Messaging - how WE talk about yes!

We will share a fairer and better future when First Nations people have a seat at the table and a greater say in issues that impact First Nations communities.

Australia is home to the oldest continuous culture on Earth. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been caring for Country for millennia. When we listen to each other, share our knowledge and work together, we all benefit.

On October 14, Australians are being asked to vote in a referendum to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the Constitution and establish an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.

By writing YES in this referendum we are committing to listening to and learning from the wisdom and perspectives of First Nations people which will lead to better outcomes in education, health, justice and more.

Writing YES is based on the fundamental principle that laws and policies are more effective when those who are affected by them have a voice.

History has shown us that previous representative bodies for First Nations peoples have been dismantled by the government of the day at will. By writing YES in the referendum, Australians everywhere can establish a permanent representative body that boldly advocates for the needs and aspirations of First Nations people.

Writing Yes won’t change everything, but it’s a step in the right direction towards bigger changes that First Nations communities have been fighting for. It will be up to all of us to hold governments and the public accountable for what comes next, beyond the referendum.

Recognising and respecting the knowledge, cultures, stories, and languages of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples will help us move forward from our past and progress together towards a brighter future.

Together we share a vision for the future as a nation that values justice, equity and fairness for all people.

Together, let us write YES.

I'm writing YES at the referendum because listening to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people will help us move forward from our past and towards a brighter future together as a country.

Writing YES on Oct 14 won’t change everything, but it’s a step in the right direction to win the bigger changes First Nations communities have been asking for.
