These people are so desperate to tie our politics to stupid shit overseas instead of looking at their own missteps.
Early on, when this whole thing was being discussed, support for constitutional recognition of Indigenous Australians was well over 60%.
However, when they announced that constitutional recognition would be tied to a new advisory body of Parliament for Indigenous Australians, support trended down consistently until today's result.
The refusal of the Yes campaign to explain in detail how this new body would work and be formed made people sceptical and killed any chance of a Yes vote succeeding.
The No vote was excellently led by two prominent Indigenous Australians who received death threats and actual racism because they opposed the change.
Absolute clown show from the Labor Party and democracy wins again.
But still, these idiots want to blame racism and Murdoch (who they say is irrelevant all the time) and anything but their own ridiculous proposition.
I can't see Albanese surviving a full term at this rate. He's got all the hallmarks of a one-term wonder and he either gets rolled by someone in his own party before the next election or he loses to fucking Peter Dutton who would bring his own bag of shit to the Prime Ministership.
Edit: Even in the Northern Territory, where 30.8% of the population is Indigenous, the overwhelming majority voted No (61.7% currently).
