In arguably the most high-profile Indigenous endorsement, Freeman has recorded a minute-long video message imploring Australians to “show our support for Australians who need it the most”.
Australian sporting icon Cathy Freeman has thrown her weight behind the Voice referendum and will be used by the Yes campaign in promotion leading up to voting day on October 14.
“I can’t remember a time when change has felt so urgent. When momentum has been so strong. From small towns to big cities, something is in the air. I know all Australians feel it too,” she said. “To stand together … to recognise Indigenous peoples in our constitution for the very first time, to give our kids the very best start in life, an equal start in life. And to open our hearts and change our future.
Freeman, 50, is best known for her 400-metre gold medal winning a race at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, at which she wore a famous full bodysuit.
