explain what type of republic and how this country will benefit – will it cut the waste of taxpayers dollars? Will it be more democratic? Unless the answer to both those questions in “YES” why spend money on a system that offers no be...
