ns overwhelmingly support a proposal to create their own representative body to advise Parliament and have it enshrined in the constitution.
“I’m certainly confident that Indigenous Australians will overwhelming be voting ‘yes’ in this referendum,” Albanese told reporters in the city of Adelaide. He said his confidence was based on opinion polling and his interactions with Indigenous people in remote Outback locations. “What has occurred during this campaign is a lot of information being put out there — including by some who know that it is not true,” Albanese said.
“Many Aboriginals have never heard of the Voice, especially those in remote and regional Australia who are most in need,” Mundine, an Indigenous businessman and former political candidate for an opposition party, told the National Press Club. Australian Electoral Commissioner Tom Roger on Tuesday visited Indigenous communities on the Tiwi Islands off the Northern Territory's coast. The islands have a population of around 2,700.
