The “Yes” campaign received nearly $50 million more financial donations than “No” side in the Voice referendum held in October 2023.
The recent publication of Voice to Parliament referendum returns by the AEC reveals the 'Yes' campaign received four times as many donations as the 'No' movement.
The Voice to Parliament was defeated in October 2023 with the No vote receiving 60 per cent compared to 40 per cent for Yes.
