Hey Australia, all I want for my birthday is for everyone to #VoteYes in the #VoiceToParliament referendum. Nothing says happy birthday like constitutional change!
Australians will hold an October vote on a proposed law to create a so-called Indigenous Voice to Parliament. The legislation is aimed at giving the nation’s most disadvantaged ethnic minority more say on government policy.

My sustainability class just finished a module about disinformation. I had them write me a letter assuming they were flunking and arguing that they deserve an A, using the techniques of disinformation we discussed, like cherry picking, false experts and ad hominem. HOO-boy. 1/n
