Albanese was met with loud applause as he delivered his keynote speech at the Garma Festival in Arnhem Land, where he told the crowd, "We can convince our fellow Australians to vote Yes" in the upcoming referendum.
An animated Albanese urged Australians to work to get others to vote in favour of the Constitutional change. "It is more of the same. Not only rejecting the opportunity to do better, but accepting that what we have is somehow good enough," he said. "I think Australians will ask themselves, how would I feel if it was the case that if I had a daughter in childbirth, she was more likely to have issues if she was Indigenous than if she was non-Indigenous?" he said."If I had a son, a teenage son, he is more likely to go to jail than to go to university.Albanese said the Voice to parliament will lift all Australians up and close the gap for better outcomes across sectors from health to education.
