We proudly display a ‘Yes’ poster on our house because we believe the Voice will deliver positive change for all Australia.
Today we received an anonymous typewritten letter alleging we support a communist agenda and should move to China. The writer asserts we are victims of media and government propaganda and misinformation, but then dives straight down that very same rabbit hole.
The writer, (we have the man on CCTV), provides links to three videos.
The first, by John Anderson, claims our Indigenous community have benefited from colonisation, that they are over-represented in government and implies they have been served better than other Australians. Anderson says Europeans should bear no responsibility and it’s ‘activists’ who are stirring division.
It should be obvious to all that the Coalition are the ones fomenting division for political gain. Does anyone seriously believe they would deliver beneficial change for the most disadvantaged members of our community? The status quo serves them very well.
The second video is predictable conspiracy. It confirms that almost all Australia’s top 20 companies back the Voice, yet then claims it’s a communist plot, a security risk. It talks about the KGB, critical race theory, pseudo history, and how Australians will be forced to pay rent.
The third video is Peta Credlin’s discredited lies on Sky News, alleging 26 pages, reparations, treaty and the ‘real agenda’ behind the Voice.
This is fear-mongering propaganda at its most hateful, focusing on fabricated consequences while completely ignoring the reality that the Voice is merely advisory, with no veto power, and that parliament makes all decisions.
Whatever happened to the Australia of my arrival 43 years ago? Whatever happened to critical thinking? Why are so many of us untroubled by such punching down?
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
