Who bloody knew if the model was correct? No one. There was no template. No one had a clue. But the moderates etc said blah, blah. “Have a go” is these Aussie’s motto & what they bleat. Well 60% didn’t. It’s what Indigenous people wanted.
What they wanted! And the good ol’ Aussies said “No”.
60%.

Every time the government accepts money from the gambling industry, it increases its debts to companies whose business models are based on preying on young and vulnerable people, and doing them harm.
