Because I believe that it's playing into the confusion for some people. And so, then they're leaning toward that, and I'm going say it on air, that campaign, that stupid thing, if you don't know vote No, I don't like that. And you know what? I know that there are people out there that don't even necessarily know, with specificity, what it actually means. I'm Indigenous myself, I'm from a very strong, very proud Aboriginal family and also personally very, very much in favour of the Yes vote. HAYES: Prime Minister, you mentioned Glenorchy, and that's where my family all derive from, the Scotney family. And they can vote today, anytime between today and October 14. And I sincerely hope that Australians vote Yes. So, can we just have a non-binding advisory committee, so that we can have a say about matters that affect our lives? And it's a gracious and generous and modest request. And they're asking, saying, we want recognition with a bit of substance. PRIME MINISTER: And secondly, it's just about the request of what form of recognition Indigenous Australians have asked, because it's come from them, it hasn't come from politicians. But it's a matter of showing respect and acknowledging our history didn't begin in 1788 when Captain Phillip arrived that Sydney Cove there, it goes back 65,000 years. Because this is an opportunity to recognise the first Australians in our nation's founding document, something that every other former colony in the world has done.
