Anyone coming to the Referendum weekend camping orgy should probably apply for a postal vote for being "more than 8km from your electorate" that weekend. https://www.aec.gov.au/referendums/vote/postal-voting.html The site hasn't been secured yet but it's looking promising.

Dunno how I feel about an orgy meanwhile the rest of Australia fucks the first nations people. God I hope I'm wrong about that, but its not looking promising.

I am hopeful that a good proportion of people who plan on voting no for innocent reasons will start to realise they've been getting played by actual racists. It's all coming out of the woodwork this week.

I don’t share your optimism, and am massively disappointed in many people. Like the Republic referendum this is getting fucked up by specific wording and combining multiple questions.

Never stopped them from voting how Murdoch tells them in the past.
