ANALYSIS: The referendum for an Indigenous Voice to Parliament will be subject to a national vote on Saturday, but it's been obscured by events in Israel and Gaza and Cheng Lei's release from detention in China.
As a fluoro sun slipped beneath the waves in Broome for another night this week, Yes supporters who had been banking on a late-campaign tailwind were holding their breath. The Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum – which polls suggest is all but lost – has become obscured as attention understandably turns to events in Israel and Gaza and the world steels for the potential outbreak of a broader regional or world conflict.
Many other prominent Indigenous representatives have fanned out across the country, hitting chat shows, news bulletins, pre-polls and various other platforms to promote the Voice proposal. The Yes campaign has long known it needs to gain ground and was hoping the final week might provide enough momentum to at least get support for the Voice above 50 per cent of the country.
