Some interesting data analysis here. I’ll pose the same question as the author:

…by majority vote, Australians have made clear that a constitutionally enshrined Voice to Parliament is not how they want to respond to these crises.
An urgent question emerges — what is?

    Probably hard to determine but I’d love to see proportion of no voters vs Murdoch news viewership. I feel like every other correlation could probably be tied to that variable.

      From what I understand the no campaign focused on social media rather than traditional media. Probably cause they knew Murdoch was already good to go.

      Voting in Australia is MANDATORY… that’s not how it should be, I voted what I voted because I don’t give a fuck, I’m uninformed and hate the government… in my eyes I vote to save myself a $200 fine, it’s basically blackmail…

        Sounds like the opinion of someone who’s never been blackmailed before.😅

        I fully support you voting like that, and I still think mandatory voting is better than optional.
