Albanese's voice campaign turns nasty

The appalling comments directed by Voice architects towards Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price and millions of Australians saying No are a window into the divisive, elitist nature of Albanese’s voice campaign.

Vote no to an advisory board. Brilliant.

[@jlandles]

​@@bobboo101But, of course that's not what it is, is it? It's a constitutionally created advisory committee. It does not take a referendum or a change to the constitution to establish an advisory committee. Canada, Norway and New Zealand all have such a body and did not require a constitutional change to get there. Constitutions should not be changed unless absolutely necessary or unforeseeable legal consequences can be significant. Governments have sufficient power to create these bodies already, and as other countries demonstrate, when those advisory councils share bipartisan support they tend to endure. The real upset is that these projects are not desired by a majority of Australians, and this fact can usually be suppressed by politicians or the media establishment. The polls reveal how unconvincing the majority of Australians find the identitarian obsessions of the ruling classes.

[@platypups]

​@@indiathylane2158I should hope so. Have you stepped foot in a university recently? I had a lecturer say without a trace of irony, in full credulity, that the communist revolution was coming within the next five years. Every single one of them spouts it, ignoring the millions upon millions of deaths communism has directly caused worldwide, still blithely insisting "oh, but real communism has never been tried", as if the only flaw has been method of delivery and not that the ideology itself is extremely flawed. Almost everyone in the yes campaign is a devout Marxist. And it's not something I would have believed as either prevalent or a real threat until going back to university as a mature age student two years ago. Yes, there are Marxist "elites" trying to wrest control, and yes they do infiltrate our political parties and our universities. It's where the rise in woke has come from. The yes campaign is entirely emblematic of these serious issues, as it seeks to defame and discredit anyone with hesitations about the practicality of such a referendum as either stupid or a racist, as per Marcia Langton. Never mind the fact that the yes campaign is entirely dedicated to dividing Australians based on race and constitutionally enshrining this division so that it cannot be challenged going forward. This is standard Marxism and it's a greater problem than you are perhaps conceptualising.

Price gave a clear NO when asked if she thought any Indigenous people were suffering the negative impacts of colonisation. Such an answer was like a red rag to a bull from her well-known attackers Linda Burney, Historian Henry Reynolds, and the Guardians Lorena Allam Jacinta Price’s National Press Club address on the Voice was a ‘masterclass’ where Price clearly laid out why a YES Vote would cause further division in Australia. There was never any doubt speaking the truth about colonisation on ABC's Press Club would spark controversy But she made it abundantly clear to those who want to hear the truth the "Yes' campaign is flawed and based on lies."

The Tribesmen have never called for a divided Australia. But then the one voice we have not heard from is the tribal elders voices, let's hear them, all of them we can use interpreters. So far all we hear from are Politicians and academics with little more than a distant heritage and a claim over land rights that they actually have no claim to by virtue of their own European heritage. They want truth telling let's start right there. I'm a born and bred West Australian who has schooled with, worked with and worked in a Department that focussed a great deal on the special needs of Tribesmen in remote communities. I also have a native American heritage, my great grandfather fought at the Battle of Little Big Horn, he was a Teton Lakota, I'm not a racist, I get what having pride in heritage means. The Voice is not being sold as heritage. What we have is a fabricated claim by 940,000 people to being Aboriginie whilst ignoring the desperate needs of the remaining 44,000 tribal Aboriginies who share none of the limelight beyond show and tell, they are the only Aboriginie's. I watch our profoundly corrupt legacy media who no longer have any worth in our democracy shut people off from commenting as they work to ambush the no voice. It's not just comments on this American owned multinational platform, the censorship includes paying contractor's to silence opposing voices in all American owned platforms. By playing those games this government has signalled something beyond censorship, they have taken Morrison's dangerous April 2020 adventure in to censorship to a new level of controlling perceptions and that is the threshold of authoritarianism. That whole manipulating craftsmanship of thought must be soundly rejected and that requires a NO ! Now can we talk about something far more important and a topic that causes ones finger to point at the whole dragging out and absurdity of the Voice narrative as being nothing more than a media circus distraction. Since the rollout in April 2021 we have some 40,000 excess deaths and with that a 10.7% increase in deaths of 12 to 28 year olds, the later group more specifically males were the most vulnerable to Myocarditis. There has been a lot of research findings of late and many are confirming disturbing invitro studies data from as far back as June 2021.

Interesting...I am still waiting for my copy of the AEC booklet to be delivered. What gives? Australia Post in on the Yes campaign?

[@boitmecklyn4995]

i got mine, skimmed through it, and chucked it out cos i already was gonna vote no.

[@BelloBudo007]

Nailed it!!!!!

[@Jeff-ty4oi]

Very well said very true not a slurred word and straight to the point and so spot on the whole labour govnt should be holding their heads in shame after that truth speech thank you keep it coming..

[@justmemimi7338]

It is disrespectful to think that we are so stupid, we’ll be swayed by virtue-signalling famous people. It is also disrespectful to ask Australians to vote for differential democracy. Either we are equal,or we are not. It is time to move forward as a mature, unified nation. (Though I wouldn’t be averse to some auditing of NGOs … where has all the money gone?)

[@rh6789g]

It’s not disrespectful to point out the truth. Sadly you’ve been misled by Dutton’s no campaign of lies.

[@justmemimi7338]

@@rh6789g wrong. I’ve not listened to a word he has said about it, or much else, for that matter. I dislike him.

[@platypups]

​@@rh6789g once again you fail to present an actual argument to support your claims, instead resorting to ad hominem attacks. Do better, you look ridiculous.

[@kensandilands3490]

Thank you Senator, common sense at last, Thankyou.

[@gardengnome3249]

So am I racially stupid or stupidly racist?

[@johnmac333]

Well said , Claire !

[@johncoyle777]

This is helping to sink the referendum! I plan on a meal with friends the Saturday after the referendum, if the NO vote wins as I expect it to!

[@Josma432]

That’s a good idea. I’ll be celebrating when this bs is laid to rest too.

[@shanedwyer4881]

Well said.

[@hendrikriedstra7857]

Thank you Senator Chandler, you have spoken on behalf of the majority of Australians. You, Jacintant Price and Warren Mundine tell it as it is, I like all Australians are not prejudices againts the first nation, but we would like to know where the billions of dollars have gone every year, who is reaping all that money.

[@KeepItSimpleSailor]

Well said 👍🏻

[@user-co2ds3ox5u]

Tell it like it is 👍

[@andraskovacs5247]

thanks for stsanding up for us Aussies !

[@patrussell8917]

Much attention and finance on asuspect cause Public resent being told how to vote without being surrounded by advertisements and celebrities urging for Yes vote Thanks for speaking up loud and clear

[@robertthomas3777]

Albo and his cronies should step down, resign and go if this fails.

[@williampalmer6712]

The whole Labour Goverment who voted yes should be sacked and all benefits removed.

[@Beatriz-lj2td]

vote NO to voice.

[@CanberraProtest-dm6hu]

Well it's backfired massively. I am hoping that people never trust or vote for the Labor party ever again who in the past, I only voted for Well spoken senator. Thank you for giving us a voice in parliament ❤️‍🩹

[@gcujimmy]

I was a lifelong Labour (yes with a U in it as I was born and grew up in Scotland but now an Australian citizen.) voter but with the weasel Albanese trying to bamboozle the population with his ridiculous " only a modest change" garbage it is doubtful if I will ever vote Labor in the future. I will be taking a pen with me to vote NO in the referendum.

[@Josma432]

Same here. Supported Labor since I met Bob Hawke when I was 16. The charisma was real, and I loved his love for Australia. This blithering idiot I sadly voted for last election needs to go.

[@Craig_Tucker48]

Both sides of the political isle are bad. It is elitists looking to to gain short term quick benefits so they look good now, regardless if it harms in the long run.

[@georgehoyn916]

yes, they like to muddy all issues suggesting they are better than others

[@jacobfenwick5865]

Well said Senator. 👏

[@christinehede7578]

Well said and well spoken young lady.

[@mr2981]

Brutally and perfectly put.

[@Tyt55]

Yep totally agree, vote NO. I want to see a forensic audit showing where all the tax payers indigenous funds go and to whom!

[@day1678]

Please respect our intelligence: we, the public, are not dumb, and do have a brain. How can anyone vote for a Voice that divides and not unites? We are one; and lets move on as One People.

[@kermitthehermit9588]

I’m not sure I agree with you there. The public seem pretty dumb.

[@gustaaf1892]

Well said, although Senator Chandler might have also made reference to the complete lack of substance by the ALP in explaining the Voice in her final statement.

[@60shippy27]

Bravo! Avery clear view from the No voice. She hit every note perfectly, speaking to all Australians old and new. Speaking of New Aussies, why are they being asked for Rent? as they will be when they move on to Treaty.

[@marionkapp9577]

Hear, hear!! Exactly what we think and exactly how we feel. Well said! Thankfully we do have articulate, commonsense people to be 'the voice' of concerned Australians who want the best lives for all of us. Thank you

[@rodsloane706]

And it's also gaslightiing writ large.

[@Want0nS0up]

I am voting NO to Albanese’s apartheid.

[@swissmaid]

Yes! Well said! Say NO TO THE VOICE!

[@timwilson4684]

Great speech to parliament Claire Chandler - we know what you have said is 100% truth - that is why we are VOTING NO.

[@geoffreywilliams9324]

I will vote no, no, no . . Not ever.

[@RiverDanube]

So when do I see this referendum booklet produced by the AEC? This has just been a waste of time and money. Sure, it keeps politicians in work but the rest of us have better things to do.

[@0Zolrender0]

Nailed it.

[@MrJudgementday99]

The funny thing is that a vote for yes is either racist or stupid. It would divide the country by race and anyone that doesn’t believe that is stupid

[@Ashergbonl]

Brilliant

[@rh6789g]

That’s the equivalent argument to an 8 yo saying “I’m not, you are!”

[@platypups]

​@@rh6789gtry addressing the argument point-by-point rather than flipping it and doing exactly what your comment says. Let's go through this one by one, shall we? In what way is dividing Australians by race not racist? And in what way is not seeing the clear racism in dividing people by race not stupidity? Explain your position.
