Progressive critics of the Indigenous voice to parliament need to “check themselves” to avoid repeating the same types of messages as a “racist no campaign”, the head of GetUp says.

Larissa Baldwin, a Widjabul Wia-bul woman, issued the warning in comments to Guardian Australia after she was announced as the chief executive of the progressive campaigning organisation on Monday.
