Indigenous leaders who supported the Yes case at last week’s Voice referendum have written to the prime minister saying the No vote was a “shameful victory”.
Honestly I’m a pretty cynical person but even I overestimated how ready Australia was to discuss these issues. Misinformation certainly played a role in how things played out but I can’t help but think there wasn’t already quite fertile ground within our culture for it to grow. I personally think if people couldn’t really get behind the voice then treaty is going to be very tough.
