Everyone else in Australia voted "No" so you might feel alone.
How do you feel that your vote is only worth half compared to those that live in one of the Six States?

@KiwiBird Feel proud that we got it right in Canberra.

@CindyK So you should. Just a shame the Territories don't count as States in the Double Majority regime of a Referendum. Ashamed to say in my electorate the no vote was almost 80%.

Hi from South Australia.

@KiwiBird Hi over there. What is the general feeling in SA about the result?

KiwiBird · 36-40, F

@CindyK South Australia was supposed to be one of the possible 'Yes' States at the start of the campaigns. The longer it went on people were questioning what the 'Voice' was and of course there wasn't a descriptive answer. Even local Aboriginals were questioning how could 300 distinct Aboriginal Nations could be represented. The lack of Bipartisan support killed it. No Referendum question has ever been passed without Bipartisan support. Where I live close to 80% voted No....Red-necks abound so here they couldn't really care.
