00:02 (laughs)
00:18 - Well, we vote in yes.
00:19 The reason why, there is no reason in the world why not.
00:25 (crowd noise)
00:27 Every oppressed minor group in the world
00:35 is protesting for their rights
00:37 and the Aborigines are no different.
00:40 All they want to say is to be heard.
00:44 Simply that, just to be heard.
00:47 And to vote otherwise would be a fall
00:52 for the falsehoods that are being propagated
00:55 about what would happen if a yes vote was successful.
00:59 - Well, I vote no because I don't think
01:04 there's enough information out there on the yes side of it.
01:07 And I feel there's been so much money wasted in the past
01:12 on all of this problem and I don't feel that
01:16 this is gonna change any of it.
01:21 I do believe that there needs to be an inquiry
01:23 into what's happened with all the money,
01:25 where it's all gone, where it's all going.
01:28 And I guess the other point is that I feel
01:32 we should all be equal and on the same footing.
01:34 So, are they trying to say one race is any smarter
01:39 or any better than the other?
01:41 And why can't we all be put under the same banner
01:45 and all be treated equal?
01:50 - Personally, voting yes because it's the least
01:53 that I feel like we can give back
01:54 to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
01:56 - Yeah, I mean, it's their country
02:00 and we've already taken enough from it.
02:02 I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed
02:04 to make laws and govern.
02:07 - Have a voice in parliament.
02:08 - Yeah.
02:09 - Yeah.
02:10 - I'll probably be voting yes.
02:11 I think it's relevant.
02:12 - Why is that?
02:14 - Well, it's something that the Indigenous people need.
02:16 Yeah, so I think it's relevant for them
02:19 and it's not going to cause any constitutional change.
02:22 It's gonna make laws in place.
02:24 It's a reference, isn't it?
