My Exclusive Interview with the ‘Yes’ Campaign
All your questions answered.
Me: Isn’t the Indigenous Voice to Parliament racist?
You: Here’s Shaquille O’Neal
Me: But seriously, I don’t understand how giving a small group of people extra powers in the constitution because of their skin colour is not racist.
You: Here’s the PM and the Teals posing for photos with “Yes” written on their hands
Me: Ok. So you’re ignoring my point about inserting race into the constitution. Tell me this then. How will members of the Voice be appointed? I mean, won’t we just end up with a bunch of Indigenous elites sitting in Canberra on the taxpayer teat?
You: Here’s Paul Kelly
Me: You’re not answering my questions.
You: Here’s Tom Gleeson
Me: Seriously? Tom Gleeson?
You: Fine. Here’s a Qantas plane with ‘Yes’ painted on the tail.
Me: What will the Voice cost taxpayers annually?
You: Here’s Cathy Freeman
Me: How will the Voice make a difference when $30 billion a year to Indigenous organisations hasn’t?
You: Here’s Michael Long walking from Melbourne to Canberra
Me: Isn’t the Voice just a first step to treaty? And won’t that cost millions and millions of dollars?
You: Here’s Jonathan Thurston
Me: Constitutional amendments become lawyers’ picnics. Won’t the Voice end up having a whole lot of decisions challenged in the High Court?
You: Here’s Adam Goodes
Me: Seriously. If the Voice is consistently ignored and whether this may lead to a legal challenge.
You: Here’s Cate Blanchett
Me: Will the Treasurer be expected to brief the Voice on what’s included in an upcoming budget?
You: Here’s Evonne Goolagong-Cawley and Ash Barty
Me: It seems like you’re relying entirely on emotion and celebrity endorsements to sell this thing.
You: Here’s John Farnham
Me: It’ll take more to convince me to change the constitution than a John Farnham song.
You: Here’s MC Hammer
Me: It’s a big ‘No’ from me.

We don't talk about social atomisation, do we? Most of us would be hard pressed to define it. Yet it is reshaping our society in ways we barely acknowledge — fragmenting our communities, eroding our connections, and leaving us isolated in the midst of billions.
