With the Indigenous Voice to parliament referendum fast approaching, campaigning is ramping up across the country in an attempt to win over undecided voters.
There’s a hard no being pushed for in Western Australia.
“If you don’t know, vote no,” Senator Michaelia Cash said.
Her view is similar to that of Northern Territory Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price
“Say no to this divisive, risky, permanent Voice,” Senator Price said.
South Australian Senator Kerrynne Liddle also wants people to mark no on their ballot papers.
“It’s the wrong path, it’s the wrong proposition, it’s the wrong model,” Senator Liddle said.
And for the official launch of the WA Liberals for No campaign, Senator Price added: “The impact is massive, it’s huge, it’s not modest, there’s nothing modest about this proposal going forward.
“We don’t need it, as a country, it’s not going to solve the problems for our most marginalised, there are far better ways to move forward and that’s what we’re here to say.”
A more supportive Senator, Foreign Minister Penny Wong in South Australia, took the proposal to a Sikh Temple in Adelaide with Voice advocate Noel Pearson.
“What is there to fear? That’s what I’d say to people who are advocating no,” Senator Wong said.
“What have you got to be frightened of?
“Australians are a fair people, we’re a decent society, a fair go for all, and I think that’s what this is about.”
After Labor’s national conference called on party members to support the YES23 campaign, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Australians will focus in the last few weeks when they have to determine whether they write yes or no on their ballot papers.
“And if they say no, then more of the same will continue to exist,” he told Sky News.
The likely date for the referendum is October 14.
That is now less than eight weeks away but both sides believe there are still millions of Australians who are undecided.
