Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the Voice to parliament referendum is a “historic opportunity” for the Australian people to decide on something which won’t be “determined by politicians”.
“I believe this is an important task and is a historic opportunity Australians will be given … this is now over to the Australian people, this is something that won’t be determined by politicians,” Mr Albanese said during a media conference on Monday.
“It’ll be determined by people who run into Pat and wonder why it is this person is running 80 kilometres a day, every day, for six months and running over 14,000 kilometres, that’s the sort of commitment that is inspirational and I think it’s matched by the commitment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people themselves.”
