Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has described the Voice as an 'outstretched hand' ready to be grasped by Australians.
Voice referendum to be held this year.Australians have an opportunity to show their best qualities, fairness and generosity, by supporting the First Nations Voice to Parliament this year, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said.
Mr Albanese reflected on the successful 1967 referendum, when 90 per cent of Australians voted to remove a constitutional provision that said Indigenous people would not be included in the census. Mr Albanese confirmed he was open to "improving" the draft wording which he proposed at the Garma festival more than six months ago, but stressed no member of the Opposition had suggested any alterations.He accused the No campaign of "drumming outrage [and] trying to start a culture war", something he described as the "inevitable consequence" of attempting to achieve change.
