In the seat of Dickson, a steady stream of voters turned up at one polling place and No voters were thick on the ground.
The No campaign is confident it will secure victory in the Voice to parliament referendum, with Opposition Leader Peter Dutton suggesting a record number of Australians could oppose the constitutional change.
“He was told all year not to go down this path. If he was going to have a referendum, do it on recognition because 70, 80, 90 per cent of Australians would support recognition being enshrined in the Constitution, but he didn’t do that, and because the Voice is in there, people now it seems, in record numbers are going to vote against it.”
Bryan said the campaign had been unfortunate because “no one wants division between any race in this country, we are all equal” but Yes campaigners had been “arrogant”.
