A great AFL player explains why it’s important to #VoteYES23Australia #TheVoice

"If you vote Yes, you will be walking with us" Indigenous Australians from across the Kimberley have come together with a simple message: vote Yes. #yes23

The #VoiceToParliament is a simple and safe proposition. It’s about recognising the uniqueness of First Nations history in Australia. ✅ It’s about ending wasteful spending. ✅ Vote yes on 14 Oct and help make history. The nation has nothing to lose. It’s that simple. #Yes23

@belinduhpyne What kind of ars*hole scours the Twittersphere randomly offering their BS reckons on women they don't know? Oh wait... sadly we all know!

I’m 36, in a long term relationship, I work full time so I’m unable to be drunk every night, I hate cats but I do like Paul Keating. Ya failed!

@SachaCoburn Hey Timaru Rotary; you ok with this?

Ask your friends and the people you work with. Are you enrolled to vote? Let people know how to get enrolled. Offer to help them. Offer to drive them to a booth. It’s way too soon to give up.

@strangerous10 Is the document Sen Pocock holds up, the 'power map' in the public domain yet? Is likely to be in the material avail on the Aus Parl. inquiry webpage?

Barbara Pocock accuses KPMG CEO Andrew Yates of Lying after he insisted KPMG does not engage in Power Mapping, Pocock stumps with a KPMG Power Map💥 showing special rships with PS & their ratings. “You said you did not do it!” “We are sick of the cover ups in here!”🔥#Estimates

@dbseymour So your 'Treaty' Act doesn't mention the other party to the Treaty? Who's it with?

@MichaelWarbur17 This, and Smokey Robinson's Being With You, were my intro to 'soul'/RB back in the day...

@LeoMolloyNZ Oh look, Leo's looking for attention again...

I just heard a Green MP on the radio arguing that anyone with more than one house should be legally made to rent any other than their primary residence out. This is the politics of jealousy & envy, at an extreme level. Surely if you own an asset you decide how it’s used & when, you are after all the owner, and presumably you’ve worked to earn the money to buy that asset. Using their warped logic you’d argue that if you have two nice motors you’d be required to lend one to the young punks down the road to do a roadie to Queenstown, or so they can go ram raid the local dairy with it. Ditto if you own more than one of anything, including planes, helicopters, boats, or a bach at the beach. It’s hard to believe that 14% of the voting public subscribe to these politics of envy, but that apparently is our modern world that we’ve evolved into, don’t bother working any more kids, just take the assets off those who have

@RebeccaJEmm I don't doubt you're youth adjacent, I do doubt Ms Stanford ever was.

I am once again youth adjacent! But only if the youth is Erica Stanford.

@StrayDogNZ @_chloeswarbrick One of the smartest politicians in Aotearoa, sadly, having to debate one of the most foolish. Swarbrick is her usual calm, clear, articulate self, Seymour is doing his DebSoc routine.

Chlöe Swarbrick: There's a lot of fascinating similarities between the ACT Party and NZ First isn't there? The force of personality that is their leaders for one and the fact that there are definitely some interesting policies that are race-baiting, divisive and otherwise.

@SimonRaiwalui @ricsalizzo you won't have missed this, but, um, ouch.

“…we f*cking shouldn’t have lost to Fiji” and why is that? …let’s not take away from the fact Fiji played really well…greatest day in Fiji Rugby…nothing against Fiji’s performance…but…but…but… It starts to get a little condescending…do our young men deserve that?

@PronouncedHare Or a rural law centre?

It seems to me, albeit from my non-Aboriginal world view, that the 'debate' on the Voice is harmful and not least of all to Aboriginal people. I have such admiration for the bravery, wisdom and expertise of Dr Westerman AM. Her voice, her deeds and experience are clear! Vote YES!

@TracyWesterman Thank you Dr Westerman, you are a consistent, clear, expert playing such a critical role and I imagine it can be exhausting.

As a clinician of 25 yrs with 100% Aboriginal clients I will tell you this. Many stolen generations ppl are outwardly successful & live with debilitating trauma everyday. Trauma is internalised very often -flashbacks; Re experiencing trauma etc etc Many trauma victims end up committing suicide due to the debilitating nature of trauma symptoms including a sense of disconnection from others-so they bury their symptoms further. This current rhetoric of portraying trauma as some kind of personal weakness we need to “get over” ain’t helping that realty

@WilStracke Oh perfect response! Your message is clear, the words, the delivery, the face. Hang on to those f*cks to give when you damn well feel like it.

In light of the torrent of feedback from no supporters to my various #Yes23 posts and videos, it seems a good time to again address the question that seems to come up most frequently.
