Yes came very close, much closer than the Polls suggested.

Surprising given the crap economy.

Well the good old boys who abused my sister can now down another Crownie and their wives can escape their nightly beating.

Basically Albanese's brainfart has now been confirmed. The 'No" vote gets up.
Yep. Either a brainfart or political arrogance to think he could propose it like it was and expect it to happen. Really, it should be the end of his political career to be honest.

It shouldn't have any impact on his political career. He made a promise to act (run a referendum) on the question of recognition and a voice, as put forward by the Uluru Message from the Heart - admittedly at a time when the Libs had been supportive of the notion and process.

That changed, and Dutton say what he thought was a chance to score political points from opposing. The people voted, and the result is theirs (ours) not Albo's. He was not head of the voice campaign - nor should he have been. Albo was true to his promise.

And Dutton will be surprised (disappointed) that this referendum result has no bearing on any party politics bounce for him in the polls when it comes to government elections.

100% disagree here Albo wasted tax payers money on this referendum he needs to take a big part of the failure on his shoulders.

Dutton will probably score some points now and use it as ammo going forward..
