Thought we might give a weekly random thread a go for random national discussions. I don’t want this to compete with the major city daily threads, hence we will start off weekly. This is just a place to have a chat about something which you might not want to do a full post about.
With the Voice to Parliament Referendum date announced to be October 14 2023, this thread will run in the lead up to the date for general discussions/queries regarding the Voice to Parliament....
Thanks for asking for feedback. The bit about cookers is worded a bit vaguely in such a way that it is unclear whether the converse is implied, that is, every vocal no voter is a cooker or a significant portion of vocal ‘no’ voters are cookers. And to be honest I do agree with that - just look at The Guardian’s fact checking of the official ‘No’ essay, most of it was made up. It’s just that using the term ‘cooker’ is probably not the most respectful way to convey that
For anyone interested in discussing the voice to parliament itself or asking any questions about it, there is a mega thread for discussion https://aussie.zone/post/1576151
