Even if the Yes campaign had produced the best possible campaign, it would have still lost once Peter Dutton decided to place personal politics above the national good.
And donât forget that a lot of the work for the Voice and the Uluru statement had been done under a LNP government with bipartisan support. Dutton voted No to a policy largely developed under a government of which he was a minister.
There was like a decade of bipartisan support to the voice, until Dutton tried to use it as a wedge to win votes.
Didnât the LNP voice support end under Turnbull, who immediately declared the Statement of the Heartâs request for a constitutionally enshrined Voice a third chamber of parliament and shut the door on it?
Any referendum that Turnbull js involved in or supports is basically doomed

I know things like this shouldnât be politicised, but the LNP deserve to have their actions regarding Bruce Lehrmann hung over them for eternity.
Possibly wouldâve been better for the (alleged) victims that he wasnât named until after the trial.
Yep. Thereâs a familiar feeling about all of this.
Just wait for another mistrial and the victim to be deemed unable to endure another trial so he gets to maintain his innocence again.
Has anyone actually asked Brittany Higgins whether she wanted to pursue another trial or not?
Yeah I never got the straight of that either. I would assume sheâd have been consulted but thatâs giving the justice system a lot of credit I think.
Itâs easy to believe that Ms Higgins wasnât emotionally up for another trial given all the scrutiny she was under. I reckon she could be empowered to try again, though, in light of this development.

Woooooow, Iâd have put good money on it being an NRL player, what a twist!
My ânot convicted of sexual assaultâ t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.
Or as heâs known down at the pub, Bruce âdefinitely not a rapistâ Lehrmann
