A highly-publicised TV ad for the Indigenous Voice to Parliament is failing to persuade voters to back the constitutional reform.
The Yes campaign launched the You’re the Voice TV ad on September 3, with Australian music legend John Farnham lending his iconic song of the same name to the campaign in the hope it would help “change the lives of our First Nations people for the better”.
Pollinate found that 34 per cent of No voters said the You’re the Voice TV ad had “reinforced their voting plans”, with a further 55 per cent saying it has not influenced them at all.
