    Exactly, and when the question posed was open to so much interpretation everyone has their own idea of what they voted yes/no for. It wasn’t like the “gay marriage yes or no” referendum that was clearly understood by most people. Such a mistake to call it “the voice”. Isn’t that a TV show?

      the “gay marriage yes or no” referendum

      Small nitpick: it was a plebiscite - not a referendum. Our marriage laws aren’t contained in the Constitution, so a referendum wasn’t required.

      Haha, it was a mistake to call it the Voice. I’m waiting for the Got Talent commission to get going.

      Unfortunately the nature of the constitution meaned that it needed to be a bit vague. But that was always one of its strengths. Over time, as life changes, the nation isn’t codified into too strict a system. The Voice reflected that essence very well.
