PM’s ‘undecided Australians’ to vote Yes is a brave face of false hope.

There is a rallying cry of desperation masked as hope as the days to the Voice to Parliament referendum shorten.

Social media is now riddled with curated images of crowds waving ‘Yes’ flags and high profiled celebrities co-opted to help get the flailing ‘Yes’ vote over the line – declaring why voting ‘Yes’ is important.

And these are the very same ‘good people’ who demonise, harass, abuse and bully ‘No’ voters and want a divided Australia.

What an honourable bunch they are.

The $100m Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has committed to dividing Australia and changing it forever, is failing to sway undecided Australians who are leaning towards voting ‘No’, if the Polls are correct.

The PM will have his own interpretation, and while the ‘Yes’ campaign will argue reform is essential for Indigenous representation and reconciliation, there are several reasons why some undecided voters are leaning toward a "No" vote.

Headline reasons like, Uncertainty Surrounding Constitutional Changes; Doubts About Practical Implementation; Lack of Clarity on the Role and Powers; Economic and Budgetary Concerns; Lack of Consultation; Political Divisions and the list goes on.

The PM has been a vocal supporter of the’ Voice’, expressing confidence undecided voters will ultimately vote ‘Yes’.

However, his assumptions disregard the undecided category encompasses varying perspectives.

The PM paints it as conclusive undecided Australians will uniformly support the proposed changes. Many however, will be swayed by arguments against the campaign, especially if those arguments address their specific apprehensions.

And the historical context of Indigenous rights and representation in Australia can’t be ignored.

Past government initiatives and promises have left many Indigenous communities disillusioned, and undecided voters, whether they’re Indigenous or non-Indigenous, will have reservations about trusting the Voice to Parliament campaign and whether it will genuinely deliver the positive changes it promises it says it will.

Australians who remain undecided remain so for a reason.

Their vote represents a significant portion of the electorate, and their decision depends on many factors, including their assessment of the campaign's merits and potential drawbacks.

The PM’s enthusiasm for the Vote to parliament campaign is clear, he’s staked both his political career and Prime Ministership on the ‘Yes’ vote getting up, however, winning the support of undecided voters requires more than assumptions on Albo’s behalf; it will demand a comprehensive effort to address many questions and that’s something the ‘Yes’ leadership continues to fail to do.

Noel Pearson’s recent speech in support of the Voice to Parliament and his attack on multicultural Australia did more to damage the campaign than what the PM will publicly admit to.

Pearson, the wrecking ball, reinforced in the minds of Australians who have decided to vote ‘No’ why their decision to do so is the right one rather than not.

And for those who remain undecided, which the PM is banking on will vote ‘Yes’, Pearson’s outburst and attack on migrant Australia, asking where they fitted in on the debate, would have not only had those who were questioning the legitimacy of the ‘Yes’ vote, lean even further towards voting ‘No’.

The PM knows the Voice to Parliament campaign has a problem, and it’s been riddled with disaster. His public bravado of confidence is a a mask of despondency.  

Pearson and Marcia Langton have been disastrous salespeople and should never have been allowed to front the cameras – that’s what happens when arrogance and ignorance dictates logic.

The PM and his advisors, and all those who are keen to change Australia forever, without explaining why they want to change the country and set it on a path of uncertainty and potential destruction, have done more to damage and divide Australia even before the outcome of the referendum is known.

A lot will need to be done to fix a problem created by self-interest and agenda.

As the campaign unfolds, it remains to be seen how these concerns will influence the outcome and Australia’s path toward addressing Indigenous rights and representation.
