Source:The documents are not fact-checked, and are published exactly as they were submitted to the AEC.The official Yes and No pamphlets in the Voice to Parliament race are now available online, and will soon be landing in Australian mailboxes.
So we worked with RMIT's FactLab CrossCheck, which monitors online misinformation, to add context. Here's what it said.Claim: "Vote Yes to an idea that comes directly from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people themselves: Constitutional Recognition through a Voice."The Voice was proposed in the Uluru Statement from the Heart, endorsed by the majority of more than 250 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander delegates at Uluru.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese speaks to the media after the passing of the Voice to Parliament bill.Claim: "For a long time, governments with good intentions have spent billions trying to deal with these issues. But they haven’t achieved lasting improvement because they haven’t listened to people on the ground."Specific initiatives and projects need to be named for assessments to be made on why they "haven't achieved lasting improvement", if that was indeed the case.
