The Uluṟu Statement Of The Heart

[mightyrooster]

^^^This^^^

And this is why I was reluctant to voice my opinion on here despite the fact others were telling me I should not back down and be myself. By voicing my opinion it appears I have exposed myself to other posters who now have ‘no respect’ for me. Again I respect others rights to an opinion even if it’s different to mine,

[mightyrooster]

Australia would've been in a world of trouble if the voice rubbish got up. I don't respect anyone who voted yes. They were too busy telling everyone how righteous they were by voting yes and too stupid not to see the bigger picture, well thank fuk that common sense won. the dummies have absolutely no platform to sprout their bs and when Albanese gets his arse handed to him at the next election, Australia will be able to get back on track under a liberal government.

That’s a shame as I respect everyone’s right to an opinion in a democracy even if it’s different to mine. But I guess that makes me a ‘virtue signaller’.

Thank you for your honesty!

The Yes camp seems to be having a difficult time coming to terms with their loss.
No doubt they were genuine in their belief that by voting Yes they'd be helping Indigenous people...because that's what their 'captain, coach, and ballboy' Albo was telling them.

After their loss, many including Albo seem to be blaming *everybody* else, ...No voters, the media, etc.
"Old people" got the blame...."young people voted Yes, old people voted No"....then this pearler..."there should be an age cap on voting, "old people" won't be around for long so they shouldn't be able to vote".
Also, "there should be 'voluntary voting' not 'compulsory voting'...blaming 'compulsory voting' in part for their loss.

Oh come now MR. FGS surely you are not seriously concerned about what people on here think about how you chose to vote in this referendum

I respect the right for everyone have their say. That’s what’s great about our country. I may have a differing opinion to others but everyone’s allowed to have that opinion. I don’t expect others to agree with mine but I still respect the person and their courage to make their opinions heard.

OH RT What is it about Canberra ? I seem to recall you having your own virtue signalling moments on other matters.

PS I find it amusing to see this term now being widely used on here

Oh Andy my brotha. No virtue signalling. I just call it how I see it and how it is. Always have… Always will!

Personally, I'm getting on with life as that's what you do. I didn't pay much attention to Albo through the campaign as he really didn't say much at all.
To be objective, it's fair to say that the no side are still having a lot to say too. For instance, the yes voters are woke. The yes voters are virtue signalers and should get off their high horse. The yes voters think they're smarter than us when in actual fact they are completely dumb.

I understand why the majority of people voted no. They felt indigenous people were being given an unfair advantage that other Australians were not being afforded. That's fine and I understand why they would say that. In the end I just disagree with it. I haven't come on here to rant about being on the losing side. I don't go to my fellow Aussies and rant about losing. The referendum is over and Australia has voted and we move on. That's my view. But if no voters start at me and accuse me of being dumb and only interested in being a virtue signaler whatever that's supposed to mean like it's some sort of put down, then I will speak up for myself and counter that.

It’s just like that camp to not accept defeat. Same mob that live by the rule ‘it’s always some else’s fault’.

LOL fair enough and after all it was myself who initially came up with the virtue signalling comment. I’m happy to see this term is now being used by others here.

PS Don’t ever change

I am making a point Andy, maybe not very well. Ray comes in and says he has 'no respect' for any yes voter, which no voters duly applaud. The point is it was hard to have a reasoned debate about the issue when the debate inevitably resorts to base level personal comments like that. The debate was good at the start until some came in with their predictable abusive put downs. I'm not personally offended because I find it childish and a stupid way to win an argument. That's the point I'm trying to make.

So you can clearly understand the meaning of this term

virtue signalling

noun
DEROGATORY

1. the public expression of opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one's good character or social conscience or the moral correctness of one's position on a particular issue.
   "it's noticeable how often virtue signalling consists of saying you hate things"

So you hate virtue signalling. I guess that makes you are virtue 'signaller' yourself then.

Lol...what was that you were saying before?
