Reminds me of the Self government vote here in Canberra ACT…
In 1978 a referendum on self-government was defeated, with 68 per cent of voters recording a ‘No’ vote. The federal Labor government of Prime Minister Bob Hawke set up a Self-Government Task Force in 1986 to report on the government of the ACT.
We voted twice AGAINST self government … But we got it anyway !!
