Further Effects of "The Voice" debate

[old man emu]

I heard today (25/09) that support for the Yes vote is eroding. I don't think that is because of the advance of the No vote. I think it's because of people getting bored with waiting to vote. No doubt the majority of people have made their decision, and the numbers of those who haven't won't greatly distribution of votes either way. I'd say the undecided are a very small minority.

 

Let's face it. Society has a very short attention span. Either that, or people settled on their response early in the campaign and want to move on to what actually impacts on their lives - things like cost of living, honesty in government. You know - all the things at the bottom of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

Can't we do more than one thing at a time? WE ARE lazy. Eventually we will decide just because we can't be bothered thinking about it. IF you don't Know Vote NO is designed for the can't be bothered thinking. It's all too  Hard. It will probably FAIL but it won't do our standing in the world much good if we point a finger at anyone else for social Injustice in the future. It's NOT a win for Dutton nor is his campaign much to be proud of.. Nev

What"s this? There is a vote?

I thought that was last week's news

Oh well, I'm off to the pub.

[nomadpete]

O M E, the widest foundation that Maslow's hierarchy pyramid rests on is labelled "Is the pub open yet"?

 

You have to scroll right to the bottom to see it.

We have yes posters everywhere, but no no posters. Shows the power of intimidation. No one is game to put up a no poster, even though the majority will vote no.

 

 

[facthunter]

Perhaps they don't have the courage of their conviction?   Nev

I saw one ' person ' taking those posters down & putting them in the bin , whilst I watched he stopped, then restarted after he thought I had moved on .

Who gives those ' bill poster's 'the right to deface a person's business property.

The topic is "The further effects of THE VOICE"

 

Pretty obvious - the biggest further effect   has been the major boost to the advertising industry.

[old man emu]

Everywhere you can see notices saying "Bill Posters will be prosecuted". He's never faced a Court yet!

You are going back to the 60's OME.  (and only in SYDNEY).  Nev

When we were living in Ireland we went to the same pub as Will Power, who didn't have any.

[pmccarthy]

He was a mate of Max Headroom.

I would have thought that bit of wit would have turned up in Melbourne and the other major cities. 

[facthunter]

I played my Part in that. I posted HERE about 10 years ago, about it.  Nev

Back on topic....

WHO is voting a certain way and why, is often a good Indicator of how to vote. A sort of "what Have I missed" IF THEY are voting  the way they are..  Nev

Isn't it time, for a 'French Republic ' type of REVOLUTION.

Evolution is less drama than revolution. Getting media to use facts would be a major and good change. Money Talks Democracy walks.  Nev

To want to revolt, you have to have knowledge that there is something better. But how can the proletariat get that knowledge if the Elite control the dissemination of knowledge?

 

And a "revolution" without goals and aims is merely anarchy.

I am " fed up " with All this " YES " campaign properganda  ! .

Advertising is only used for the purpose of convincing people who are not thinking for themselves. If the message was simply logical, there would be no need for massive advertising.

 

Unfortunately neither side has been very good at presenting logical simple statements.

 

But the advertising industry is doing well from it.

[facthunter]

But you're not fed up with any NO campaign propaganda Spacey? You will be able to vote soon as is your right..   Nev

Yesterday we saw an echidna around the house, a meaty looking slow thing with very short legs. I'm angry that blackfellows are allowed to shoot them . Personally, I reckon the use of rifles should go with whitefeller rules, and "traditional hunting rights" should mean that traditional weapons should be used. So I would restrict blackfellows to spears, and not ones with steel heads either.

A pipedream?   Yes, but the legislation I would like to see will be more likely to follow a "no" vote.

[spacesailor]

They that win ! .

Will have Many disgruntled loser's crying into their expensive beer  ,

It didn't HAVE to be politicised but the Nats decided NO (under LITTLE to be PROUD of, before anyone  had any details about it. Somewhat PRE EMPTIVE?.  Nev
