Vote Yes to an idea that comes directly from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people themselves: Constitutional Recognition through a Voice.

The Yasuní referendum, however, provides some hope within a bleak scenario. There is a transformation underway, driven by the younger generation, Leo Cerda insists. ‘This is a vote, ‘Yes’, for our survival, ‘Yes’, for life, ‘Yes’, for nature, and ‘Yes’, for future generations.’Linda Etchart weighs up the consequences of this referendum, investigates the eight presidential candidates’ opinions on the matter and spotlights the arguments of the Kichwa Napo Resiste campaign who advocate an unequivocal ‘Yes’ to shut down oil extraction, with no caveats. We’re due a home win over Sunderland albeit you have to respect the quality of the side that Tony Mowbray, who is a manager I have a great amount of respect for has assembled.

The idea of a Voice has been decades in the making. Many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have put in a great deal of hard work and goodwill. Two different polls have shown 80-83% of Indigenous Australians support it. However, the yes campaign and the Labor government are continuing further outreach to Indigenous communities to explain the concept and the referendum. The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, said on Monday “the yes campaign needs to be stronger in putting the case”.

Not sure which is the best option for you?

We can’t solve all the challenges Indigenous Australians face overnight. We need action now, as well as planning for the long term. With less than two weeks to go and early voting already underway, the Yes campaign needs to be urgently going after the young soft Nos, according to Mr Samaras. There's an opportunity for you to share what's going on for you and experience what it's therefore like to be in a group. Equally, you can just join us with no requirement to speak of course to see how it feels.
