Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is set to deliver a rallying call to Australians who are undecided about the Voice, urging them to vote to end the cycle of disadvantage for First Nations people. ElizaEdNews 9News MORE HERE:
"I say, 122 years after Federation, half a century after the referendum in which Indigenous Australians were counted, more than a decade after extensive processes were established... if not now, when?
"In New Zealand's case, that was recognised in the 19th century. In Canada's case, in the 20th century. This is something that is for First Nations people, but it is more than that. It is something for all of us to be lifted up... He did, however, implore the No campaign to engage in a more honest debate and to "talk about what people will be voting on" rather than diverting the discourse onto areas the Voice would not cover."I am particularly disappointed that people in positions of leadership who know... exactly the consequences of what they are doing, who should know better, are prepared to prioritise what they see as a political advantage," Albanese said.
