Thanks for the timely reminder that my local pharmacy in Clifton Hill is more worried about their profits than the health care and services they provide to our community.
I’ll be finding me a new pharmacy.
Victoria’s Aborignal leadership is asking you to vote yes. To vote yes for change. To vote yes because you get better outcomes when you listen.
#voteyes
This is all the referendum is about.
These simple words, which will finally recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the Constitution through a Voice.
A bit more door knocking this afternoon in Coburg. Really positive vibes, Australians in their homes are supporting the voice bc they know the simple thing, you get better outcomes when you listen.

Shameful lack of leadership & overt support for homophobia from the North Terrace
@gomvfc
. “Inclusivity” and “non-interference” on homophobic chants is not avoiding “political and social opinions” tolerance. It’s permitting bigotry.
Ashamed to be on the terrace.

I am and can’t wait to write yes on 14 October.
Hit me up if you’re interested in why I’m voting yes. Always up for a respectful conversation.
#voteyes
Me with this legend at the amazing Now and Forever concert. This kid gets the simplicity of the question before us “we can’t change the past but we can change the future”.
And that is what yes to recognition, yes to listening and yes to better outcomes will do.
#yes23
When Australians enter the ballot box later this year. The decision before them is do you want to listen to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices?
It will be up to every single citizen to agree or disagree with that simple proposition.
I know I’m voting yes.
Door knocking with these legends in Cairnlea. Heaps of yes voters also heaps of people keen to hear more information. And when they read the simplicity of the referendum question - recognition and listening for better outcomes.

“It’s a simple proposition. It’s about recognition. It’s about listening. The vast majority of Aborignal people support it because they they know it will lead to better outcomes.”

Neo-nazis at the no campaign “rally” in Melbourne today.
There’s heaps of reason to vote yes, one of them I didn’t think of before today was to ensure you don’t park your vote with neo-Nazis.
#votesyes
You cannot condemn the abuse directed to Stan Grant on the one hand and let Dutton’s dog whistling and misinformation on the Voice off the hook without being hypocritical.
Dutton is giving a green light to racists to be racist.
#auspol
So there were two rallies.
One defined by hope.
The other defined by Nazi attendance.
If you are unsure what to do with your vote on 14 October please reach out. Ask any questions you might have. There’s so much misinformation out there.
#yes23
The no campaigns deliberate and trumpian plan based on fear.
Contrast to the yes campaign that based on hope and a desire for a better future.
I’m confident Australians will see through this and vote yes bc they know you get better outcomes when you listen.
#voteyes
The campaign to sink the Voice has instructed volunteers to use fear and doubt rather than facts, and to not identify themselves upfront as No campaigners but instead to raise reports of reparations to Indigenous people, leaked recordings show
No’s “legal arguments” are designed to stoke confusion and misunderstanding, they aren’t based on solid legal analysis. It’s a deliberate and disingenuous tactic. And it should be reported as such.
@thomasmayo23
@pjlogue
Now that the Law Council of Australia and the Solicitor-General have strongly supported the referendum's wording and proposal, media must portray the No campaign's legal arguments as baseless and not supported by the national experts.

This is extraordinary, extraordinarily reckless and harmful.
Treating LGBTIQ community as a political football, then having the media do an 3 page puff piece that frames the person propagating hate as the victim.
Give me strength.
By all means, it can be the job of journalists to “ventilate” a controversial issue or person, by challenging their views with facts in the public domain so people can consider their argument.
But uncritically repeating incorrect, inflammatory views isn’t journalism. It’s PR.
Comment: The legal consequences of the current Indigenous voice to parliament drafting are hotly disputed and therefore the ultimate powers and impact of the constitutional amendment are a guess.

The misinformation campaign by “fair australia” on the legal “risk” created by the voice referendum is quite something when you compare it to the considered opinions of Australia’s top lawyers be it SG, Law Council, retired HC justices like Hayne and French or Brett Walker.
Not going to repeat the content but the state of the no campaign is belatedly coming to light.
They are deliberately spreading heinous lies based on fear and misinformation. It’s now starting to come to light for the public to see.

It’s my birthday on Monday. Amidst this lockdown I told my dearest family how much I miss going to the cafe and the pub to play games. They brought it to me tonight. Lockdowns are tough but your loved ones are the best.
It’s an invitation to listen, to see better outcomes achieved. And it’s an invitation all Australians can say yes to when they enter the ballot box later this year.
I’m proud to say I’ll be voting yes. If you’re unsure find out more.

Wow. Peter Dutton has gone full Trump on the Voice. His contribution in parliament today should be repudiated and in time will be remembered as a moment of shame.
Misinformation, fear-mongering and deliberately seeking division on a reform designed to unite.
Shame.
