Anthony Albanese confirms date Australians will go to the polls while kickstarting 45 campaign at Adelaide rally
The referendum on the Indigenous voice will be held on 14 October, prime minister Anthony Albanese has confirmed, officially kickstarting a 45-day campaign at a yes rally in Adelaide.
“You are not being asked to vote for a political party, or for a person. You’re being asked to vote for an idea. To say yes to an idea whose time has come.” In some of his strongest and clearest advocacy for the constitutional reform, Albanese described the voice as “a committee ofchosen by Indigenous Australians, giving advice to government so that we can get a better result for Indigenous Australians.” He painted the referendum as a simple and clear change that would lead to better policy results and cost savings through more efficient spending.
