Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says Labor’s National Secretary Paul Erickson has addressed the caucus and encouraged MPs to get out in the next few weeks to campaign strongly for the Voice. “This does seem about minimising the damage in this result now,” Mr Clennell said. “Getting a vote above 40 per cent and as high as that republican result ... to spare the blushes of the Prime Minister and the government.” Mr Clennell’s remarks come after the writs were issued for the Voice referendum on Monday, locking in the date for Australians to head to the polls. Recent polling has indicated that a majority of voters will vote against the referendum as support for the Voice continues to sink.

Mr Clennell’s remarks come as support for the Indigenous Voice to Parliament continues to plummet in the polls. A survey by Resolve Strategic shows the Yes vote has dipped to 43 per cent from 46 per cent in August, marking the fifth consecutive month voters have lurched against the Voice proposal. “Some of the difficulty for the government on this issue can be put down to a lack of detail it has provided about how the Voice would work or even if its members would be appointed or elected,” Mr Clennell said. “Looks like five weeks of unfounded optimism to come.”
