No it’s not. In fact it’s not specifically because of the Republic referendum. People just won’t take responsibility for their laziness or inability to read a simple document.

The simple truth is that Australians are mostly racist.

Im not sure I understand your reply.

My point about the republic was that if people say no to the Voice because it doesn’t go far enough, will end up killing the conversation that could become treaty. Just like the republic conversation died with the 1999 referendum

My point is that the people who vote no because they’re gormless bigots vastly outweighs those who do do over structural concerns.

So the indigenous people telling everyone to vote no are bigots and racists?
