Must be devastating to be indigenous in Australia. Even a paltry thing like this can’t pass as long as the settler/colonisers are there. I despair for them.

There was literally no downside for ATSI communities to vote yes.

Additional representation with no limitations on existing avenues of representation? Who wouldn't sign up... assuming you're included.

Why wouldn't anyone? The people it would affect really wanted it and the people it didn't affect had no real reason to deny it.

There was a lot of talk that most Aboriginal Australians didn't want the voice.
