Anthony Albanese joined yes campaigners on the hustings in Tasmania on Monday, declaring that thousands of one-on-one conversations between voice supporters and ordinary voters over the next two weeks could swing wavering Australians to cast a yes vote.
The survey indicates a majority of voters under the age of 34 continue to support the constitutionally enshrined First Nations advisory body sought by Indigenous leaders. About 42% of respondents agree with the no campaign’s contention that the voice will “divide Australia in the constitution on the basis of race”, while 26% say there is not enough detail about the voice proposal, 18% say the advisory committee will make little difference in the lives of Indigenous people and 14% say the voice will give Indigenous people “rights and privileges that other Australians don’t have”.
