We are Australians from South Africa. She should have learned the “affirmative action” lesson already but she hasn’t. I was born in Mozambique and had to flee in 1974 from there and later from South Africa yet if she had a vote, would again vote in the affirmative

This is not similar though, Aboriginal % of the population is nowhere near enough to have that sort of impact. What is going on is that Aboriginal "emancipation" (from what exactly?) is being used to bring democracy "to heel".

Did you have something to say on this?

If so, it didn’t come through.

I have just voted. There was a push at the end for Yes,

by some celebrities wanting to be politically correct.

They have wasted their energy on complaining about the pens.

They say if you write your vote in the pencil provided it leaves

you at risk of your vote being changed without your knowledge!

They say…”Remember, always vote in pen because these pricks

will change it” …. “Make sure these clowns don’t cheat”
