This morning I announced my resignation as Senator for Western Australia, effective from 26 January 2024. Regrettably, my recent treatment for cancer means that my health, although slowly improving, has left me physically unable to continue as a Senator. It has been an honour.

Today I urge all Australians to Vote Yes. So then when we look ourselves in the mirror tomorrow, we see a proud and compassionate nation reflected back.

Yes moves our nation forward in a positive, constructive way. The outcome of the referendum is in your hands Australia. There’s nothing to fear and all to gain.

Casting my vote today is the privilege and honour we all have as Australians. We hold the power to determine the future we want for this country. We hold the power to improve our relationship with our First Peoples - to recognise them and to give them a Voice. Vote Yes.

This Saturday - will we give Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples a seat at the table by voting Yes? Or will we leave them to pick up the crumbs that fall from that table. The Australian people must decide.

This was my last press conference before I got sick. My message is still the same - Voting Yes at the referendum is about forging a better relationship with our First Peoples. We need all Australians.

I keep hearing ‘you have lost this, you may as well lay down and die’. I don’t believe that. I believe Australians will look at this on the day and say, ‘well this is a decent, honourable, good thing for us to do.’

Constitutional recognition through a Voice has the support of most Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. To say there is some other form of recognition worth pursuing instead is to do what we have always done - to tell First Peoples what we think is best for them.

As a nation we must take this opportunity to recognise our First Peoples. We cannot leave this task to future generations. I urge all Australians to respond to this referendum with love, trust and kindness for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

Referendums are simply about voting on a principle. The principle is whether we should recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as our First peoples… Saying Yes to this principle is a good and honourable thing to do.

Over 97% of Australians are enrolled for this referendum, the highest number of all-time. Australians care about this vote. The Voice will do good things for our modern democracy.
