The Voice Referendum: The Aftermath

Now that Australia's attempt to be nice to indigenous people was roundly defeated, a look at the reasons it failed and the behavior and culpability of all involved. Particularly the media - who were happy to complain daily about how the public never understood what the voice was, yet never offered to help explain it to them, despite widely supporting it and being the main conduit for that very public understanding it. Also how the architect of this failure - Labor leader Anthony Albanese - got away with it. The redundant populist right press screamed for his resignation and the whole country went, yeah, nah. Also the damage Liberal leader Peter Dutton has done to himself by owning the NO vote.
