say the cause is far from lost as internal polling shows the No vote is softer than the Yes vote, and about a quarter of voters are undecided and could be wooed by a short, sharp campaign., as well as research conducted separately by federal Labor and the Yes23 Campaign, all come to the same conclusion that the outcome of the referendum was, a source said, “still very much up for grabs”.
Just 27.9 per cent of No voters were as sure of their intention, while 23.9 per cent were considered “up for grabs”. “I don’t plan to announce the date at Garma because that’s just in a couple of weeks,” Mr Albanese said. “There is still an avalanche of money being provided by woke public companies, woke foundations and billionaires,” he said.
“I believe that it is a step in the right direction,” she said. “No one’s claiming that it’s going to end inequality and disparity, but surely, we have to [try] something that comes from Indigenous people themselves.”“In some instances, the key measures were getting worse, not better, so it’s not a question of money, it’s not a question of politicians coming up with policies, it’s a question of giving Indigenous people the franchise to make decisions to implement policies that will work.

Mr Pearson’s comments come after the NT Attorney-General Chansey Paech says he was working with communities on plans to restore alcohol in a manner which would satisfy both the government and the community. “Some of the community leadership is not good – they don’t face up to the fact grog is killing their people,” Mr Pearson said. “I’m yet to see a responsible drinking outlet in an Aboriginal camp.”
