The No vote was racist
I would like to take issue with what Fr Frank has stated in his article about the Voice.
The statement that “The NO vote is not indicative of a racist or stupid nation” is factually incorrect.
For the past 8 weeks or so, Door knocking, Letterboxing and standing at Pre-polling booths in the Port Stephens electorate it is of general consensus from all who stood beside me that a majority of voters in general were either from mildly angry to those who were objectively hostile.
We received threats of violence, intimidation by big burly tradies towards a 16 year old volunteer. On one occasion one of our female volunteers was bailed up outside the Polling Centre. He would not go away. He ended up in the bank next door waiting to have another go. I stood beside this lady for half an hour until he left. One man got right in my face and said ‘The Uluru Statement of the Heart ‘ was a declaration of war against the colonizers. Started yelling as to why it was so..
I could give another dozen examples.
Frank, It’s Racism, Indifference and Ignorance!!.
Also where were the Churches who destroyed culture. NOT SEEN.
