| s… as the ‘Yes’ campaign’s charm offensive continuesJames MacphersonOct 4 READ IN APP The ‘Yes’ campaign continue to believe they can persuade people to support an Indigenous Voice to Parliament by abusing them.The latest ‘Yes’ campaigner to attempt to win over undecided voters by calling them names is celebrity journalist Ray Martin.Martin told an audience at the weekend that the ‘No’ campaign’s “If you don’t know, vote no” slogan really meant: “If you’re a dinosaur or a dickhead who can’t be bothered reading, then vote no.”The audience roared with laughter and cheered.But wait, if voting ‘No’ makes you a dinosaur, does that mean you count as being here longer than 65,000 years? (I’m asking for a friend)What Ray Martin and his celebrity friends seem not to realise is that the harder they push, the more people resist. It was the same story with the pandemic … chastising and belittling anyone who didn’t toe the populist hive-mind line only served to fuel distrust.Martin started his speech saying that ‘if you don’t know the details, find out’ only to end the speech by saying …“The details don’t matter. They never did matter. They’re irrelevant.”So Martin says you’re a dickhead if you don’t find out the details and Martin also says the details don’t matter.Wait. What?And this from a former 60 Minutes and 4 Corners reporter. Little wonder the ‘Yes’ vote is tanking.ShareLeave a commentPledge your supportThe James Macpherson Report is free today.
