OPINION: Is Referendum question deceptive? Opinion Property/Sports/Opinion - popup ad by News Of The Area - Modern Media - September 15, 2023 DEAR News Of The Area, BY taking two different actions (constitutional recognition and the establishment of a Voice) and combining them into one question Mr Albanese has been somewhat deceptive in this referendum question. Like most Australians I wholeheartedly support constitutional recognition for First Nations people but I just can’t agree with the concept of the “voice” specifically because we have been given no details of how it is to be established and what it will actually involve. I still haven’t decided how I am going to vote but according to Dianne Hendry’s hurtful letter (NOTA 8/9/23) if I, along with many other Australians, and that includes many Indigenous peoples, vote NO does this make us all haters and racists? Talk about dividing the community. I am amazed you printed such a hateful letter. Regards, Bob HARRIS, Sawtell.
