Recently, some campaigners have expressed concern that this referendum is a"once in a generation chance" for Australians. One listener asks if an unsuccessful referendum would mean that constitutional recognition and an advisory body to parliament “will fade from the culture?”
Tanya Hosch, Torres Strait Islander woman and yes campaigner, says a no outcome would be “damaging for the morale of the country” but would not eliminate the aspiration of constitutional recognition. Liberal senator and Arrente woman Kerrynne Liddle contends that the voice proposal is “putting those two ideas as if they are one” and supports opposition leader Peter Dutton’s call to have a referendum on symbolic recognition if elected.
