Polling for Voice continues to deteriorate:
Support for a constitutionally enshrined Indigenous voice has fallen below 50 per cent in every state and is ahead of the no vote in only two, with the referendum now split heavily between age, education and state.
An exclusive Newspoll demographic analysis shows the yes case so far failing to secure an absolute majority in any state.
While the race was still close, the referendum based on current attitudes would fail to meet both requirements of a referendum.
Albo is doubling down, which is worst case scenario for the outcome:
Anthony Albanese has promised there will be no retreat on the referendum, declaring a constitutionally enshrined voice would bring a “new day” of unity to the nation and act as a “vehicle for progress” in tackling Indigenous advantage.
In his strongest and most impassioned defence of the voice, to be delivered at the Garma festival in northeast Arnhem Land on Saturday, the Prime Minister will invoke the spirit and vision of the late Yolngu elder Yunupingu to promote the “coming-together of two worlds”
The demographic split is telling:
Those most likely to support the voice were higher-income earners, the university educated, renters and the young.
Those firmly opposed include voters with no tertiary education, retirees, mortgagees and people who owned their home outright.
It is difficult for the fake left AlboGreens to understand why they are failing, so let me explain.
Basically, woke corporates and youth support the reform. In political terms, the alliance of the fake left and fake right are supportive.
But those who understand real left socialism are sceptical. Older people, those with homes that know its power and the working classes.
This group knows what the AlboGreens do not. Fake left values of corporate grovelling and open borders betray the labour movement during a recession.
Whether ideological blindness, deviousness, or plain stupidity, Albo’s timing Voice as a distraction from plunging living standards for the majority is a recipe for backlash in Middle Australia.
That the AlboGreens greet the anger with disdainful labels like “downward envy” is another example of the problem.
Voice is not struggling owing to racism. Nor Dutton. Nor itself.
It is struggling because most Australians want a real, not fake, labour government, regulating borders and cartels, raising real wages, and public service delivery.
The mistiming of Voice takes all three further away, and the more Albo sells it, the more out of touch he is.
