Comments by "Philip Rayment" (@PJRayment) on "'No' campaign’s focus on Voice ‘fundamentals’ the reason behind poll popularity" video.

@ianenglish123 "think the majority of Australians wish he would just go away." Yes, perhaps so, given the demonisation of him by the mainstream media. "He was a total embarrassment even in Europe and England." Except that he wasn't. Or perhaps you could provide evidence to the contrary? I know that the left hated him (which suggests that he actually did good), then you also had England hiring him a few years back. They must have thought he do well.

@tannerpayne4384 "Here are the two simple facts of the YES campaign, " "Indigenous peoples lived in Australia long before the British arrived (everyone knows this)..." Depending on how long is 'long', yes, I'd accept that as factual. However ... "... so it makes sense that they be included in the founding document of the country." That's an opinion, not a fact. Facts tell you what , not what . But if you want another , it's a that they mentioned in the constitution, right at the beginning, where it refers to "the of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, and Tasmania, ...". Unless, of course, like some former evolutionists, you don't really consider aborigines to be people? "And the Voice is ONLY an advisory body, anyone trying to say otherwise is misinformed or trying to lie to you." That is debatable. Yes, technically, it's only an advisory body. But one which Albanese said would have enough power that no Prime Minister would be game to go against it. Further, it have some power, and the High Court might decide that it has more than what it ostensibly has. "The panel is formed by elected indigenous elders, ..." Who elects them? "...who will advise the government on how policies and laws might be affecting indigenous peoples." Which could involve just about any policy or law, that affects non-aborigines also, but for some reason the rest of us don't get our own special 'voice'. That's discrimination, and on the basis of supposed race, i.e. it's racist. I'm sorry that you attempt to defence such a racist proposal. "Hope I helped" No, you didn't, I'm sorry.

@brave_penguin "The constitution. The most important document in the land?" Yes. "It says "the executive power of the Commonwealth is vested in the Queen and is exerciseable by the Governor-General as the Queen's representative, and extends to the execution and maintenance of this Constitution, and of the laws of the Commonwealth." Section 61. As a patriotic and egalitarian Australian I think we deserve better." What could be better? It has certainly served us well so far.

farkthenwo5477 "There is a reason he was removed" Of course. But was it a good reason? Or leftist attacks?

@Tyronepeader "The mad monk...raving lunatic-Right maniacs..." Yet again, the left name-calling instead of using rational argument. At least it make it easy for sensible people to stick to their views when that's all the left has.

@ianenglish123 "his own electorate woke up to his antiquated, hypocritical ways." That is not evidence, but more abuse. But then I guess that's all you have. Which reinforces sensible people's views that the left have no actual argument to make.
