Anthony Albanese will reboot the Yes campaign in a major speech at the Garma festival in East Arnhem Land on Saturday.
The Voice to parliament is urgently needed to tackle Indigenous disadvantage, according to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who will reboot the Yes campaign in a major speech at the Garma festival in East Arnhem Land on Saturday ahead of a referendum vote expected on October 14.
“There will be a focus in the weeks leading up to people voting, particularly in the four weeks leading up because this is an issue in which this isn’t about politicians. It isn’t about Canberra. This is about every Australian getting one vote,” he said..
“Surely, no leader can honestly say this is good enough. Surely, no leader can pretend ‘it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’. Surely, no leader can imagine that change is not desperately and urgently needed.”“That’s why, with every passing day, it becomes more and more obvious that the No campaign are desperate to talk about anything but the actual question before the Australian people. Because even they understand that more of the same is not just unacceptable, it is indefensible.
Uluru Dialogue co-chair Pat Anderson said on Friday on the ABC the debate about treaty over the last week had potentially been “really confusing for the ordinary Australian out there. It is a complicated debate”.“It will happen, those discussions, but we have not had the conversation about how this is all going to work for us. And of course as we are speaking, there are a whole lot of treaty negotiations happening in the various states.
