Context comes from prior threads, this is a very, very serious issue which should not be taken lightly.

It's about a recommendation for a referendum to restore direct funding to local councils after a high court change to the federal government spending laws.
No, what you found is just one msm (main stream media) pushed idea, ie, what they want to push to the public.... there is so much more to consider.
Please re-read my post more carefully and relate back to the facts of the prior referendum and other posts on this subject on this list.
Kind Regards AndrewM

If you want others to become interested in your cause you'll need to do better than a rant and a footnote telling the reader to go and do the leg work. I suggest at least linking to fmb (fringe media and blogs, I just made that up!) that extol why this is such a serious issue. From what I've seen so far (your rant and the first google result) it's not an immediate cause for concern and when it finally does come up the public will give it proper scrutiny. Here's why I think that: * Australians vote this sort of thing down by default unless good justification is given, * A vote won't be happening before or during the next election as the current government has made efforts to delay it, * As there is another important referendum issue in the pipe line, recognition of the Aboriginal people in the constitution, this change will likely take a back seat until that is formalized. So I suggest linking to some relevant media resources so those readers that are interested can bring themselves up to speed. Edward
