First ad for yes vote on Indigenous voice asks all Australians to talk about referendum

The first ad campaign to encourage a yes vote in a referendum on an Indigenous voice to parliament is an emotive pitch targeted at everyday Australians from different walks of life.

The ad campaign comes alongside a national consultation with constitutional and public law experts about the form of words in the proposed amendment to the constitution and the wording of the possible referendum question.

Meanwhile, one city council has announced it will train 1,000 volunteers to help spread the word about the voice and the upcoming referendum.

The minister for Indigenous Australians, Linda Burney, responded in an interview with Sky News on Sunday.
