Misinformation and insufficient preparation wins the Referendum.

A beautiful day to have voted yes. As did a couple of others in our household including a teenager's first vote! He took it very seriously. He read about it. He lectured us! He gets it. 😁 #VoteYes #DemocracySausage

I didn't invade & colonise Australia 230 years ago. I didn't kill Indigenous landowners who had lived on & cared for these lands for at least 65,000 years. But when I #VoteYes , I will be part of today's Australia. One that wants to listen & repair harm & recognise what's true.

A #VoiceToParliament can't bring about reparation payments. That needs MP support & legislation, Federally or locally (like Victoria has already done-and the sky has not fallen).
But a Voice can advise. That's all.

Getting better experienced-based advice from local, rural & remote Indigenous Australians will reduce waste from programs that were well-intentioned but lacking in expertise.
That's why I will #VoteYes on Saturday.

Wouldn't you want local experts advising Parliament on things that are important for you & your family?
That's all First Nations Australians are asking for.

All State Governments but WA, plus the Northern Territory, have *ALREADY* committed to their own Treaty paths with Indigenous Australians.
Predating & separate from #Referendum2023 .
Don't listen to the misinformation.
Vote to #Recognise , #Respect and #Listen .

The detail describing the #VoiceToParliament results from legislation 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 all parties help to create & agree on that detail.
But only after the #Referendum2023 votes to place it into the Constitution.

It's a very rare chance for us, citizens of Australia, to so directly influence closing the real gaps between Indigenous and non-Indigenous lives.
It's in our hands to make the lives of First Nations people better.

This is the question for next week...

"A Proposed Law: to alter the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.
Do you approve this proposed alteration?”

It's pretty simple isn't it?
I'll #voteyesplease

A vote to support the #VoiceToParliament isn't making a radical change.
It's just helping out a mate using a method we already have.
Plus it's Respect, Listening and enshrined Recognition of Indigenous Australian peoples.

#TheVoice is divisive?
What about the Real division in Australia. The one between the health and wellbeing of Indigenous Australians compared to non-Indigenous Australians.
Let's bring equity to this unbalanced situation. #VoteYES23Australia #VoteYes #VoteYesAustralia #auspol

The #VoiceToParliament is just about Recognition and Listening.
Don't be misled by the noise or distracted by fear & outright misinformation.
The #Referendum2023 matters to Indigenous Australian lives & that outcome rests on your vote.

If you don't know, don't give up & let an angry hater get in your head!
This isn't the U.S.
Find facts. Seek the truth.
Give misinfo the flick.
Put in a bit of work & you'll find the truth.
Just Google 'voteyes'

Simplifying the pathway to advising Parliament is one part of the #VoiceToParliament .
The other is overdue recognition of the Indigenous people living in Australia when Europeans colonised it, declaring it empty.
Both are small steps but very important for us to grow as a Nation.

No is old.
It's negative. It's harmful. It's destructive.
It's failing First Nations Australians.

Write 'YES' to recognise, Listen Unite, Help and Build.

I'm Voting 'Yes'.

Why #VoteYes for the #VoiceToParliament ?

Because I've been asked to. Because the reasons for it are right. Because I'm part of the majority. Because it will bring change. Because it won't harm me, my family or our future.

We're currently excluding, & thus harming, a very special part of Australia from Constitutional recognition: the lives & many peoples of the world's oldest continuing living culture, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

It's not risky or divisive to recognise all Australians in a 122-year-old British-endorsed Constitution for the first time.

It's just bloody overdue.

92 very simple, very straightforward words that can finally add proper recognition of Australia's First peoples to our Constitution, written. In a very different world from a time gone by.

It's easy. It matters. It's up to you Australia.
