"Politicians make decisions on behalf of the population because they're less susceptible to lies and fear campaigns.". ...... ahhaheheheha crikey reaper...., what a joke mate. they live on lies and fear campaigns. it's how elections are won or lost.
as I wrote above, the Aboriginal committee asked for constitutional placement. Albanese made a promise to them to fulfil their request and this meant a referendum.
on "representative democracy" we don't have much of that in Aus.... be that as it may be, parliament debated the referendum. Albanese asked for bipartisan support knowing the Voice was coalition policy. the LibNats refused and began their attack.
