It also went to the nature of the way that I'm answering the question. If the deputy leader didn't want that, then she should have framed the question in a less personal way.

What I do note is that, overwhelmingly, there is goodwill from school groups, community groups, local councils—all want to be a part of the historic, unifying moment. There are sporting organisations; leaders of every faith in Australia; seven religious charities, including St Vincent de Paul and the Salvation Army; minerals groups like BHP, Rio Tinto, Origin and Wesfarmers; NAB, the Commonwealth Bank, ANZ; Woolworths and Coles. All of these bodies are uniting for a better Australia—uniting in a positive way. I'd say that those people of goodwill will continue to advocate for a 'yes' campaign when the referendum is held.
