While Voice supporters hold a low-key event in Sydney on Saturday evening and the official No campaign gather in Brisbane, Anthony Albanese will stay in Canberra.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will address the nation on Saturday night regardless of the outcome of the Voice to parliament referendum in a speech that will seek to knit the country back together after a bitterly fought and divisive referendum campaign.
Voice supporters will hold a low-key event in Sydney’s inner west while the official No campaign will gather in Brisbane to watch the votes being counted. Opposition Leader Peter Dutton will be in Brisbane but his office would not confirm if he would attend the official No campaign event. “We can’t just accept the status quo after October 14. We can’t let people down – the very people we asked to vote for this. We’ve got to focus on jobs and education.”
Albanese, asked on Thursday where he would be on referendum day, said he would campaign across South Australia, Tasmania and NSW on Saturday.The prime minister said he remained hopeful of a Yes result and said Australians would remember the anti-Voice arguments similarly to those made against same-sex marriage or the apology to the stolen generations.
