I refer to my previous answer on this matter given yesterday. To provide context, I'd like to acknowledge the four land councils from the Northern Territory that join us today—Samuel Bush-Blanasi from the Northern Land Council, Matthew Palmer from the Central Land Council, Gibson Farmer from the Tiwi Land Council and Thomas Amagula from the Anindilyakwa Land Council. They came together at Barunga and issued the Barunga Voice Declaration, which they presented to the Prime Minister this morning. In part, it says:

We need to be heard and urge our fellow Australians to stand with us and vote 'yes' in the forthcoming referendum, for the sake of a better future for all of us.
