The real issue at this year’s indigenous voice referendum is a question of principle: Will we abandon the egalitarian nature of Australian democracy?

Will we, in other words, join the crackpots of history by introducing into our Constitution the concept of racial preference that lies at the core of this referendum? Or will we defend the ideals of liberal democracy that emerged in revolutionary America and France?

We are being asked to give one racial group – and their descendants for all time – constitutionally guaranteed additional influence over all areas of public policy. If you tick the right race box you would gain political influence exceeding that enjoyed by every other Australian.

Some have argued that the voice would be merely symbolic; a benign way of showing solidarity with indigenous people by giving them a say on matters that affect them. Others have described it as a path to empowerment.

But that’s not the real story. This referendum is not about reconciliation. Nor is it about symbolism and being nice. It is about establishing a new institution of state that would permanently change our system of government.

It would require us to abandon equality of citizenship by giving constitutional standing to a race-based entity that could go beyond indigenous affairs and involve itself in all public policy debates.

Just a small thing, but in one of their Twitter replies yesterday, the AEC spelt "you're" as "your".

So unprofessional.

The AEC social media kiddies may be tech-savvy, but they seem to be lacking other competencies.

During the last Federal election I thought that some of the AEC's replies on Twitter seemed to me to be written by smart alecs.

It may be that Labor has never won an election without cheating and they don't know how to win without cheating. Everyone knows they are liars and beholden to the Communist unions. None of them has ever had a real job and has no idea of our cost of living or the work it takes to create a small business and keep it going.

I am not saying other parties don't cheat too, but Labor has done it better and is getting better at it all the time with help from criminals and the Communists.

If your name is on the roll at every election site in a state, and there is no cross-checking, it would be a simple matter to travel from one site to the other and cast a vote multiple times.

I had assumed that they cross check, after crossing out your name in PENCIL, that you hadn't committed that offence.

When they say that its "incredibly rare" is that an assumption or a fact?

I assumed that these people had brains that worked.

Wrong on both counts.

Thanks again, James. Early voting at least in South Australia has the no vote ahead. However I am as cynical as some of the others thinking that this is just to lull us into a false sense of security before they twist and move the goal posts yet again. I keep praying for God to let the truth be shouted from the rooftops and give us what we need rather than what we deserve.

I feel like this referendum vote will be akin to Joe Biden's 'most popular president ever' with an 80 million vote count win... The Yes mob in conjunction with the AEC's lax rules doing whatever it takes to get it over the line?

Thanks again, James, for alerting us to this disgraceful unprofessional behaviour of the AEC. Honestly, it’s just impossible to ‘keep the b&@*%#ds honest. It’s just so corrupt. Real Machiavellian stuff. The confusion will cause those of little brain, thanks to the covid training, to dither away their vote. I’m afraid mankind isn’t very intelligent. Now we know what God has to put up with! This is just a human vote in temporal affairs but what of putting your Yes or No aka ✅ or ❎ on eternal life?!

Oh dear, it’s all so exhausting…

If you think the fix is not already in on this vote then please wake up.

Konnech is in control of the count and we will see on election night that the yes vote scrapes through in just enough states to win even though 60% of people voted no.

They did it to Trump in 2020, 2018 and they want to cheat again in 2024. If they don't they won't win a single state. Konnech gets paid heaps to work it all out for the cheating to look as normal as possible and they do as good a job as can be expected, but even so the data makes it obvious that they did cheat after the polls closed on the night after telling honest workers to go home and start again in the morning, while the cheaters came back and worked all night to catch up.

You know, I’m hoping that God exposes them before, during and after the vote day. But whatever happens we can trust that God knows what He is doing. He uses evil against itself and to the blessing of His faithful children. He will not be mocked. Little Albo can jump around like a circus clown all he likes believing the delusion that he is in total charge. Silly little man.🤓 We don’t have faith and trust in what man does but God, well, He is the supreme Creator, all powerful and infinity times cleverer than satan and his evil father stupid delusional followers. We will only get through this evil era of human history by never taking our eyes off our God. Check out 2 Kings 6:8-17 where Elisha and his servant seem to be alone. The God in these verses is the same God who is with us now. It helps us put things into perspective. For me personally, our Lord knows that I sure need to do this!

It’s a spiritual battle- Australia as the great south land of the Holy Spirit vs a country controlled by the spirit of pagan creation worship.

I used to love this country, and know that it was passably honest Now it is so corrupt from the top down, that the pleasant contentment has gone.

Funny that ever since the use of crosses in voting was banned by the AEC, the use of crosses has been used more than ever by the Yes Campaign to illustrate what voting 'yes' doesn't look like (in other words, what it might look like if you would rather vote no) and what not to do is you want to vote 'yes' (in other words, what to do if you want to vote no).

Of course, lies, deception and confusion are all hallmarks of the devil. We know that that's how he works. But we also know how the power of prayer works too. And we know that we have a God who is far greater than Satan! Praise God for that!

Keep praying that this vile referendum will be defeated, knowing that God answers the prayers, not of those who choose to cheat, but of those who do the right thing. "For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil." Peter 3:12

Yes, Heather. They think no-one sees them cheating in all the ways they do but Someone sees everything and He’s the one that counts and has the real power.

TV news shows the AEC in far flung communities helping Aboriginal people how to vote with a barrage of YES signs at the door, no NO signs anywhere. Hardly unbiased!

The MSM stops conservative from having free speech. Very frustrating and evil.

the entire thing has been biased from the get go, from schools advising kids and parents how to vote etc, there is hardly any collateral out there promoting the no campaign, but there is truckloads of expensive wasteful yes collateral everywhere you turn

It has been already, but that won't be applied unless the yes vote wins.
