They wanted to make a change to our constitution, and it was causing a lot of tension and division between the Vote Yes and Vote No supporters. Australian voters finally went to the polls yesterday and overwhelmingly voted No.

On a personal note, it has been very frustrating to see all the political airwaves taken up with discussing this vote for the past 3 months, when the number 1 issue here in Australia right now is how much the massive cost of living increases are hurting everyone bigly.

Also its estimated the campaign just cost taxpayers half a billion dollars - which is a sickening waste of funds, especially with the hospital crisis etc we are currently facing.
