Some interesting data analysis here. I’ll pose the same question as the author:

…by majority vote, Australians have made clear that a constitutionally enshrined Voice to Parliament is not how they want to respond to these crises.
An urgent question emerges — what is?

Probably hard to determine but I'd love to see proportion of no voters vs Murdoch news viewership. I feel like every other correlation could probably be tied to that variable.

From what I understand the no campaign focused on social media rather than traditional media. Probably cause they knew Murdoch was already good to go.

I didn't see a single No ad on television. Yes ads were everywhere though, all over tv (murdoch channels included) and even youtube.

Well I didn't see either a TV add for either side. I did heard a lot more 'Don't know vote No' than anything else. I'm not sure anecdote is particularly helpful though.

Anecdotes is all we have. You never saw yes advertising, I never saw no advertising.

Voting in Australia is MANDATORY... that's not how it should be, I voted what I voted because I don't give a fuck, I'm uninformed and hate the government... in my eyes I vote to save myself a $200 fine, it's basically blackmail...

Sounds like the opinion of someone who's never been blackmailed before.😅

I fully support you voting like that, and I still think mandatory voting is better than optional.
