This was my last press conference before I got sick.
My message is still the same - Voting Yes at the referendum is about forging a better relationship with our First Peoples.
We need all Australians.
Australia, Balgo is voting Yes! And wants your support for Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander recognition in the Constitution
Let's embrace our ancient wisdom & cultures, & listen to them, because our nation's diversity is a strength 💚💛🇦🇺✨
@yes23#voteyes#recognition#voice
Referendums are simply about voting on a principle.
The principle is whether we should recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as our First peoples…
Saying Yes to this principle is a good and honourable thing to do.
“Cathy Freeman: ‘I’m voting yes, and I’m asking that all Australians do too’
“Olympic legend Cathy Freeman is urging her fellow Australians to give young Indigenous children an “equal” chance at “the very best start in life” by backing the Voice referendum in a rare foray into politics for the sporting icon.” The Daily Telegraph. ❤️💛🖤/💙💚🤍 @yes23au #Yes23
“I believe Australians will look at this on the day and say ‘well this is a decent, honourable, good thing for us to do’.
There’s a decency in Australians that I’m hoping and confident…will come through.”

The No campaign claims the Voice causes division. In the crowd walking from Redfern Park today, I saw love, respect and unity. 😊 🖤💛❤ #WalkForYes#Yes23#VoteYES
