abc.net.au/news/no-campaigners-accused-of-spreading-misinformation/102843782The No campaign has been accused of asking volunteers to spread "fear and misinformation" and "flat out lie" in an effort to convince referendum voters of its agenda.
The script provided to volunteers encouraged them to say those who designed the Voice proposal were "campaigning to abolish Australia Day and want to use the Voice to push for compensation and reparations through a treaty". The body would be independent and would offer advice to the government on matters that affect First Nations Australians. It would have no ability to veto government decisions nor would it oversee funding.
In the recording Mr Inglis told volunteers if callers asked for details of the Uluru Statement from the Heart, of which the Voice is derived, to persuade them to head to the Fair Australia website.
