Fantastic! Excellent to see. Both Dawn and Jill bring a wealth of experience to the table. Definitely what NZ needs now more than ever.

Who the person behind the account above or the person who's going to vote in Australia?

Anyway to me the Voice is one and the same package as transgender. There's a big attempt going on to change us and they're both a part of it.

Hi Richard, Sarah usually admins our Substack, Michelle our Twitter and YT, and Di will also soon be running Twitter with Michelle.

Hey Richard. Michelle here. Far too much volunteer admin for just me alone to carry when there are other talented and capable women in MWK.

For the most basic of practical reasons, my vote will be no. While there are far too many Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peoples that have not been involved in the initial consultation process, I cannot in good conscience vote yes to something that purports to support them, while wholly ignoring them at the same time. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Kia ora.

Good to hear Michelle. Clearly the agenda, whatever it is, of the Voice is not the enabling of equity in regards to Aboriginal (& Torres Strait) people of Australia.

Wonderful news. Slightly restoring my pride in my birth country. Sock it to em, women. Unfortunately, though I'm a dual citizen I haven't resided long enough to be eligible to vote anymore.

I'll tell my Dad who he must vote for!

It worked okay for me when I clicked on it, but I have re-loaded the link, so fingers crossed it works for you, too, now.

Hi Sabine, their website person has come back with this question -

"Did Katrina give any information about the error message? It'd be helpful to know what the message said, which page it was on, or the URL that Katrina was trying to load."

Would you be happy to engage with them directly if I gave them your email address? If so, can you email that to me, please? Otherwise, I'll try and go-between with messages :-)
