Warren Mundine has sparked outrage by suggesting he would 'like to see' a boxer fight Yes campaigner Thomas Mayo.
Mayo did not directly respond to the video, which also included Anthony Mundine questioning his Indigenous heritage.
“Life [will] just go on for most people. But life [will] be that little bit better for Indigenous people, because we're able to be heard,” he said. "After encouraging its volunteers to stoke confusion and fear among Australians, the No campaign has now made the abhorrent leap to encouraging violence," it said in a statement.
"It’s obvious to any fair-minded Australian that Mr Mundine’s tweet was light-hearted, and that he’s the one campaigning to keep the country united," they said. Warren Mundine has previously stressed the need for a respectful debate over the Voice, insisting Australians must not "go around abusing people".

‘The Voice is a political ploy to grab power’: Warren MundineLeading No campaigner Warren Mundine says the Voice referendum is a political ploy to grab power from the Australian nation and traditional Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander peoples. “The Voice is not about whether Indigenous Australians are recognised, respected or listened to, and it’s certainly not about how to improve the lives of Indigenous people,” Mr Mundine said at the National Press Club on Tuesday. “I believe many well-meaning Australians support the Voice because they believe it will solve problems because they believe Indigenous people want it. “Sadly, I think many Australians also feel they must support the Voice because of misplaced guilt about Australia's history, but I don't think all of these supporters have grasped the path this referendum is taking us down. “I believe they don't see the threat that the Voice poses to Aboriginal traditional owners and to the character of Australia itself.”
