I thank the member for her question and I thank whoever it was who interjected about my T-shirt because, yes, Ben Fordham has exposed the fact that at a Midnight Oil concert I wore a Midnight Oil T-shirt. I know! Hold the front page! At the Oil's last ever concert I wore an Oils T-shirt. What I said on Ben Fordham was that the referendum isn't about a treaty and isn't about truth. It's about one thing. It is about voice. It's about recognition and it's about listening to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people so that we get better results. That's what it's about. But the opponents of the Voice—you wonder why. The member who asked the question said this on Insiders on 23 July: firstly, 'I want to see constitutional recognition of our First Australians.' Well, we're all agreed then. So tick, tick.
