Sadly, the Voice referendum is going to have majority 'no' vote regardless of Musk.

Haven't heard of it before, why wouldn't it pass? Can't believe it's that controversial...

@Kecessa There's been a massive disinformation campaign against the Voice, largely lead by the conservative side of politics and often tying into racist conspiracy theories.

The most outlandish one I've heard is that the Voice is part of a secret Australian Federal Government plan to hand all the land back to Indigenous Australians... as if any government would ever voluntarily give up its land and power. 🙄
