Its the eternal false dichotomy of "one side of a dispute must be the good guys, meaning the other side are therefore the bad guys."

Last time I looked at the count 40% of indigenous people voted against the voice, there's definitely no good/bad side in this regardless how some might choose to vilify others. We have compulsory voting as well.
