A landmark referendum backed by the government would give Indigenous people constitutional recognition and greater say on legislation and policy affecting them.

    Despite their opposing views, Foley, Mayo, Finlay and Grayl agreed that a majority “no” vote on the referendum would be irreversibly harmful for Indigenous rights.

    This is my reasoning for voting ‘Yes’. The Overton Window is too far to the right in this country and the racists shouldn’t get another win. There’s nothing to lose and something to gain by at least ensuring that the Indigenous get an official, non-binding say on policy.
