It could well be argued that the ABC’s hosting of Vote Compass represents a significant mission stray for an organisation that is, after all, just a broadcaster, and a taxpayer-funded one at that. But let’s lay that aside for the moment – VoteCompass is, after all, very popular and it’s been going since 2013.
Instead let’s hone in on one particular proposition, and what it tells us about the outfit the ABC’s partnered with here (and the ABC itself).
[L]et’s look at what happens to your fit in the political landscape should you have the temerity to submit that men-who-say-they’re-women should not be able to compete in women’s sporting leagues. Just for fun, I responded to all propositions except this one with answers that coincided exactly with the position of the Greens (or what Vox Pop Labs thinks is the Greens position).
So I slipped down the progressiveness pole because of defending women’s sex-based rights? How perverse is that?
Vox Pop Labs says it ‘promotes civic engagement and democratic participation’. It doesn’t tell us it promotes gender-identity ideology, but for the sake of transparency it should. Not that that would’ve deterred Aunty from partnering with them. On the contrary. Anything for a gold star on the forehead from trans lobby ACON.
