I got the ballot paper - and borrowed a pen from the person who checked my name off the list and gave me the paper - and wrote NO in front of him and then walked in and put my paper in the bin and they invited me to go to a booth - but I said I didn't need to.

This referendum is the biggest danger to Australia since Japan and WWII.

The enemy within seeks to destroy my country

NO

It will never be enough.

No.

I vote early to avoid the crowds.

When I voted there were four people in front of me.

I couldn't have spent more than 3 minutes all up inside the place.

Walked up, told them my name, took the ballot paper to the booth, made my mark, put the pencil back in the box on the desk, put the ballot paper in the plastic tub, and that was it.

I have almost never voted early except when I have been overseas or was at sea and have never waited longer than 5 minutes. This was the same in the city or in the country.

I did have an issue last election with people from all sides lining the path to the church hall and creating a gauntlet for voters to run to get into the building. I and others complained and they were moved away eventually I believe.

They did that to us last election.

I simply informed them that we had a bad cold....possibly the flu.

For some strange reason no one felt like coming near us after that 😂🤣😆

No , I will be away that weekend.

Voted this morning. Asked both the yes and no vote rep why ?

I noticed while there 5 people turned up and took the yes vote paper and nobody wanted a no vote sheet.

I would have loved to vote yes if it wasn't signing a blank cheque. I was undecided right up to placing the vote.

That’s a sore point for many Australians. I’m one of them.

I have a problem with name-calling and bullying to vote one way or the other. Same with the gay marriage thing - at the end of it I ended up voting NO because of the vicious attacks on others used by the yes group.

When you start off telling people they are divisive, racist, prejudiced, bigoted, discriminatory, and are killing kids and perpetuating Aboriginal deaths and such - no way in the world am I going to vote for that side of hysterical pansies carrying on like idiots.

Take note, dividie - NONE of us as individuals are 'complicit' in any social evil we do not perpetrate... buggar off. I haven't seen you change one thing since you started ranting about that nonsense - only your own underpants time after time.

How many Cheeses did you save today?

The yes side couldn't sell a hot fish meal to an Eskimo during a blizzard... they could not seriously have been trying to persuade anyone to vote yes. It's just a try-on for the heroic activists on their fattest salaries in the land so they can carry on like sheilas over their 'oppression', 'disadvantage' and our 'racism' that is keeping them back while they wallow in riches.

As for St Albo, Liberator of The Cheeses, he is/was purely politically motivated and took a clear and unequivocal and unshakeable stance of having a foot in both camps - if yes won, he was a hero - if no won, he was a hero for trying....

It's all over now, baby black and blue....

Yes-one, No-one, Asswan.... no oneder people are confused about the English language.

Careful, Smithy - you're re-lapsing into name-calling - NO votes there.... how's the ego going after the Toowoomba thing kept the ID anonymous?

P.S. My vast following on Twitter etc say the absolute opposite of some of you lot, like you and Smith and methra ... clearly the problem is with you .... you can get help there, you know.

46-37% now - she's going down, boys and your desperation is showing... try that last personal attack before you go under.. you might hit something... only Victoria (WTF is Victoria?) and Tasmania (state with the highest level of mental insanity) have the faintest majority and fading..... Victorians because they are born stupid forelock tugging Mediterranean peasants etc and Tasmanians because they haven't had direct experience with Cheeses until recently and many of those are of the Doubtful tribe.... ring-ins with so faint an attachment you can scarcely hear the bell...

Yer such a flake, Aussie..... and a poor loser....

What a load of baloney. You are so full of shit. You were saying no from the very first moment it was proposed. If you were called a racist its because you acted like one Don't go make up dumb excuses for your racism.
