With the referendum date set, the Yes and No camp on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament have ramped up their campaigns - preparing for a tense six-week run to the polls. Those campaigning for the No vote view their task as a David and Goliath battle - but have confidence they'll win over undecided voters.With 45 days to go, Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has a simple message on behalf of the No campaign.
"We are here about building a liberal democracy of freedoms and liberties and equality, not dividing our nation by race. And I will swear on my father and mother's grave that I will fight this, and I will be out there every day."She says with Indigenous MPs, there is no need for an Indigenous Voice to Parliament.
A separate push against the Voice is coming from those who want a Treaty at a national level between the federal government and Indigenous Australians. Former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull knows all too well the difficulty in achieving a successful referendum outcome."Listen, let's be honest, Referendum's historically are very easy to beat, right. But you'll never, you'll never make the change unless you have a go at it. "
