What are your thoughts on the referendum outcome?

1) Josh.

It’s disappointing that the propaganda of voting no has skewed the views of the majority of Australians.

2) Robert.

I think the money spent on the referendum could’ve been spent a lot wiser.

3) Joy.

$400 million is a lot of money to be spent on trying to divide the country when it could’ve been used to benefit those in need.

4) Eden.

I’m disappointed in Australia as a whole. Voting no has already impacted indigenous cultures greatly.
