I'm going with Marcia Langton.
I'm going with 83% of Australia's First Nations People.
I'm not going with Peter Dutton or those liars from The Australian.
I'm voting YES.
Who's with me?
#VoteYES#VoteYesAustralia
Absolutely SPINE-TINGLING.
Let's do this, Australia.
Let's vote YES.
How good will we feel the day after to have turned the page on a new, better, era!

I am overwhelmed at the response to this post and it has given me more faith in the #VoteYES campaign 💖
I think I have followed everyone back and anyone who replied or reposted. If I've missed you, please let me know.
Time to get back on the campaign!

2 days ago I made this tweet, genuinely, in support of my belief and support for #VoteYES23Australia 🖤💛❤️I am happy so many others feel the same.
Since posting thanks to a right wing troll re-posting, my replies have become full of #racist hate filled vitriol toward others.
Pat Farmer is a truly remarkable man. Get behind him Australia. He's currently in Melbourne, so he will be heading to regional Victoria tomorrow. #yes23
In 1965, Charles Perkins took some Aboriginal kids to Moree pool. But, a council bylaw banned Aboriginals.
A clash ensued, and angry white locals confronted those trying to overturn the ban. In 1965.
We need to listen to, and walk together with indigenous Australians. #VoteYes
Got a funny feeling about this Voice vote @kevinbonham I think the polls and the betting agencies have it wrong. I think there is a very quiet majority for Yes that the polling is not picking up. But I have no rational reason for thinking that, so we will see.
I shouldn’t be surprised by the amount of personal abuse being thrown at those of us who support the Yes Vote, but I am. Racist, ableist, body-shaming…all of it. Just for supporting a voice. Perhaps it’s happening on both sides.
It’s not gonna stop me though.
@adamhillscomedy The same. Just shocking, disgusting stuff.
We are however, still bright-eyed and persevering because I think that's what many of them desire - to scare us away.
Be better, Australia.
Dream big.
Be on the right side of history.

Paul Fletcher got it wrong. The Australian women at the Qatari airport were not strip searched - they were subject to an internal examination. FYI Paul Fletcher - that means a vaginal examination you effing fool. Far more traumatic. #afternoonbriefing
@BlairWigley Guess what Australians; your votes (and bugger all of you voted this way) gave this idiot a 6 year stint in the senate - that is $211,250 per year for 6 years, or $1.2675 million - all I can say is what a bloody waste!
I'm voting Yes and exposed to "No" vitriol. As an Indigenous man, this has ramped up recently, but I've spent a lifetime dealing with it, so I am quiet thick skinned. Sometimes I need a recharge. Thanks @troycassardaley needing this right now #yes23 https://t.co/nqxL9hRJrd
@TonyHWindsor He will also appoint himself Commander in Chief of the Army, Air-Vice Marshall in the RAAF, Admiral of the Blue for the RAN, Lance Corporal in the SAS, and 2nd Lieutenant (in charge of latrines) in the Commandos
We need to unite on here to face & counter the onslaught of paid foreign actors interfering with the discourse on the Australian Voice referendum.
The media is not on our side.
So if you're #VoteYES, I want to connect & follow you back.
Reply & RT for a bigger reach!

@brettis1ok @RobertCawood2 This is not evidence - this is simply repeating a lie - Thomas Mayo is an Indigenous Australian (Kaurareg Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) - and the post you are showing is rubbish....
