it's rather odd to see them all concerned about cost - because it would seem if one sits and thinks through a little over a cuppa, that the risk of huge costs is far greater from a no vote than a yes vote.

the words for the referendum are there for all to see. the vast majority of constitutional law experts say that it's benign and very low risk

but, what isn't discussed much is the risk of voting no ------------- and IMO, the unknown pathways after being denied basically redefines 'numerous' ------

to me, it will be a black mark in Oz history to deny a group who have merely asked for a say - that is not going to go down well for future negotiations, it will be a stinging arrow that can be shot in any claim, argument, debate - and it could be easily used to sway international pressure - which in this modern era is very real.

So real in Oz's case because a lot of major mining projects involve aboriginal nation lands ------ and foreign companies.

that one alone spells Risk - biggly

In my first post on the voice, of which I have no real investment personally - I said that Oz may well rue the day it votes no, if it does.

I've now seen the no arguments and the yes arguments - I see no reason to feel any different about that statement

we wait

cheers pinot.... the cost of voting No! will be counted in lives imo.

and in international sanctions against a perceivable racist country, in the loss of trade. in international condemnation.

but as they say "who gives a ***k"
