Channel 10 star Julia Morris’s Instagram post enrages opponents of the Voice to Parliament: ‘Stop shoving your political views down our throats’
Julia Morris faced the wrath of her followers on Friday after the TV presenter and comedian revealed she would be voting ‘Yes’ on the Voice to Parliament.
The 55-year-old I’m a celebrity…Get me out of here! host posted a selfie and captioned the photo, “Yeah. I’m definitely going to vote YES,” and signed it with a kiss.
Julia’s decision to vote ‘yes’ in the landmark referendum, which aims to recognize Indigenous Australians in the constitution, sparked outrage, with many saying celebrities should stop trying to influence their political views.
“You’re a fantastic Julia, but everyone gets so tired of actors/comedians etc embracing their political and social views,” said one fan.
“Every celebrity got the COVD jab shoved down our throats and now they’re all on the ‘Yes’ campaign trail. It’s getting boring,” added another.

“I’d like the people who tell everyone they’re voting ‘yes’ to tell us what they’re voting ‘yes’ for and why they’re voting ‘yes!’” someone said.
You’re supporting a sinking ship. What a divisive, racist proposition the Voice is,” said another.
One follower warned that Julia’s position could hurt her career before admitting they were willing to “cancel” her and abandon their support of the popular star.
“Celebrities should never get involved in political affairs,” they advised.

‘(It) could be detrimental to your career and support base, I wouldn’t risk upsetting 60% of the population.
“Your income and career/supporting your family should be worth more to you than making political statements, especially in this sad cancellation culture.
“I’m a huge fan, I go to your shows and love that I’m a celebrity, but just because I don’t agree with you posting politically, you lose a fan.
‘Not worth it. Call me superficial…”
Another follower agreed: “Ah no! Very disappointed that you are pushing your political views down our throats!’
A few fans tried to make fun of the situation, with one sending the star a message, “I’m a celebrity, get me out of politics,” while another mocked Julia, saying, “Let me guess, you’ve been stabbed three times.” and stands behind Ukraine too?’

However, Julia did receive some messages of support for her position.
“I’m quite shocked by all those people who are so proud that they vote no, but can’t give a good reason,” someone said.
As Senator Briggs says, not all people who vote no are racist, but you can be sure that all racists will vote no.
“I’d be so embarrassed if I voted for Pauline Hanson’s side, I’d definitely keep it myself. Good at you. Send love.’
